Why is skarner a bad jungler

[quote=SirSpankAlot]I mean everyone thinks he is ABSOLUTELY weak as a jungler but he has great ganks o.o. Lots of CC etc and he has sustain , and clearing time of 6 mins isnt THAT bad o.o. This is just my opinion :/.[/quote]

[quote=Keels]A clearing time of 6 minutes is awful. COMPLETELY awful. An Amumu, who ganks FAR better, clears at about 3:50. There are just plain better junglers. He's slow, has meh ganks before 6, even then they're not that spectacular, his late game is mediocre at best, and his sustain in the jungle is nothing special. He can't counter jungle or invade that well, as slow as he is and can't contribute much to a teamfight.[/quote]

[quote=SirSpankAlot]Okaaay true daaat, guess its only me who thinks skarner is a proper jungler:/ I always have devastating late game ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis]His speeds aren't that bad (and they aren't 6m clear times), and honestly, the rest of his kit isn't too bad either. Only thing he has problems with is sustainability early on (meaning it's super easy to counter jungle him) and the fact that his pre-6 ganks are terrible, and his post-6 ones aren't exactly anything to write home about either, considering Nocturne, GP, Xin, Lee Sin, etc, all gank better than he does when he's 6 without them being 6 themselves.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I want to know what Dan Dinh's clear time with Skar is?[/quote]

[quote=SirSpankAlot]Well stone wall does it in 4 mins xd. Dunno about dan dinh[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]he isn't the best, but far from the worst; however, gotta say, what you said didn't support him at all... "but he has great ganks o.o." not really...no CC until 6 and a very very very very short range slow. "Lots of CC etc and he has sustain" sustain yes, CC no. "and clearing time of 6 mins isnt THAT bad o.o." yes it is. but he has a faster clearing time than that.[/quote]

[quote=SirSpankAlot]Yeah i was guessing about the clearing time , i found out its 4 mins xD Err he does have alot of CC , a continious slow and a small surpress. He has got great ganks due to the MS boost and the Slow , they wont escape xd.[/quote]

[quote=Confehdehrehtheh]Skarner really doesn't have a lot of CC. If you wanna see a lot of CC in a jungler look at Maokai or Cho'Gath. They have harder CC at a greater range. I personally really like Skarner as a jungler. His ganks are alright if you can't get your teammate to CC the target first. They're amazing if you can because it allows you to more easily stick to the enemy. I don't think he needs very many buffs just because I've seen Skarner do some amazing things, but I'm happy he's getting them this next patch.[/quote]

[quote=SirSpankAlot]Yes im looking forward to the patch too! Its gonna give him base stat buffs only though:/[/quote]
