After the long-expected rework, Skarner became both a character in demand and a curse in terms of game balance. According to the website U.GG, Skarner's win rate in a Platinum bracket and higher is outrageously low. 

When used as a jungler, Skarner has an abysmal win rate of 37.63%, which is by far the lowest across all League of Legends champions. Regarding support and top positions, the situation is better but not by much (43.06% and 45.27%, respectively).

Skarner was introduced in the League of Legends in 2011. Several years later, the community was eagerly waiting for him to get a redesign. Together with a new look, Skarner also received an updated skill set.

While low win rates might not be surprising since many people are immediately trying to figure out the new champion and their limit, Skarner's case still stands out because such numbers are extremely low. It is interesting to see if Riot will buff Skarner quickly or if the developers will wait to see if this champion's playstyle is optimised.
