cuz' i'm gud

Thanks for copying and pasting Lagger's reason to downvote.

Looks and feels incomplete. Ends very abruptly.

Ever played Skarner before? No? Then kindly stop downvoting every ******* guide you possibly can, thanks.

I feel like your items should be able to cover movement speed, without having to sacrafice your quintessence.

Honestly i don't like the guide at all.

It seems incomplete and the items you chose are imo subpar at best, but worst of all you give wrong information which is the worst sin a guidewriter could do. And albeit liking your enthusiasm you seem to have some hallucination that skarner is the **** and 100% the best champion in the game in every aspect.

1: Incomplete
First of all you're missing some items that are really great in specific situations on skarner.
Your ganking paths just confused me way more than it helped, split it up into several pics with descriptions for each.
I don't feel like i learn how to play skarner, what do i do in a teamfight? am i a damage dealer, initiator - what? What are my goals? What do i try to achieve as a jungle skarner as opposed to someone else? Why would i pick skarner>volibear and lee sin?

2: Items
First of all, if you get fed early get a Lizard elder instead of spirit golem, you ever tried clearing on skarner with a lizard elder? camps just disappear.
Second of all, i don't like your core item in the build. You're a majestic permaslowing ****ing scorpion man. Once you're onto someone they won't get away EVER - locket is much better as a second item since skarner loooves to towerdive at 6 and on. You have to think what synergizes with your champion rather than what your champion has and build more of it; Example: AD-master yi has a passive AD boost on his E therefore he scales well with attackspeed, lifesteal, critical strike and additional crit damage therefore you don't rush AD on master yi nor do you use ad runes on him.
You don't have swiftness boots in your cheatsheet, if enemy has 2 or more slows you ********it need swiftness boots maybe even with alacrity.
Trinity force is pretty good if you couldn't take swiftness
Randuin's is better than FH because of the ranged slow it provides making ad-carries unable to kite you as well.

3: Wrong infos
You get E way too early. It's not a good spell for anything except sustain which you don't need because well... you're ****ing skarner man.
Your jungle route is bad. Smiteless blue->red or the other way around. Also you should never have waiting in your initial jungle route plan. That's just counter intuitive since early game you want to be either: Taking a buff, powerleveling or ganking!
Cleanse doesn't counter skarner nor does tenacity.

There's probably a lot more but i cba to read more.

If you want you can take a look at my shaco guide <3 It's in my sig.

I'm in the process of writing a Skarner guide, and it's nice to see people noticing him again. We had the same idea on runes, too, so don't say I copied you when I publish =P

I looked through this now and I find this pretty hard to read, since I like big pictures in guides everywhere :P (might be a personal tick of me ;)). But overall nice written

Cheatsheet: 16/20

8/10 item picks + structure
I like your item picks, they make sense and are all good choices after all. I think that Spirit of the Elder Lizard is also a possibility and sometimes it's better than Spirit of the Ancient Golem. That makes Mercury's Treads a good item. You don't get Mercury's Treads because you get tenacity from Spirit of the Ancient Golem but if you took Spirit of the Elder Lizard I would most definately take Mercury's Treads.

8/10 the rest
I agree with runes and masteries but I can't agree with skill sequence. Why? Because Ixtal's Impact isn't worth taking before you "have to". Shattered Earth and Seismic Bastion are both better and superior compared to Ixtal's Impact.


Structure + coding: 9/15

6/10 uses of overviews, schemes and other uses of structure
Yeah, it looks good. Pretty much like basic coding tho, nothing too fancy imo. It's clear and simple guide which are often as good as the fancy looking ones.

3/5 uses of coding
As said, basic coding only, no 5 pts. to you.


Content: 33/50

15/25 Full Build Quality Explanation
Well, you do explain everything but I'd like to see more in-depth explanations and more items actually. I've suggested a few if you look up. This guide needs optional items.

15/20 Tactical Quality Explanation
You have some, put you can improve it. Add details to your explanations. e.g. When to Flash + ult or when to go in etc.

3/5 Quantity content
The guide isn't too large imo.


Bonus: 4/10

0/5 bonus chapters (matchups and synergy chapters)

4/5 attitude towards the readers (wants to improve)
Why else would've you asked for my review lols :D


I am waiting for improvements.

+Rep is always appreciated ;)

Thanks for your Vote! I prefer Frozen Heart for the aura, and to get 40% Cooldown reduction for my abilities. Both are completely viable options though, it really depends on the enemy team composition. Say they have tons of attack speed, I would take frozen heart. If i need more health, I would take Randuin's Omen.

Very solid guide, it could use more BB Code, just to make it more attractive. All information seems fine, I just have one suggestion. I'd put Randuin's Omen in your suggested build instead of Frozen Heart, it feels like better choice, imo. +1

No, It is definitely completed. If you feel there is anything else I should include in this guide, by all means let me know.
