So, this new skarner can now catch up from a distance faster when landing the slow and using your speed boost. But you can't do anything when you are actually in melee range now. Where the skill in playing skarner used to be how you could close the gap in order to permanent slow... The skill in playing skarner now is doing anything useful after you've easily closed the gap.

Yes, both situations are without ultimate.
