Constructive criticism:
May want to put his Skills and Skill Order section up right after Pros/Cons section. It tells about Skarner, so earlier is better IMO.
Complements:
Well thought out and excellently explained! Very easy to read and follow.
+1


Strength may win the fight, but style wins the crowd.

+rep if you like what I say, explain why if you don't.

Even tough i didn't play Skarner yet if I do I may try using this guide.

  • It's nicely formated.
  • Proposed runes are well chosen for a jungling, tanky build (still prefer
    combination of other proposed than the main ones you showed).
  • Items also seem a good choice
  • Informative

But if we go so tanky isn't better to take another defensive item that gives damage/AP instead of Hextech Gunblade (like Abyssal Scepter or Sunfire Cape)?

Over all the guide is greatly written, which may lead to a good start for new Skarner players. +1 ofc


Thanks to JhoiJhoi for the sig

SirSpankALot's Jungle Skarner Guide
Verdict: This guide was written with good intentions, but as many of the comments say, the author has released the guide within days of the champion coming out, and the guide has received a lot of negative feedback due to it. EDIT: A MUCH better guide than I last saw it, it is extremely easy to read (bar minimal errors in grammar) and it is very aesthetically pleasing. A very impressive guide.
Possible Improvements: I'd suggest archiving the guide and submitting a new guide with the same content but updated to how you play Skarner today, as opposed to when he first came out. The guide also needs a heavy spell check - there is no excuse for awful spelling mistakes. Take the effort to install a spell check, it's not hard and I detail it in my Guide about Making a Guide. EDIT: There are not many suggestions I can make for improvement beyond those that are in my review. Additionally, the title is pretty bad (add in capitalisation!). Also, I would PM every single downvoter with a nice query as to whether they would like to view your guide and possibly change their vote. I'm sure many would due to the guide's very apparent growth :)

Constructive Criticism:

1) Build looks great, what about grabbing an early Hextech Revolver for the spell vamp?

2) It's interesting you went utility.

3) When referring to items/champions/runes/masteries/etc, please use the wiki coding for ease of readability. So:

Q: If your early game is so sucky, why don't you get Sheen earlier?
A: Then I would have to leave my Boots of Speed and Wriggle's Lantern out :/ There goes your jungle speed amplifier and a lot of chasing power :)


Additionally no punctuation like full stops or commas are needed after a smiley face or before it. Spaces should always be added before AND after a smiley face.

4) You probably don't need to use so many line dividers :P I'd remove the ones that separate the summoner spells from their categories.

5) When using commas:

"Hello, my name is Gary, what's yours?"

not

"Hello , my name is Gary , what's yours?"

6) Not sure if line dividers are necessary in your runes section. Basically the BBCode act as separators themselves, you're kinda being redundant and wasting space :/

7) I think you should list a x/21/x tree for those curious on which masteries you'd take. And for those who don't have Resilience Seals but want to jungle.

8) Center all videos.

Best guide there is out there for Skarner. I bought Skarner about a week ago and now I get to experience this magnificent power on the fields of justice! Love it, and you! (No ****)

Elgaroth: Thanks! You are so on my favorite person list now.
Techmarine: No sorry, skarner uses auto attacks but is not a auto attack machine like jax. I will not buy guinsoos.

I don't own Skarner, so I can't say much about your build, maybe try getting Atma's Impaler before finishing Randuin's Omen. Your guide is good and detailed +1.
