He's garbage.

Before 4.10 he was about find someone out position, catching them and dueling them 1v1, they couldn't escape so they had to fight against his decent damage and amazing passive, now his passive has been changed and his damage is halved, his shields don't come frequent enough because his real passive only applies to his Q.

First they nerfed his stickiness in 4.2, that was fine because perma slow is OP (just wish Ashe would lose hers)

However in 4.10 they gave back the stickiness, but instead removed his duel potential, no CDR passive, which is really what the champion was all about, the supression is kinda unique aesthetically but the real thing about Skarner was his passive, lots of shields. More farming = lower CD ults = more ganks. Everygame was like a speed run, efficentcy was important.

Nowaways you pray nobody invades because kiilling you 1v1 is WAAAAY TOOO EASY. You don't really build attack speed because you don't have a passive anymore, you get braums passive instead. you pretty much just go in, do a small burst with your venom stacks + ultimate and hope your laner can handle the rest, it's the most do nothing bullshit, your too weak to 1v1 anyone and what used to save you from that was the CDR passive which no longer exists. The days of 1v1ing Rengar are over. Just gank lanes that have lots of CC/movement speed and damage.
