The PBE status is so sad. Permanent slow on SKarner was on of his signature abilities. All this rework does is force you to get an and limit your build options in the process. No more on my favorite champion of all time. Along side my biggest pet peeve of permanent slow being RAPED. Us Skarner players loose out in so many other areas as well. Lets go trough them for a bit:
 * The Attack speed bonus we used to have is getting HALVED from 50% to 24%. Oh, and instead of being instant, you have to hit your Q 3 times to get the full effect.
 * The Slow on Skarner is reduced to 2.5 seconds total, instead of permanent.
 * The Bonus Magic damage on Q is gone...
 * The free heal on E is gone, as well as the width it used to have, that is reduce by one third.

What do we get in return?
 * The base Shield on W went up with 5 and increment is now 50, along side 20% AP scaling.
 * 10% more base slow for one fourth of the time.
 * A Fix on his ult that reverts the "Fix" they made to break it in the first place.

TLDR; Loosing sustain in favor of durability and permanent melee slow for a ranged slow that is up 1/4 of the time while loosing half his attack speed buff and the bonus magic damage on Q seems like a HEAVY price to fix an ultimate RIOT broke with "FIXES" in the first place. Your thoughts?
