Skarner is potentially a great tank, but not so much in the tanky kind of sense, but rather in the Nocturne way of tanking. As soon as you show up everyone panics "HOLY SHIT A PURPLE THING!!KILLITKILLITKILLITKILLITKILLITKILLITKILLITKILLIT". So far I've liked him but always get focused hard, even when I'm not doing so well. In a more serious note, he seems a decent jungler but he falls behind others due to lack of a gap closer, this REALLY hurts his ganking potential with the horribly short range on his ult (well, it's short for a reason). It's one of the champs that favours offensive flashing but.... yeah, that's not a substitute for having a real gap closer. As soon as people manage to put a body-length in front of you, that's it, you're powerless. Apart from that and a tendency to run out of mana reeeal easy (you do need to get blue every once in a while) I think he's quite nice. Trololol ulti, nice steroid, the healy thing helps and the area damage is much more powerful than it seems at first.
