Champion Build Guide


Hello, and welcome to my Skarnobe Jungle Guide! I am Halfafrocan and have been playing League of Legends since season 6! I got into League of Legends while in my sophomore year of college after a friend told me I should check it out. I became immediately hooked on the game and its competitive nature!
I peaked in Season 7 at Silver 1 Promos but went on a horrible losing streak that I unfortunately did not recover from. I stumbled on Skarnobe around mid way through Season 6 when I was in my, "let's try out some underplayed weird champs phase!" I fell in love and proceeded to main him for the rest of the season and held a 67% win rate!

As previously stated, I struggled in Season 7 and did not complete my goal of reaching Gold.I still however, had a 53% win rate! Season 8 was a lost season for me as I became fed up with the game and my play and quit playing for months and then started playing sporadically and casually for the rest of the season!

Now my purpose in making this guide is because I thought it would be fun and also I think I really understand Skarnobe's kit. This leads me to finally addressing why I call Skarner, Skarnobe. The name is a combination of my favorite NBA player of all time, Kobe! I like to draw a lot of comparisons to basketball and LoL because they are similar. Both are 5v5 games in which each position has a designated role that makes the team successful but can also be carried by one superstar player. Skarnobe and Kobe are similar because Skarnobe's kit is so versatile just like Kobe's skills. I also love that Kobe was all about winning and did whatever he thought necessary to win a game. That is how I play Skarnobe and the reason I named him that. I want to get better at League and I want others to get better at League so this is by no means an expert guide. It is a guide meant to give less experienced players a different perspective on how to play my favorite champion and a place for others to give me tips on how to be a better player so ENJOY! DON'T FLAME JUST DISAGREE AND SUGGEST! |

As stated above in the items section, Skarnobe is a versatile champ that can build whatever he wants so to speak. These 5 items however, have become standard for me in almost all of my games. You typically want to start with the starting items I have mentioned above and then work towards finishing your

Amazing crowd control ability. This ability has a decently long cast length and will continue to spread to each enemy hit until it reaches the end of the cast length. Not only does this ability provide a slow but it also provides a debuff on the enemy called Crystal Venom, that stuns them when they are auto attacked by you! This is an absolutely perfect ability to gank lanes with because of its length and ability to travel and spread through minions, monsters, and champs. This ability is the reason why I left ![]() |

This ability is why Skarnobe is so iconic and relevant. It is a point and click suppression and an absolute game wrecker. Other suppression abilities in the game don't let you or the enemy move for example, ![]() ![]() ![]() |


As stated above this is by no means a Challenger guide but it is something cool that I wanted to do and share. This is just one potential build that you could try out on Skarnobe and have fun with. Skarnobe is my favorite champion in this game for all the reasons stated above and is a good try for someone looking for a new and exciting champ to play.
