I think PBE in general tends to be pretty spot-on with qualitative assessments (e.g. "this champion needs to feel good in X situation") but highly variable with quantitative assessments (e.g. "this champion is too strong/too weak at X"), due to the discrepancies in skill level across matchups. Riot made huge improvements to their feedback uptake (RiotRepertoir in particular has been on a roll) and took in more suggestions, which is a good thing, so even if Skarner is crazy strong now, I think it's better that Riot over-listens to feedback and thereby overshoots on their balancing, than if they didn't take in any suggestions at all and released content in a state that would then take months to change enough to satisfy the playerbase.
