Kills his CC pre-6. Lolwat? I'll admit that it isn't as constant, but it is actually betr. The new Skarner actually has a reliable Slow that can help him close the gap quickly. This makes the new one less team dependant. The old one had the betr sticking power but he had to get in range to apply the slow. Not to mention he had to w8 for his Crystal Empowerment to kick in first to apply the Slow. Pre-6, he would be utterly useless in ganks unless u created a careful scenario for it. Mid to Late Game his slow is alot more effective true, but his other skills do not have that much of focus for him to make use off since he is about shutting down a specfic target. The AoE slow that is constant is kinda redundant.

And like Lykrast said, AA helps u reset ur skills so u can use em again. Not to mention FM  and IBG is there for Skarner.
