Is there a way you can add match ups to this guide? I would be truly grateful to know when I can play him and when not to do so.

Like the style lacking in damage capability for survivability.
Try mine out and let me know what you think.

+1 Just for the Final Fantasy greeting.

I really like Skarner conceptually, but I'm awful at jungling so I really appreciated this guide. Thanks for the effort, kupo.

There are minor complaints, such as the lack of analysis about those harder top lane enemies and the use of Wanderer instead of Mastermind masteries, but it's a solid guide none the less.

Thanks for the advice! I'll try using fraps, but it may have to wait until I get my new laptop in like a week because my current one is pretty slow ;)

Your guide looks really nice and is very detailed. You really went into item purchases to explain when to get them. I would like you to go on more on the laning phase and your role in teamfights. Try fraps and take videos and pictures of your matches.

I like it

I voted it up. This is a good build and how I play skarner too. It works good

I know where im going for a skarner build now.

In lane I never have mana problems, because of the Faerie Charm and Meditation , and I prefer health potions in situations where the jungler ganks, and leaves me with low health. However, I see why some may prefer mana potions so I'll put it as an option, and I'll test starting with 2 Health Potion, 1 Mana Potion. Thanks for your input :)

I choose Wanderer over Mastermind and Summoner's Insight , because in the lategame teamfights you need to initiate the fight by increasing your movement speed as high as you can and Impale the target you need to. Before you initiate the fight you generally are not in combat so you benefit from the 2% movespeed when closing the gap. Thanks for your input :)

guide seems good,correctly and attractive.I think that i will not try this guide beacuse i don't play skarner as a top but good job if you do. +1

Mmmm, while Wanderer is a great option for a, well, wanderer, it's not useful in combat, since the moment you get hit, you'll lose 2% of your movement speed. I think you'd be fine putting those points into Mastermind and Summoner's Insight . Being that this is a toplane guide and not a jungling guide, the only thing you'll be ganking is mid.
