I don't know why everyone is hating on the Skarner rework. they all say that his kit has no synergy, but for having no synergy it seems to be incredibly effective. I mean his ult is exactly what is used be plus no flash bug. The atk speed on Q gives him a lot of dueling power and faster clears. The spirit stone pseudo-lifesteal also works well with his new Q. And people would only think he has no gank power because they don't have to come from river for a gank. Just tell your lane to push up a bit, sneak in through the bush, and bait an engage. Ult as soon as the enemy gets close and you get an easy kill, or at the very least a flash. I would say you might need to consider building more like a fighter with a muramana and a zephyr to get the full use of his kit than just full tank+iceborn. Galio's biggest problem is he doesn't fit into any team position with maybe the exception of jungle. Most top laner's don't build ap, and being melee without a very powerful engage tool hurts him a lot as a mid or a support. If Rumble becomes more popular, you might see Galio as a niche counterpick.
