As it happens, this "bug" as you say is really important. If the ultimate works as it sounds it does, Skarner is unable to initiate teamfights with flash-ult now, which was a pretty big part of his strenght. edit: heck, even if the bug doesn't work reliably you ought to account for it and find opportunities to use it How does this stop Flash/Ult from being reliable now? Same as before, either you get a grab or force a Flash, except now the latter may happen more often than the former. People acting like his ult doesn't even work anymore. Shit's fine, calm your sad machines. | ||

Shit's fine, calm your sad machines. agreed when you try to flash to ult as skarner, you should force a reaction flash 100% of the time and miss your ult against aware players. that's the purpose, a flash for a flash. the fact that you could still grab someone despite them flashing was just icing, and really frustrating to play AGAINST. you will still be able to flash grab 100% of the time against players with worse mechanics/reactions than you. now the skill has just been normalized to work as intended and you'll actually have to trade flashes instead of getting their flash for free (plus the kill), just like any other ganking champ besides skarner's strength has always been his dual-purpose Q which hasn't been changed. might have to tinker a bit with QEW for first 3 levels, but again, a 4s nerf on W is actually like a 2s nerf on W in the jungle. will hurt his insane escapability, but using that as a crutch for risky play was bad anyway basically all the fotm kiddies will stop playing skarner now and my win% will stay high :swag: also inb4 the %-pen change is a huge success for assassins and a huge disaster for ADC, making them even stronger t_t | ||

Shit's fine, calm your sad machines. Because forcing a flash with your flash is not an especially good trade. Before, if you flash onto someone, and they don't flash away proactively, you get a grab. Now, they got a MUCH larger window of time to flash away. Thus, it is far less reliable. This is a pretty big nerf. From my experience, i got at least one of those flash/knockback/dash etc.. grabs every second game as skarner. If all of those are now no longer a grab, that is a pretty big nerf. If this will make skarner unviable, i don't know. We will have to see this. But anyone that plays skarner at all knows that this is a rather big nerf. HOW big of a nerf it is depends on the distance the enemy can travel during the animation time with the ult still working. Usually, if you grab someone, they are at the edge of your grabbing range. If they can just walk out, skarner is dead. If they have to dash out, he is nerfed, but might still work. Still, i'd like to see the animation shortened as a response to this, since it is pretty long at the moment, and gives everyone who has any dash of flash up ample time to escape. | ||

Who, not coincidentally, is also nerfed. Seriously this Skarner nerf was needed (and I'm saying this as a Skarner player). Forcing your escape mechanism only to get grabbed is incredibly frustrating to play against, especially since it's very possible you would actually survive the gank if your flash/blink wasn't wasted. There are few things in the game that are more anti-fun than the way impale works right now. That said it does hurt Skarner quite a bit, and you have to consider enemy escapes now instead of blindly 1st/2nd pick Skarner every game to jungle. Which is probably a good thing - the pressure he currently puts on other teams for the entire game is insane. | ||

I don't see how it can be a "crutch" in any way. Ultimate flash is not reliable as an initiation, so he lost that use as a champion completely. Other junglers often have other mechanisms to deal with flash when ganking (usually it's something like actually having ranged spells) that's exactly what i meant... you can go balls deep into the enemy jungle and know you have a permanent shield + ghost. it's a crutch. now with a slight nerf it retains most of its offensive power (you won't even notice the nerf when chasing someone) due to his passive, while losing some of its defensive strength. you're going to find other ways to get his ult off. W up to them, blow their flash, flash after them and THEN ult. boom i just solved skarner for you either way, LoL community overreacting to a nerf? i never would have guessed ehehe | ||

That's what i'm most worried about i doubt it i do share your worry though if THIS is the ult change, that's no bueno. if it only applies to blink skills, not at all worried. if it applies to blinks and dashes, very slightly concerned. if it applies to any sort of movement outside of his targeting circle, then somewhat dismayed. | ||

It has nothing to do with crutches. It's like saying diving the enemy carries in a teamfight as Malphite is just using his ultimate as a crutch. It doesn't make sense. | ||

This is exactly the same argument as the idiots claiming that playing an AD with an escape is just a crutch for bad play. Either you are missing the point, or you're using 'crutch' completely differently to how I imagine it. | ||

Masteries: 6 armor pen, 10% armor pen Runes: 15 armor pen (25 if you use quints too) Brutalizer: 15 armor pen, 1337g LW: 40% armor pen, 2290g Let's assume % pen is still multiplicative. For 3600 gold you do true damage for the entire game to anyone who doesn't build armor, and crush upwards of 200 armor champs to almost nothing (60ish armor). This is not counting other effects from your team (Black Cleavers, Corki, etc) Wukong's late game just got even more hilarious. | ||
