Lillia

Hardest JG counter to Skarner. Your goal is to mess with her clear early so she doesnt outfarm you and make teamfights impossible. DO NOT GANK IF YOUR CAMPS ARE UP. If she makes the decision to farm and you fail a gank the game is over because you will never be able to catch up unless the enemy team makes huge mistakes.

Malzahar

Of all the champs in the game did you think that Malzahar is the hardest mid champ in the game for you to deal with? I did not think so at first either but it is borderline impossible if the Malzahar has a connection to the game. This champ is worth a ban. His Q cancels your E and after that if you are caught he can CC you from range. He is also incredibly difficult to gank because he doesn't need to be near the wave to kill it. Smiting during E can get rid off his spell shield and you can stun him. That's if you can get to him through his Q, R and teammates.

Aurelion Sol

At first you might feel awful playing against this champ but if you gank him early (which is extremely easy) and build swiftness boots hes actually a lot easier to deal with. At later stages in the game you need to look for flanks to kill him. It is your only chance at that point and if he has champs that can peel him or cancel your E it can be pretty hard.

Thresh

The second worst champion for you to play against. He saves who you engage on, can cancel your e, and overall counters your kit. Pretty good ban if Thresh is popular in your elo.

Ahri

OP CHAMP RIGHT NOW!

She also has three dashes and can easily charm you when you try to engage. Be patient and pray your team can burn her cds, or just go for other targets.

Vayne

The single worst champion for you to play against. He saves who you engage on, can cancel your e, and overall counters your kit. Pretty good ban if Thresh is popular in your elo.

Anivia

Just like Nunu gets ruined by Anivia so does Skarner. You cant ever touch her or her teammates if played correctly.

Olaf

With Phase its possible to kite this champ but that doesn't change the fact that he just ignores cc and forks tanks and Skarner is one of those.

Brand

Hard to engage on him and he clears the Jungle really fast. Try to counter gank him and keep up farm against him.

Mel

Shes immobile but shes just a really strong champ right now who can cancel your E with her own. Be aware she can block your Q with her W.

Aurora

Really hard to catch but if you save E and can find flanks you can kill her. She also cant kill you easily.

Viego

Hard to kill him and avoid his first reset. Easiest if you engage the fights onto him but sometimes thats difficult based on team comps.

Amumu

Your a better tank than him and you can out duel him but teamfights are difficult. The actual best way to play is to engage into him. If you can keep him from getting to your team you should live longer than he can. Full clear and use your better skirmishing. This makes this matchup easy the winrate is a lie.

Bel'Veth

I actually like this matchup even though the winrate on stats website would say otherwise. Make sure you farm early and dont int for grubs. If you are on even items you are winning against her. Also SAVE YOUR E and use it at melee range. Most Skarners will lose this match up because she will cancel your E with W and then youll be caught out. But she can never go in on your teamates if you have E since you can combo her from 100-0.

Briar

Diana

Diana you would think would be an easy matchup but unfortunately its not. She can easily avoid you in teamfights and has a really fast clear. Do your best to peel her and do your best not to fall behind early.

Ekko

Really hard to kill him and its easy for him to make you waster your abilities. Try to kill his teamates first and Only R if hes CC d and you are able to kill him before the CC ends.

Elise

Extremely hard champ for Skarner to kill and she can easily stop you from being able to engage.

Evelynn

Even old Skarner countered Evelynn. Shes an assassin. Find her Impale her.

Fiddlesticks

You need to find him and not allow him to ult. If hes using his abilities on you and hes not ulting youre winning.

Hes really easy to kill early if you can get onto him without using E.

Gragas

If hes in the top lane Ignore him. If hes in JG out farm him and teamfight better. His R can help you a lot and you can cancel his E with your own.

Graves

Dont fall behind on farming and focus on counterganking. If he gets to late game he can shred you so try to close it out in the mid game, and abuse heartsteel powerspike.

Gwen

Not a popular jg pick but she shreds you with her passive and true damage. Top lane you need to kill her before she can gain a lead.

Hecarim

This matchup is easy unless he snowballs off of killing your lanes. Full clear and focus on jungle tracking. In skirmishes its really easy to cc him but also be aware of his q stacks.

Ivern

Hes hard to deal with if you dont set him behind early. Strategize around disrupting his first clear and snowballing from there.
