Alright, League fans, gather around – it’s time for some exciting news about Skarner's much-anticipated rework! After winning the Season 12 VGU poll by a landslide, our favorite crystal scorpion is getting a major glow-up in 2024.
Skarner's New Look and Abilities: What's Buzzing?
Skarner's rework is more than just a simple touch-up. We're talking a full-on transformation here! His abilities are getting a complete overhaul, and he's ditching his crystal vibe for a more scorpion-centric theme. And get this – he’s now rocking not one, not two, but three stingers! Talk about an upgrade, right?
Q: Boulder Toss with a Twist
His new Q is all about picking up a hefty rock and hurling it at enemies. This isn't just any throw – it dishes out AoE damage and slows down those unlucky enough to be in its path. Plus, Skarner can hold onto the rock, deciding when to unleash his stony surprise.
W: A Shielded Scorpion
Skarner’s W seems familiar but with a twist. It's a damaging field that comes with a shield. While it shares some similarities with his current W, the jury's still out on whether it'll offer the same attack speed perks.
E: Wall-Drifting and Grabbing
The E ability is the freshest addition to his arsenal. Skarner can now scuttle through walls, grab his foes, and stun them if they hit a wall. It's a game-changer for sure, but we're still waiting on the specifics of how it interacts with other champions.
R: Impale with a Group Hug
Skarner's ultimate, Impale, is sticking around but with a significant tweak – he can now snag a group of enemies instead of just one. Though there's a chance to miss, and it deals less damage if someone manages to cleanse out of it, it definitely ups the ante in team fights.
Skarner's Skins: A Refreshing Makeover
With the rework, all of Skarner’s skins are getting a revamp. From Earthrune to Battlecast Alpha, each skin is set to match his new, modern look, aligning better with League's ever-evolving aesthetic.
Release Date: When Do We Get Our Claws on It?
Though initially slated for a 2023 release, Skarner's big day was pushed to the first half of 2024. While the exact date is still under wraps, we know it's just around the corner. So, get ready to skitter across the Rift with a whole new Skarner soon!
In Conclusion: A New Era for Skarner
Skarner's rework has been a long time coming, and it looks like it'll be worth the wait. With a complete overhaul of his abilities, a fresh look, and revamped skins, Skarner is set to make a grand re-entrance into the League of Legends universe. So, brace yourselves, summoners – Skarner 2.0 is about to make some serious waves!
