Skarner Top

[quote=tehAsian]Runes: 9x [[greater mark of attack damage]] 9x [[greater seal of armor]] 9x [[greater glyph of magic resist]] 3x [[greater quintessence of attack damage]]/[[greater quintessence of movement speed]] Masteries: 9/21/0, Armor Pen in offense. Items: [[doran's shield]] + 1 [[health potion]] Rush [[sheen]], maybe a [[doran's blade]] [[boots of speed]] [[trinity force]] Then go [[ninja tabi]], [[zephyr]], [[frozen heart]], [[spirit visage]] + situational or [[mercury's treads]], [[frozen heart]], [[spirit visage]] + situational (Standard Skarner stuff) Level up Q at 1, W at 2, E at 3, then max R > E > Q > W If the enemy laner isn't a [[rengar]] with 5 ferocity, [[udyr]], [icon=lee sin][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/champion/lee-sin-73]Insec[/url], or ranged, all in them at level 1/2/3 and immediately start snowballing with your stupid permaslow + sustain. If they [[flash]], don't go after them and save it for when they're stupid enough to get too close a second time. Once you hit 6, if they step out of tower range ult them, pull them away from their tower, permaslow, kill/burn a [[flash]]. [[skarner]]'s level 1 is actually MUCH stronger than what people give him credit for. He can actually outdamage pretty much everyone except [[udyr]] and a 5 ferocity [[rengar]]. Hell, last night I even outdueled [[rengar]] and only died because enemy Maokai came to clean up. Has anyone else tried this yet? From my very limited 2 game experience, I think there's a very good chance that [[skarner]] will make a comeback, but at top lane instead of jungle.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Sounds like fun. Must try.[/quote]

[quote=Nebrasketball]Voyboy played skarner top a week or so ago I believe[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]That's where I got it from :V[/quote]

[quote=animorte]I used to play [[Skarner]] top a little. :P[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I rather prefer AP top cuz heal, shield and stuff like that. Combined they got a 1.2 AP scaling which is a whole lot of bonus HP. And he still has good damage as his stacked Q and E damage scales with AP aswell. His E actually deals more damage than his ultimate.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]And people have always hated E. Blows my mind.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Well personally after trinity I would go for defenses instead of like a Zephyr.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Shouldn't [[tear of the goddess]] work out really well for [[skarner]]? He can spam his abilities like he wants and he actually got a big amount of mana problems. This would fix this and build later into [[muramana]], which then adds a great amount of damage.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]sounds like bronze elo to me. dat asian thinking he has op stuff. [quote=DuffTime] Well personally after trinity I would go for defenses instead of like a Zephyr. [/quote] i'd say it is for the tenacity, cdr (from AA's and passive). Probably only decent if fairly ahead. either way [[trinity force]]+[[Zephyr]] puts you at around 450 MS after boots. edit: 468.[/quote]
