Lead champion producer at Riot Reav3 teased what 안전놀이터 to expect from the Skarner changes, “We’ve tried smaller reworks of Skarner’s kit in the past, but it never really increased his playrate, so we’ll be looking to do a massive reboot of his kit, theme, and visuals (similar to Sion and Urgot). We’ll look to keep his kidnapping ult in some form, but otherwise we’ll be rebuilding him from the ground up.” Skarner has had one of the lowest playrates of all champions on Summoner’s Rift in Season 12, sitting at 0.5% Pick Rate at all levels of play according to stats site u.gg.
