Skarner's pre-rework damage wasn't particularly impressive either, but his rework gave him a ton of mobility, crowd control and autoattack-based DPS, so by the end he really didn't need to deal that much damage through his abilities. He already gets a massive damage spike with Sheen, and scales even better with AD and on-hit than before thanks to his improved attack speed steroid. I'd rather have a Skarner with piddly ability damage and all the awesome mobility, tankiness and crowd control he has now, than a Skarner who'd have to trade all that power off for bigger ratios.
