I don't agree that it makes him as powerful as he once was, he cannot in his current state beas powerful as he once was. You're build is too squishy for my tastes, and focuses more on AoE teamfight than the fact that this is an inescpable duelist, if it works for you it's fine, but the reason Skarner is the champion that best fits my playstyle is the duelist part, I'm a terrible flasher, to the point where I never even take it, I am pretty safe because of it, but I still get caught out sometimes. As a Fighter player, the choices for champions that can get caught out and still try and come out ahead are low.

you got Olaf, get caught out, his the enemy to lifesteal until your team can assist you. Darius/Pantheon be so bullshit OP in a 1v1 scenario that you just  win a 1v3 scenario. High scaler like Riven/Nasus, where yea early getting caught out might be an issue but just get farmed and later you hit so much they get two death timers at the same time on the same champion. However the one that is better than Riven for me, is 4.9 Skarner. His duels, even his losing ones take a while because of all the shields, he's got some speed to escape some people. And some potent stalling CC. He's strong, but not because he's an OP champion but because the build is strong and it has perfect synergy. This is a champion that I enjoyed and was good at, I could catch people out, but not suffer as much from getting caught out myself. I could run teleport and ignite/smite.

In conclusison Skarner is a AS Fighter not a Tank. You're build will never work for me, but if it works for you that's fine, it doesn't fix my issue. I just want Energize back.
