30% slow for 2.5 seconds. On an ability with a 10 second cooldown. What.

This -kills- his CC pre-6. Previously Skarner on your lane meant if he got close enough you were permaslowed all the way back to your turret. Now... what, he shows up and autoattacks after his slow wears off with a few weakened Qs thrown in? Even jungle Karthus can do better than that...

Annnnd he's now less tanky because of the loss of his heal... 20% AP scaling increase on his shield just doesn't cover that. He's... what, slightly faster now and has 0.25 seconds more CC on his ult. Well, this is a fucking buff and a half, isn't it?
