 * You gain a stronger, short-duration, ranged and instant slow instead of a weak, permanent, point-blank and conditional slow.
 * You gain a weaker, permanent attack speed steroid instead of a stronger, short-duration steroid.
 * You gain a stronger, shorter cooldown shield in place of a heal.
 * You gain a stronger movement speed steroid for no direct compensation.
 * The root only largely "unfixes" targets that Skarner loses sight of. The root won't affect blinks and dashes because most will still occur in spite of the root (see versus crowd control).

The permanent slow was overpowered - they removed it from Sejuani too.
