As long as you're winning the game that's all that matters :).

well here i am thinking ''What kind of question is that???''
But what i think you mean is ''is skarner dependant on kills( as a jungler)?''.The answer is no he doesnt need kills to help him stay at a stable level and get a stable income of gold. Unlike shaco, fiddlesticks, (and others too) skarner incinerates camps as easy as 1, 2, 3. On another note, skarner isnt that hard to play as his ult is the only reason he's top tier(being able to clear minion wave fast isn't that big of an accomplishment) If people are smart enough to know how to buy a quicksivler sash then skarner is outmatched by others in pretty much every single aspect of the game.

hope this answers your absurd question---

Well, both kills and assists help Skarner a lot. Since he's generally not the champion that deals the biggest amount of damage in the team, he's supposed to have more assists than kills (those KS carries, cant kill thing themselves).

Kill or assist, doesnt matter if you're not feeding

Actually every character is supposed to get some kills (excluding supports, sorry bros), but since Skarner is almost always an offtank/tanky dps his assist will probably higher than his kills. Skarner is not a pure damage character and because of this he won't be racking up kills like a carry.
The best example is his ult: it is used to help your team get a carry, not kill the carry (Urgot practically has the same, but he is such a boss he kills the carry himself anyway).

TLDR: yes, he is supposed to get some kills but your assists will probably be higher because you are not a carry.

Sona is a monster

btw, got 7/5/34 in the ranked I just played. The Skarner played well, he was almost tanking as much as our rammus, he got 13/6/21

PS: I played a match as Mordekaiser this morning to test something, and I realized that you guys arent good enough to convince me. You all spent months saying that Hextech was better than Warmogs, but I'm skeptic. I used the power of math and understood the situation

If my huge knowledge of 2000 ELO ranked play doesn't fail me *cough* the support is supposed to support and let farm and kills go to carries. But hell, if you can support and kill it's all the better HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE NOW ALL DANCE!

how do you carry games as a support???

support are supposed to:

during lane hase
-sit in bush coming out only when time calls
-ward so you cant get ganked
-buy oracle to get rid of their map control
-keep the time on dragon baron and buffs
-buy heart of gold and philosopher stone
-not farm
-have massive map awarness
-sacrafice yourself for your teamate
-find their jungler with clairvoyance

mid-late game and teamfights
- scout the map for wards(if you have oracle)
-heal your teamates and dont poke (you need to stay in position)
- ward their jungle and yours
-ward baron and dragon
-stay beside the ad carry and the damage that was aimed at him
-tell you teamate if you see them getting ready for dragon/baron

if you somehow have some extra gold then buy:
-shurylia(upgrade of philosopher stone)
-shield of aegis
-ionian boots
-frozen heart of abyssal scepter or randuin
keep in mind to ALWAYS have room for a ward


if you do this its practically impossible to carry as a support- unless youre low elo...
you rely on: gp5,aura items,wards,boots,and oracle
you dont grab buffs
you only kill when you're certain noone else can kill him/her.
you dont farm(thats what gp5 is for)
youre not supposed to have any gold for ap so you have low dps as it is.

tl;dr Supports cant carry. They help carry
