Which support concept looks most appealing?

Technically, the same support treatment could be applied to Skarner without issue — but tied to E instead of W. During Rough Stampede, Skarner would provide team-oriented value (damage reduction and repositioning), making him viable as a defensive bruiser support without inflating his damage.

If Rek’Sai and Skarner were both viable supports, they would cover different problems rather than overlap.

Rek’Sai support – aggressive bruiser support

Best versus hook champions (Blitz, Thresh), low-mobility ADCs, and lane bullies like Swain and Illaoi

She wants to be pulled, can survive the engage, and punish immobile champions

Weak versus heavy poke mages (Zyra, Brand, Vel’Koz) and hard lockdown supports (Leona, Nautilus)

Skarner support – defensive bruiser / peel support

Best versus sustained zone champions (Swain, Morde, Illaoi) and overstaying mages

Focuses on damage reduction, repositioning, and team peel, not burst

Weak versus hard engage, high-mobility lanes, and fast all-ins

Together, they address four problems:

Reduce Swain’s monopoly as a bruiser support

Add bruiser supports that are not hook-focused

Provide answers to poke/zone lanes without power-creeping enchanters

Create real counterplay instead of “just dodge and pray”

TL;DR

Rek’Sai punishes overcommit and immobility

Skarner stabilizes lanes and shuts down sustained pressure

Both add counterplay and do not replace existing supports

Both champions could function as viable supports, with Leona-type champions serving as natural counters, which helps maintain balance
