When I read the patch notes I didn't think much of the Impale nerf but according to the forums it doesn't only work for flashes and the like - if the target escapes the range while cast time is active, even if that means they simply walked away, the ult will fail. Skarner's ult will now have the same problems as Rengar's E straight after release, cancelling all the time and not being able to hit anything reliably. I expect many Skarners will waste their flashes for nothing.

And I was looking forward to buying him, and would not mind the W nerf, or if the whole cancel thing worked only on flashes, but this is just too much. I think Skarner won't be in a very good spot after the next patch goes live.
