I wonder if vayne could play support on bot. philo+hog, atmogs.
Could it work?

@TKbro - Skarner has the 3rd highest base damage in the game, I believe, and his Q does 72 damage like every second and a half if you auto attack between spell casts, on top of throwing in occasional Es.

He's like every other standard DPS. Very good bases, so little to no DPS items need to be built.

If you really need to solo carry with him though, just grab that Triforce.

 

[@TKbreezy]

I would like to personally thank Px, Dphat, Dangr and Mogwai for Usually answering my questions

(and Jpak when I first started playing league)

you guys are a pretty big help.

and DMG sometimes too.

idk, whenever i play with skarners on my team that get triforce, they just suck and die.

i think the main problem with getting triforce from the jungle is it takes so long to farm up that you won't be tanky when you need to be. and if you don't have anyone else tanky you're gonna be screwed (but obviously you wouldn't get triforce if no one else is going tanky). top lane skarner could probably get a triforce and still be tanky enough assuming he farms well.

but maybe that's just solo queue skarners who i see build triforce and think they are super unstoppable tank. aka typical solo queue randoms

 

[Legend4ryFlower]

You guys seem to think that you have to have more CS than your opponent for Nasus to be good. o.o

nasus isnt good anyway. he wins lane and still isnt good. melee champ with no gap closers, might as well go ap vs any smart ad carry who buys qss

he even loses in fights to short range ad, the type that usually have problems vs a top bruiser.

Nasus does well versus Irelia.

By "does well" I mean free farms while she free farms.

irelia kills nasus. then farms, then kills him again. she doesnt even need wriggles in this lane, shes just going to keep killing him forever and ever.

You'd only build that Triforce if you are doing very well/want to press a lead you have, because as you said it's expensive. Most commonly Skarners just build up Aegis/Shurelia's/Frozen Heart as needed with Merc's and Wits.

 

[jpak]

dunno why ppl dont let me support in solo queue unreal..

there are so many badchinese/koreans at "high elo"
Team CG, For love, iloverm SO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD instant loss when i see them on my team

 

[fkacyan]

Nasus vs Irelia is about even at early levels, and then she just wrecks him post 6. Her W's scaling is absolutely bonkers. she can q to farm while constantly harassing nasus away from the creep line.

 

[DallasPhat]

Highlight of today, making oddone lane so I can jungle LOL.

 

[PhantomX]

You guys won that one, I hope?

 

[DallasPhat]

Yeah, went skarner and went like 8-1-11

 

[PhantomX]

OddOne never plays Skarner, and don't know why.

 

[L__]

I've seen him Skarner a few times

 

[fkacyan]

Video games, making proper nouns verbs since whenver the **** it started happening.

 

[DMG]

Who the **** has time to say "He played the champion skarner" or "He picked/used/went/go/etc"

Team CG is everywhere, at like all elos lol.

Accidentally bought 9 Seals of Warding instead of 9 Glyphs of Warding. And accidentally bought an additional Quint (totaling 4).

Ya' think I can ask Riot to refund those for me? If so, who do I email?

 

[PhantomX]

Send a support email. They do 3 refunds as long as it's within a few weeks of item purchase.

 

[Omni]

Thanks !

 

[Zolga Owns]

LeBlanc is hilarious at 1400 ELO. People just don't know how to play against her.

 

[DMG]

13 health pot morde

 

[john!]

twitch

just... twitch

speaking of twitch... 3/5 of the way to my goal of winning ranked with every hero

 

[Mogwai]

OddOne never plays Skarner, and don't know why.

last time DPhat and I duoed and ran into him he went ****ing nuts on Skarnar. not that that's saying anything other than he's a competent player playing skarnar.

 

[Gifts]

Janna on my team: "We need to focus annie"

next team fight annie almost dead janna ults and pushes her away and then she lands tibbers on 2 team mates then amummu ult in.

Janna: "Why didnt u guys focus annie?"

-.-

 

[tarmacker]

No matter how hard I try I can't make RoA Triforce Allistar work in a solo lane.

 

[Dastrn]

 

[jpak]

Zolga climb i believe in you!

 

[john!]

first game as ahri i got fed off my ***. she's like akali in solo queue except she has aoe damage too

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I have a feeling if she were released before Talon, her ult would have a significantly lower cooldown. I think Riot is scared of making that mistake again.

 

[DMG]

They ****in should be. I appreciate Riot a lot more when they release solid or UP champs, not early Ezreal Garen Morde Vlad Vayne MF ult huehuehue etc. Champs like Maokai are a nice change of pace.

 

[Dastrn]

I've been playing her in dominion to get used to her, but I need to try her out on SR. I watched Zolga a lot during that game, and I realized that I wasn't using her ult correctly AT ALL. Zolga was popping all 3 charges fast on it, and I always end up using one every few seconds as if I have to wait, which I don't.

Zolga, duo buddies for a while? I'll get out of hell playing with you. I think we can win more than 2/3rds of our games if you keep taking mid and I keep jungling. First blood is like a guarantee.

Anyone with half a brain can be competent at Skarnar, trust me, haha.

That's why so many people ride his *** to high ELO. I'm just saying it's strange he doesn't pick him more. Saint picks him like 1/3 games.

EDIT: Dastrn stop getting Swiftness boots >: (

I don't ALWAYS burn all the charges. But when trying to burst someone, or quickly reach a destination/target I do. When I get Rylais I tend to space them out due to the slow allowing me to have more time to land spells. Dast, this duo is really working out though. I'm gonna hit 1500 jpak, if you believe in me I can do anything <3

 

[DMG]

1/3 games is pretty solid usage rate. I know what you mean but yeah Skarner gay

 

[PhantomX]

Saint was the example of a player that does pick him often, lol. GOD, BOBBY, YOU NEVER UNDERSTAND ME!

What boots do you recommend on Rammus? I've been building swiftness in games where we are already wrecking. My usual rammus build would be merc boots, unless they have 3 auto attackers and ninja tabi start looking good.

 

[DMG]

JUAN I CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND YOU WITH YOUR DOCTOR MUMBO JUMBO

Oh I know how to kill a man by ripping out his apendix or somethin

 

[PhantomX]

Can do Tabi if they have mostly AD, Merc's if they have a lot of CC or magic damage, or attack speed boots if you are ahead and don't want either of those, since that scales with your passive damage bonuses and lets you put more damage onto someone/something that is taunted. Generally b/c of Rammus passive you want the Tabi if you can get away with it. Rammus already has huge MS with his roll, you give up a lot to have a crappy 20 more MS than others with those boots. If you really want extreme map presence and ganking potential, get boots of mobility. Never swiftness.

Also if you are leading by a lot and/or have tard teammates you can also build Philo > Wriggles > Atmog's/Atmallet. Gives you more potential to carry.
