Stickiness, along with jungle control, was Skarner's core identity back when he was released. I don't think many people would be fine with that being removed. On top of that, since Phage is now core on Skarner, removing it wouldn't change much.

But I agree about nerfing his E slow. If it was 45% at all ranks (in exchange for more damage or lower cooldown later), it would be fine. The problem is that he shouldn't deal more damage when outside of his zones, so that's out of question too.

Shield MS should only be lowered at later ranks since it's not that high early, but seeing it's the only thing that gets much higher with ranks, it would end up being an even better one-point-wonder, paradoxically.
