I haven't played the new skarner on the PBE, and although I can understand what you mean, remember that there once was a Taric change which was Op on the PBE, but thrash on live. I'm actually perfectly fine with the rework on Skarner except for the passive.

Gonna recall this again, although it isn't fair to compare 2 different champs: Braum & Skarner.

-Braum Damage: 60 + 10xLvl (240 damage at lvl 18) AND basic attacks do 12 + 2XLvl (48 damage at lvl 18) while no stacks can be applied.

-Skarner Damage: 15 + 5xLvl (105 damage at lvl 18)

-Braum Stun duration: 1.25/1.5/1.75

-Skarner Stun Duration: 0.5/0.75/1.0

-Braum Cooldown for stun passive: 8/7/6

-Skarner Cooldown for stun passive: 6

-Braum's way to apply stacks: Hit with Q or aa's to apply a stack for 5 seconds. Get 4 stacks to proc the stun. When 1 stack is applied, allies can add stacks with aa's or on-hit effects.

-Skarner's way to apply stacks: Hit with Q or E to apply a stack for X seconds. Once a target has 3 stacks, Skarner has to aa them for the stun.
