Build:
Basic, but very solid build for Skarner. Good build though. He needs the tanky-ness to go in the team and drag someone down. Love how you have 3 different options, to fit your playstyle. I do think maybe Trinity Force is not a real support item. Maybe it's better to replace that with something like a randuins. Just my opinion. Build is good.

Layout
Sweet layout! It looks you put a lot of time in it. One thing to mention, the Skarner pictures you use on every start are pretty big. ATM I am on a really slow ****py computer, which makes it hard to scroll through. Also you got a lot of different chapters and some are very short. Then have a picture for every shor chapter makes the guide quite big, BUT it makes it organised though. One thing too: pros and cons are both yellow, maybe make em green and red :)?? Just an idea. Overall, LOVE <3<3 the layout. Good job!

Extra information
You got so much information on skarner, it's really nice! On every single thing on jungling. Theres nothing more to say about it.

Enjoyment to read
Like I said, my computer is not helping to read this guide through, since it's so damn slow. But due to all the pictures and chapters it's really enjoyable. You know what you're reading and scroll through the guide looking to read for something.

Overal
I must admit, I don't OWN skarner, but have played him when he was free for some times. I also saw him being played on streams as well. You explain the ways of jungling on him too. I do know how to jungle and you explain it nicely. You actually convinced me to buy skarner. I do needed another new jungler :).

+1


Oh I feel honored if I convinced you to buy Skarner. Hope you will have fun with him.
I will be considering the suggestions you gave. I am just working now on a renewed items section since Trinity Force is not the best item you can get.
I will also try to merge the short chapters so that I have less pictures.

The guide looks really polished and contains everything you could expect from a Skarner guide. Route, match-ups, warding and so on - it's just top quality.

All the 3 builds on the cheat sheet are legitimate and the runes/masteries are, too. The only thing that bothers me is the starting set-up, but I guess everybody has their own opinion. I do believe that running Boots and 3x Health Potions benefits him the most currently.

I just... don't know what to say. I haven't found anything irky in the guide, no questions asked.

Pros:
- Great, solid guide over-all
- Coding makes it comfortable to read
- Contains so much information that asking for more is a sin

Cons:
- well... haven't found any :D

This has been more than a worthwhile read. +1.

Well yeah I get boots in some situations like when we are invading or if they have somebody like Mordekaiser who has 0 mobility and uses to push but otherwise I like starting with Regrowth Pendant.

You should always start boots 3 pots on skarner, his ganks are too good to pass, and it actually gives you a faster clear time.

I've read your entire guide, it's good and informative, nice build and good masteries, the only thing i would change is to start boots + 3 pots for more mobility early on :)

Are you sure that you read it all? I said that you can start boots +3 pots too if you want some early ganks.

I don't have very much experience playing Skarner (in fact, I have none) but I have seen tons of them and I know his skillset and what not. So far looking at the guide it looks incredibly well laid out and coded. :)

I'll just post my comments and what not in bullet form, a bit lazy at the moment, sorry.
  • You've got some reallllly great artwork and you did an impressive job on the coding with columns and whatnot
  • You give a ton of options when it comes to runes, this will let a lot of people play him without being restricted by the runes they already own, and all the runes shown work well with the build and skills
  • Masteries. The only thing I really don't like in here is Mercenary . 16 gold on assists isn't that big of a difference. Any gold/time item would fill that spot much quicker, and be more reliable. Most jungle tanks take Tough Skin and Bladed Armor , and while Skarner clears incredibly fast, the former of the two may make your early sustain slightly better. It's up to you, really.
  • For the skills sequence some people may like to have the exact skill copied word for word from League of Legends with the scaling. But the tips and tricks spoilers you threw in there are really helpful for newer Skarner players. Small typo in "Why not take any points in fracture" 'beggining' should be 'beginning'.
  • Another typo in items in the first paragraph. 'explantation' -> 'explanation' and 'wich' -> 'which'
  • Skipping over to the jungling section itself. AMAZING job with each individual camp and the global objectives
  • The top lane is what I really thought was impressive. And then I scrolled down and bam, mid lane too? This is what makes your guide a notch above other jungler guides.
  • The enemy jungler section is a nice touch as well. Some of the information on it may be a bit biased or inaccurate. If you want more of my opinion on this just message me.

So yeah. I was a bit reluctant at first to review it because I don't have much interest in jungling or Skarner but the guide itself is great. I really love the coding and layout you did for the guide, I might have to message you and steal it. ;D (with permission, of course) The only thing that throws me off is the skills section doesn't have too much of a description, besides the tips and tricks part.

+1 Great job.
