Must say I haven't actually tried it in this supertanky meta yet, but skarner is incredibly strong at lv 3, and can set up the easiest ganks in the game at lv 6. When I'm up against someone I haven't met before, I usually just dance around to see how much I can do to them. It's pretty easy to engage/disengage with Q and W. Against the ones who are good initiators, Jax, Riven, Kha'Zix and Renekton, I would try to keep the minions just outside my turret, if I'm on purple team, since of tribrush. On blue team it doesn't matter AS much.

Typically, you'll want to tackle the squishies of top, but your damage is mostly sustained, so tankier enemies are more often than not a big problem. Remember to go ham when you get the Lich Bane, it makes your damage go through the roof.
