Talk:Skarner/@comment-4290320-20140619074648

If Riot is 'reducing' his base damage by an unholy amount (due to the passive obviously, which needs a slight buff in the CC department imo), could they at least make him an effective tank by adding a scaling onto his shield?

I believe that the current Skarner is better than the previous one, mostly because you can actually burst someone down by a significant amount after obtaining. ( ->  ->  ->  -> Reapply  and then autoattack the victim to proc it.
