Pros & Cons

Cons

Well Predator is the best one here because Skarner is pretty much a melee champion as he has to get really close to his enemies in order to be effective and not get kited. So here is when Predator comes into play in a very effective way - speed boost is insane so really helps out in teamfights and especially when it comes to ganking . You should really take this into consideration and do what Skarner is best at - gank as much as possible and try to feed your carries. |

Taste of Blood
|
Sudden Impact
|
This one is a pretty basic choice since Skarner has a really consistent crowd control. The 2.5% from Cheap Shot may not seem like much but it actually helps a lot especially in skirmishes considering that you can proc it inbetween a few seconds . If you like to play aggresively and counter jungle a lot this mastery will be a carry for you. |
Zombie Ward
|
Ghost Poro
|
|
Eyeball Collection is pretty good right now - will give you an extra AD permanently on takedowns and even increases with ward kills which makes it a solid choice. The other two masteries are both good options but this kind of depends on you as a player and your play style. If you care more about vision you can choose Zombie Ward as I feel is better than Ghost Poro but if you care more about clearing faster and killing people , counterjungling or playing aggresive in general than Eyeball Collection is the thing for you. |
Ravenous Hunter
|
Ingenious Hunter
|
|
Ultimate Hunter
|
Okay guys I will suggest two options here . Both are super viable. You can go for Relentless Hunter as I feel is a little bit better cos abuse one of Skarner's biggest strenghts - his map presence . The bonus out of combat movement speed is super helpful and combined with your passive - Threads of Vibration can legit may seem broken as you can probably roam around the whole map for about 30-40 seconds . That guys is absolutely insane for ganking . And the second option would be Ingenious Hunter because it will reduce the Cooldown of active items such as you Predator and Turbo Chemtank by a decent amount which again helps super much with ganking and catching people off guard. |
Sorcery
|
Celerity
|
Waterwalking
|
Celerity is honestly the best thing you can get on Skarner right now because you stack so many movement speed items on him that the 8% bonus movement speed on all of them ( Predator, Turbo Chemtank, Threads of Vibration,and Seismic Bastion) with be huge and will really make a difference. Waterwalking is also a solid choice because nowadays Skuttle has become a thing to fight for because it provides plenty of extra gold and vision so the bonus movement speed and damage from Waterwalking are sure to help you win that fight. But not just that it is also great for securing objectives faster and improves the success of your ganks. |
