Reworked Skarner hit with fourth straight LoL nerfs as players figure out how to play him
Skarner’s journey since his rework in League of Legends Patch 14.7 has been a rollercoaster. He has undergone three additional adjustments since then, and now he’s going to be nerfed again in Patch 14.9, which is going live on May 1.
Since Skarner’s rework went live, the Primordial Sovereign has been nerfed in Patch 14.8 because he was considered too overpowered, and again in a hotfix for Patch 14.8 on April 18 for similar reasons. That rushed balance-change onslaught continues today, with League balance head honcho Riot Phroxzon confirming on X (formerly Twitter) on April 22 that the updated brackern is just about to get whacked again.
