Why is skarner a bad jungler

[quote=Searz][quote=SirSpankAlot] Yes im looking forward to the patch too! Its gonna give him base stat buffs only though:/[/quote] He needs other things. Like his Q magic dmg working on monsters. That would make him crazy fast.[/quote]

[quote=Confehdehrehtheh]For fuck's sake there is no glitch with his Q. I've taken the screenshots before and proven this to the Mobafire room on the US servers before. I'll do it again if I have to. Someone said on the official forums "THIS IS GLITCHED" when it really isn't, and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Reds have even confirmed that they can't recreate it and I've NEVER been able to recreate it, and I played nothing but jungle Skarner for the entire week after he was released. [/rant][/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Like Confed said, there is no bug. The damage is just so minuscule that it's barely able to be seen. Tested it myself and saw screenshots. Hell, starting with his Q is stupid. I'd rather start with any other skill for the speed or the healing and do a sustained path.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I haven't played Skarner, but why would riot confirm the bug if it doesn't exist?... They said it was "intentional" not too long ago.[/quote]

[quote=SirSpankAlot]The bug exists.... you see 20 damage but when you check their HP bar their hp doesnt lower..... At least that happens to me all the time...[/quote]

[quote=Maphis]Skarner isn't a bad jungler it's just that other junglers are better at this point in time. If you take a look at TheOddOne's jungle tier list here: http://www.solomid.net/blog.php?v=12154 Now this guy is arguably one of the best junglers in the game, if you look at his tier 1 champs: -Lee Sin Really fast clear, can gank at lvl 2, has a long range gap closer, aoe slow and great escape mechanism. -Gangplank Fast clearing time, can gank at lvl 2, insane buff for team, global ultimate, long range slow. -Nocturne Loads of damage through his kit, best ganks in game at lvl 6, fast clear time, lots of utility. Skarner does alot of the things these junglers do only slightly worse, he can't clear the jungle as fast as the above champs, he cant gank as well on lvl 2, he can't close gaps as fast and he doesn't bring the same amount of utility as these junglers. Skarner needs either a buff to compete with these junglers or these junglers need to be nerfed.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Like others have said, Skarner can't really gank until level 6. However, his clear time isn't especially fast at all (@OP, 6 minutes is his time to level 5, not to level 4). He's like Warwick in that a level 6 gank is extremely powerful but the problem is that he isn't nearly as safe to jungle nor is he as fast as Warwick. Buff his jungle speed and he might be able to compete.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]He actually does have more CC than you guys are crediting him for. Spank, try to find Youtube videos of Dan's Skarner if you can, it's very good.[/quote]
