KDF Moham has experimented with carrying the scorpion Skarner to the bottom lane with a rather uncomfortable playing style, promising to be a rather strange choice in the future.
Although KDG Moham is not a very famous player in the LCK, the unique style of play does not matter who is promoting it, it only matters whether it is effective or not.
In the past, we also had no shortage of strange strategies used by unknown players in the rank, then used by the world's top players in their tournaments like Top Lane Janna or the Taric Master Yi funnel. …
So what will the gameplay of Skarner Support from KDF Moham be like? Let's find out.
Accordingly, launching in version 14.7 (October 2), Skarner then demonstrated his unrivaled strength in the top lane, instead of the jungle as in Riot's design vision. Therefore, after that, Skarner was nerfed in two main skills, W and E, while strengthening his damage on Jungle Monsters:
Mana by level: 60 Passive Damage to Jungle Monsters: 75-250 Q Damage to Jungle Monsters: 100/175/250/325/400 Mana cost for W: 40/45/50/55/60 Cooldown Move E: 24/22/20/18/16
Thinking that this general would be locked in the jungle as Riot's vision, KDF Moham decided to carry this scorpion to the bottom lane with a rather uncomfortable gameplay.
Specifically, Moham chose Mysterious Meteor and maxed Q to give him extremely strong poke ability even with short hands.
Regarding the gameplay, it can be summarized as follows:
Pick up stones, throw stones, and repeat to hit the main house
Besides, because Skarner's passive deals damage according to % of the enemy's maximum health, he does not mind the lack of damage in exchanges with the enemy. Especially the short-armed tank champion in the bottom lane, which is popular in the current meta.
In fighting situations near towers, as long as the opponent is careless, Moham can carry them straight to his tower with an E Ixtal Earthquake to have a significant advantage when there is a tower to support the fight. This can be considered an “error” version of Insec Lee Sin.
Regarding equipment, the Support equipment that Moham chose is Void Detonator to make hidden stone throws even more painful. Next is the resistance equipment for Support depending on the situation such as Knight's Oath, Solari Pendant, or Storm Gathering…. Because you're a Support, you won't be able to build many items, so try to choose items that are truly beneficial to the position your team is holding.
Of course, Support Skarner is only really strong when facing short-armed generals. When encountering opponents who know how to counter, this scorpion is quite sluggish and has to rely on beautiful R usages in combat to overcome obstacles in the laning phase.
Anyway, this is still an interesting option for gamers who want to try Skarner without wanting to go to the jungle or top lane.
