Skar's new zones don't work anything like Rek'sai tunnels. Not even close. Even if Reksai tunnels gave the same buff, Reksai can put her tunnels anywhere she wants. Did you forget that? Skarner has 0 control over where his buff zones are, which means he is at the mercy of how stupid his opponents are, and I'm pretty sure that "hey, don't fight in that glowing circle that only covers about 10% of the map" Is a pretty damn simple counterplay for even the bronzest of players. Oh and they can just cap the point themselves and deny skarner everything quite easily, so even avoiding the zone has stupid easy counterplay. Plus the simple fact of what exactly is skar going to do with all that AS even when he IS buffed? He has no hit effects in his kit, about the only viable on hit item you could buy him is Wits End, and that's arguable, sheen is really the only damage item he gets and that has nothing to do with attack speed. Sure it makes his Q even more spammable, but that's about it and Q now does even less damage. Though I will note that the "perma-slow skar Q" can make a partial comeback with the new buffs to rylai's, having a 1 second 40% slow on a 1.5-2 sec cooldown, but that's about it really.
