It's his biggest downfall, and honestly what makes him a terrible jungler other than his honestly mediocre ganks. I feel like there aren't enough item slots for skarner to be effective. He scales so well with items but starts out so bad, but then has to build an insane amount of tankiness to stay alive at close range long enough to take any advantage at all of the damage he can now finally do (provided he gets into range in the first place, which is a bit of a stretch; I wish they'd add tenacity or something to his shield).
