Isn't E the only ability you don't level up in jungle skarner?


That's correct.

I don't see how that how E maxing in top lane would be better then.

Completely anecdotal but I faced a skarner in 3s once and the bug became unkillable. All I remember was he had two dblades and then maybe ibg and wit's?

E isnt a 1 point wonder spell therefore you choose to max 2 of Q, W, and E. For jungling Q is the best spell, and W>E (at least arguably)

max E skarner might still be the best top lane

most champs have at least 1 spell that has most of its strength at level 1 skarner is an exception and mana constraints bottleneck your options, they are going to change that in the rework however

How much sustain is it? on his E? is it significant enough to warrant it over shields on his W?

His E sucks. Bad. It's short ranged, hard to land, costs a TON of mana (if you spam E forget about using other skills), and just never does that much.

If you want to top lane him wait for vs a meele champ and do it, his Q does a metric shit ton of damage in lane. Your main enemy will be mana. I've seen Skarner top about 5-6 times now, and only once it did well. Just a lot of his kit is no good for laning (his Q will massively push a lane like Noc passive), so if you get behind you are basically doomed. Idk I just don't see it.

Now, off to Miami for the weekend! Going to watch some LCS on the beach :D!

W > E is not really arguable, it's 100% for sure. You literally don't waste one point in E to max Q and W faster. E just never does much except on paper.

When Skarner first came out I was playing him top with E max, it was pretty hilarious to hit someone with an e for 1/4 their HP and sustain off of it

Well city decided 9:30am was a good time to remove the tree stump in front of my house. With a basement room facing the stump, rather rude awakening to say the least. Nice GD thread to wake up to I guess. Esports waits for nobody.

I feel bad for putting in GD but what the hell.
http://www.twitch.tv/waveofshadow/b/449976134
Going to try and stream some more tonight, whether IHs or me attempting solo Q.
Maybe I'll pull a Req and start one of those 'for the love of god please help me improve' deals.

With less rage of course.

you dont understand, its not about E being so bad you dont even put any points in it, its that its a skill designed to max first because its only good purely based on its numbers. Rank 5 E does 240 damage and 90 healing (up to 180 if you proc like 4 charges with q on a wave of wraith camp) and W shields 250, with a ms and attack speed buff. If E was buffed enough to be better than W everyone would put 0 points in W and max Q and E

I think 1 point in W would still be worth it for the movespeed utility.

Did they change how much LP is gained this patch? Earlier this week when I was playing, I was only getting +10/-10 on average, but since last night I've played about 10 games and went from gold 5 to almost gold 2, winning +30-40. Doesn't seem right

I was once in your position too. Except placed in Bronze III. I cared too much about winning and losing, and would just go on tilt. I started just playing to have fun, and improve. Ended up going legendary everygame, carrying with highest damage done, and am currently Silver III gaining 40 LP per win.

League is all about your attitude. If you go in just to have fun, and not stress about winning or losing. You end up playing far better.

TL;DR: Shit happens. Make the best of it.

This coming from someone with your handle...
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

No, it just depends on where your mmr/elo is in comparison to your division. If your ELO is significantly higher than your division you'll gain a lot more LP per win, and lose less LP per loss. But if your ELO is lower compared to division, you lose more than you gain. If it's around where it should be, you gain/lose the same.
