How to play it
DO
Bait his stun
In a 1v1 you can abuse him if he misses his stun — bait it out, then commit.
Duel him stun-down
Take the 1v1 when his stun is on cooldown and you're outside his spire zones.
Respect early Skarner
He has one of the most efficient clears and insane early gank pressure — shut him down early or regret it.
DON'T
Never take an extended fight inside his spire zones — that's where his power spikes.
