Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Skarner and who Skarner beats
Skarner looks scary because once he gets his hands on you the fight is often over, but his entire threat is gated behind landing Ixtal's Impact, his E. That dash has a real travel time and a fixed range, so if he whiffs the grab or there is no wall to slam you into, his stun does a lot less. He is also a tank, not a duelist, which means his solo damage is low and a champion who can out fight him one on one or simply dance around his dash can win the skirmish. The other soft spot is mobility: anything that can dodge the E, blink out of his suppress, or go untargetable during Impale slips his whole combo. When you pick Skarner you are betting on hitting your engage and surviving long enough for your team to follow up, so respect early game bullies and high mobility junglers who can fight you before you ever get rolling.
