Skarner was arguably the best duelist jungler before the rework. My guess is that the rework has increased his ability to deal damage in this same scenario since he gets all his damage stats from one spell now, however, his ability to force enemies to stick around has decreased since he no longer has his permanent slow proc.

My guess is that they'll buff him, though I'm not sure how since the wrong kind of buff will just allow him to own the enemy jungle without any fear.

"There a reason to use Skarner over Lee Sin like ever?"

Lee Sin is one of the most versatile junglers in the game. Buy any items on him and his kit will leverage them. Play him in any role and he'll be fine. I'm not under the impression that Skarner's kit is fine at the moment, but comparisons to Lee Sin aren't particularly fair, he's just a ridiculous champ that should be removed from the game.
