Hey, did you try the new Wit's end with Skarner? I was wondering if the item would be a good mr item for a bruiser Skarner.

Hey @ Gozagal,

That is a good question. I have not tried it out but I actually doubt it will be very effective on .
I can see the appeal, but in my honest opinion this wouldn't be the best magic resistance item you could build, not even on bruiser . This would require being in the middle of the enemy team and auto attacking all the time.
The problems I see with this is that you want to be the one dragging the enemy into your team, not fighting in the middle of the enemy team.

But that is just my view on things and if you want to build it, you should definitely try it! ^^

Hi Kaji***ihoAkukai!
I'm Corvux and as a main jungler I'll like to know how or base on what parameters you take the decision to use one rune path or the other with ?

For example: I create a full AP bruiser version of

Skarner JG S9

, that I will like you to check and try aswell so you can give me your opinion in a comment and/or +1 vote if you like it. There I explain why an how I use my runes path to take the full potential of it.

Hi @ Corvux,

First of all thank you for the comment.

The choice in rune path is based mostly on what needs your team has.
If your team requires you to be a full tank jungler I tend to take the tree as my main rune path. This is best in games where you have no other tank champions in your team.
If your team requires you to deal some more damage I take the tree as my main rune path because it allows me to set up ganks easier and it gives me a higher damage output.
The same is applied to which build you should take. Tank build if your team is full of squishies and the bruiser build if your team is low on damage.

Now I have read your guide and seen you runes and thoughts, I will start looking into this and I will get back to you once I found the time to test your thoughts! ^^

Hey, I would suggest at counters you leave some comments for every counter and then add some more champs btw awesome guide

I do agree with the threats and synergy comments so we can understand better why and how to deal with it. Besides that will make your guide much better of course.

Hey man, thanks for the comment! ^^
Glad you liked my guide.
And you are right, I will look into it my friend!

Is really that strong on that it's better than other runes?

(140) |

Well it is in my opinion, but of course everyone can have a different opinion! ^^
I feel like it's a strong rune because it will speed you up while dragging someone to your teammates with . This burst of movement speed can make sure you separate your target as far as possible from his team.
But of course you can take other runes, this is just the rune I find most success with! ^^

Would also be a possibility as a rune?

(140) |

It certainly is an option to take !
You could take this rune as a replacement for .
The reason I didn't take it as my own runes is because I really like on for all the movement speed it provides!

@ Kaji***ihoAkukei what a nice guide i must say, but i have a question.
What are the situations when i should go for bruiser build instead of tank build?

(140) |

Hey dude,

Thanks and sorry for the late reply.
I've been very busy.
You should go for the bruiser build if you team has enough tanks.
For example if you have a Maokai top and Leona support.
In teams like that you need a little bit more damage instead of tank stats. ^^

Np man and ty very much, keep up the good guides

@ MishaKHL thanks for commending my guide! :)

Nice guide, it needs some more in depth on the items though! ^^

(140) |

Thanks, and you are absolutely right!
I will be working on that as soon as possible. :)

Do you think would be a good keystone on ?

That's a good question!
I have been experimenting with different runes on and is one of them.
There are pros and cons to taking this, but in my opinion it isn't really worth taking compared to other runes.
Yes, you get a nice slow which makes your ganks more potent, but if you are able to land on your target they will be slowed as well and they will be stunned afterwards if you hit them with a basic attack.
I feel like you get more value from or as your keystone as a whole + you need to take into account that both and offer more to as a whole than .

Nevertheless, I wouldn't call a 'bad' keystone and it most certainly has it's use if you really want to take it.
If you want to try it, go for these runes in :
- and .

I hope this answers your question! ^^

It certainly does, thanks a lot! :)

You're welcome! :)

Hey Kaji, me again. ^^

What do you think about the new as a keystone on ?

(140) |

@ Sideshow Bob hey man, good question. :)

Well, I can see the appeal in taking the new .
You could change to before going to gank. Combined with this could make you so fast, there is no time to react for the lane you are ganking and would guarantee you a free kill.
So in the point of view I can really see this working.
This is of course only one of the possibilities the rune would offer.

On the other hand, I stick with what I said in the previous response. I think and offer more as a whole than . But I can certainly see being used in very creative ways. ^^

Hope this answer helped you in any way. ^^

Okay, thanks for the answer.
I tried playing with and it's like you said.
It feels good, but the other keystones feel better. ^^

(140) |

I also tried playing with and I have to say it does create a lot of fun moments!
For example: I ganked toplane, switched my to and ganked botlane right after!
So I can't say that you shouldn't take over other keystones if you feel like this suits your playstyle! ^^
