it's even more hilarious on Tristana with Q. It looks as if she's doing pirouettes.

Turkey runs BT into PDPDPDPDPDPDPDPD but I dun think he runs MS Quints cuz he's not troll enough :[ I think lifesteal on ranged AD is severely underrated, esp when you run a kite strat :/

wait what, I'm pretty sure it doesn't because those don't have a "length", it just slows for however long you're standing on it.

Not even Turkey trolls as hard as Only Jaximus (or something like that) who went solo top Leona, died to Mord, and then ganked bot trololol.

I know, it's his tryhard build too. IE vs BT will be an age-old debate, I prefer his BT build because it's so hard to kill MF when she's kiting properly with that MS O_O; You burst her but if she survives and positions properly she's back to full hp in like 4 seconds >_<

Just played some more Skarner.

I still don't understand why people call him UP. I even managed to kill a Xin 1v1 when we were both reasonably farmed. The king of 1v1 gets raped late game by bling bling scorpion. Just flat out 1v1 slamming into each others faces.

Grabbing targets and dragging them into your team or dragging away that enemy carry and going skarner on their ass.


You farm like a beast and you rape towers with more fury then a scorpion that's been stuck in a shoe for a week. It should go without mention that you go at the speed of a fucking racecar whilst your targets are moving like snails on a treadmill.

People gotta try this dog out, but don't be going into no shit jungle. Not only does he jungle slow as fuck and his ganks suck balls without ulti, he has to spend way too much money on items he doesn't really need other then to jungle.


He's a solid top dawg champion, beats the shit out of a lot of classic tops. Maybe he works on other lanes but i doubt it. He can't compete on bot with all that ranged harass every time he goes for a nibble and mid is so fucking long range these days that skarner might never even get a taste of that enemy champion.

Ooh yeah, and everyone thinks he sucks balls so you are probably looking at a buff and everyone thinks you are the man for owning it up with skarner.

Also, use the target champion only hotkey. None set by default, so you have to go to menu to set it.

His scaling is awful and his base abilities aren't anything special either. The typical top dawgs as you call them should poop on him because his sustain with e->hit isn't nearly as good as say, Turtle stance. Also he's only fast if the shield is up, and it takes 1 spell from a caster or 2 hits from any carry to break it if you maxed it, which means either your Q or E are awful.

He's not 'UP' but he's not some awesome champ that will totally change matchups top lane. He's just a middle tier champ, which should be perfectly fine if there weren't so many bruisers significantly better.

Scale is awefull? He has some of the highest stat growths in the game. The base on his damage covers him long enough to keep him more then viable until the sheen/triforce rolls around, at wich point his enormous base atack damage starts to pile up and you dish out the damage.

You gotta play him, stop thinking you know him and play him for yourself and play him proper. People in LoL take too much for granted. Same reason Eve went from que dodge to game changer with minor changes.
