How to counter Skarner
Skarner is a tank jungler who hits hard with his empowered strikes, catches with his E, and drags a rival with his ultimate's suppression. His weakness is that he depends on his pick and is somewhat slow, so you stop him with tanks that endure his initiation, champions that scale better, or that dodge his grab.
- Sejuani — Tanky and full of crowd control, she matches his durability and contests the initiation without falling to his pick.
- Vi — She dives onto him and out-duels him as a bruiser, tanking his damage and bursting him with her combo.
