Yeah, he have so many reference about his supposed godly profeciency with earth based abilities, but in his kit, he just pick and throw a rock and...that's it. Really a shame.
I feel like he lost some of that depressed sadness old Skarn had, which was cool. Now he's mostly big ego roasting everyone and keeps shit talking, which is like what 90% of new champs do.

@@AkuniLesare Bro old Skarner did NOT have a deep personality. His story was tragic, but there was nothing to him beyond his motivation (which Riot also did nothing with)
skarner old lore had literally nothing. he wakes up and???? his people is in risk and??????? he was just a scorpion made out of crystal wondering runeterra bc his people are in danger. LITERALLY nothing more
@@Yoshyguy21 Old Skarner has a deep personality if you don't reduce him to his ingame quotes. He was grieving and very angry. Humanity betrayed his kind. There was this constant fight within him. He wanted to join his kin - He didn't value being alive. But there was also the intense wish for revenge - To make things right. Old Skarner had various angles to tackle survivors guilt, revenge and anger driving people to desperate solutions, not to mention coming to terms with a very harsh truth. Compared to the new lore that has him as a xenophobic and paranoid opressor. New Skarner is fixated on keeping things as is. It's the insane wish for time to not advance. Going from there, he either fails his goal of keeping Ixtal secluded (And Qiyanna works on that) or he succeeds and nothing ever changes. Whereas old Skarner could go multiple directions, new Skarner can go two directions. His new lore and personality is less deep than the old lore/personality.
This makes me really miss the old sad but more empathetic skarner... He seems really devoid (hehe) of any of the past personality , which is what i think was the most interesting thing about him
He seems to genuinely care for Ixtal, I really love his new characterization, even if his ego gets in the way, it seems he'd still lay down his life for the Ixtali people, and thats badass.
For those saying they miss the old sadness of Skarner, its still here. It's just more subtle. His new story has him stationed as the sole vanguard of Ixtal, he has to exude strength to match his new kaiju size. But under his voicelines you can still hear his depression and even a little happiness. He yearns for the day Ixtal's people will line up to see him, "to love him" and he wears their offerings proudly as he actually loves their reverence for him. His new lore has pushed him into a similar niche as Ornn which is good because Ornn has some fantastic lore. He just needs more stories moving forward to show off this new personality and I think people will warm up to it more.😄❤
I mean, I know we've got star-creating dragons, void empresses, and Freljordian demigods; but you have to admit that an Armordillo is a little bit too much.
How a void hating underground behemoth has zero interaction of Rek'Sai, and voidborn underground behemoth. I'll never understand. Big missed opportunity imo.
there are few of us, who remember them. very few have the chance to see them. less so, speak to them. one day, they will be reminded of what was left forgotten. (love your name and pic btw)
I don’t understand why no one is talking about skarner’s interaction with rammus. He asks out loud if rammus is an armadillo, then answers his own question with a no. We can most definitely take this information as a confirmation that rammus in fact is MORE than an armadillo. I know it’s just a small thing, but I can’t help but be interested in it.
Someone in someone else's comments pointed out that those Rammus voice lines are a reference to armadillos eating scorpions. That's why Skarner hates Rammus.
"you carry a traitors flame" said to milio, how dare you skarner? it gives a vibe of him being extremely old fashion, it also means milio wont be accepted in yun tal
Skarner telling Bel’Veth to ‘Starve’ has the same energy as saying ‘Cope.’
I think it's more of "you should starve yourself NOW"

I like that we get a villain after so many got reworked or retconed but why did it had to be the most symphathetic champion of them all.
He ain’t a villain-just overprotective of Ixtal out of fear from what happened in the past.

The way Skarner tells Bel'veth to Starve reminds me of the Lich saying, "Fall" in adventure time.
funny you say that because his line "i sentence you to one million years in the dungeon" is a direct nod to adventure time lol
@purum6060 yep, that's my favorite line for him for sure. Lol, it's so good.
