Short version: Nerfs and s3 happened.

Long version.

Skarner works poorly in the season 3 jungle. He clears kinda slow and spends alot of mana to do so. He has issues ganking warded lanes and oracle is less efficient. His lategame is also worse since shurelias isn't as convinient for junglers anymore. The nerf to his W reduced his 1v1 potential by a huge degree due to how it interacts with his passive. Finally he can't interupt jumps, flashes and knockbacks anymore so even if he gets in range it's no longer a garantied initiation.
