And I was finally content that I won't hear about this shit at least on Skarner.

His Q is a small physical aoe nuke. OK, nothing new here. Does it deal magic damage and slows targets if you used it priorly? YES! The first hybrid damage basic skill (that's not an attack modifier, bitches). And it has prior activation conditions too, which makes it fun to use correctly.

W: Self shield. Seen before. I guess you can't really be original with shields. "What is this?" "a shield." "what are it do?" "it shields" "that's it?" "well it also gives attack and movement speed which Syncs up with his passive" "Meh"

E: Now E... Is a fucking beauty. What we've got here... Is a line AoE nuke that marks all targets. Now... the thing is that further damage on those targets heals you. So you E a mass of units, go between them, Crystal slash, profit. So far, his abilties combo nicely together, making you a real scorpion death trap.

His ult? Supressing a target while being able to move it after you? Genius!

So, what do we have overall? A tanky dps anti-carry that can stick close to his target and make sure it never escapes, deals hybrid damage so it's hard to itemize against him, Has two forms of sustain (Personal shield and Personal healing, Personal jesus, lol!), Abilities that get lower cooldown the more you smash at them, and he either slows you and his team reaches your remains, or he crashes the best CC on you and drags you back into a pit of blades (slight over dramatisation).

This guy is a jewel that would make Taric hard for the money and proves that Volty is one of the best designers. If you think he's unoriginal, meet my machete: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIxcVzwLR1k
