Welcome to the Hextech Lab!
This channel is all about breaking League of Legends! Here I find bugs which can either be funny, interesting or strong. I also test new champions and their interactions when they are released. Sometimes I will beat records in League. If you want to report a bug or have any question, write me an email!

Throughout this meta of no tenacity, Skarner alone is the unpushable one

[@aliel9597]

Like tenacity reduces suppression

[@egorgamming5602]

"Are you unpushable because you're Skarner? Or are you Skarner because you're unpushable?"

[@RetroCube]

“Stand proud Briar, you’re strong.”

[@NattyBuns]

0:29 He is not knocked away from Trundle's pillar. He now lives in it.

[@Hagaren333]

Skarner: "I can go through walls with my E" Trundle: "Oh really?"

[@Moonflush]

That's what I was thinking when that stopped me Now I know that Trundle really applies CC when the pillar appears

[@Banzail0]

Skarner counters Poppy E, Lulus Polymorph cancels his dash.

[@huyvu6173]

Try the interaction between pyke and skarner while going in the wall. When pulled, skarner will act as if nothing happen but his e will be cancelled the moment he get out of the wall

[@hornetwitaglock8883]

One stun that doesn’t work on his E that seems odd to me is Fiora W, it might just be a skill issue on my part but I can never stun off of Skarner E with her W

[@TheAstyanii]

Skarner E doesn't damage or stun until it hits a wall, unless it's against epic monsters. It's part of why moving an enemy champ around under tower with E doesn't pull tower aggro. Hitting a champ with control immunity causes it to fizzle. However, it should still apply to Fiora W because the charge portion applies Suppression while the champ is being dragged, and Suppression is considered an immobilizing effect. Perhaps its an order of operations issue, where Skarner is being told to cancel the charge before Fiora is told that it negated an ability that would've suppressed her had it not been negated.

[@ajhintleman215]

Didn't they address that in last patch's huge list of Skarner E bugfixes? I swear that was one of them...

[@hornetwitaglock8883]

@@ajhintleman215 I really shouldn’t complain about bugs when I don’t read the bug fixes in the patch notes, you are right they did fix that. Thank you for correcting me

[@ludwigrevolution3288]

meanwhile Galio, literally everything cancels his W and E lol.

[@littleoldme128]

I don't know if you've covered this but in arena Morde ult has a weird interaction with the card that links you to your teammate and makes it so you can't move, if the teammate is linked to morde then when he ults they both go into the ult, but if instead the enemy is linked by the card for some reason when morde ults the 2 enemies and mord don't go into the ult, only mords teammate goes

[@I_Main_Singed]

I wish you also showed singed fling. It probably would cancel the skarner e. But it would be nice to see singed.

[@Unknown-gc7tn]

Maybe it’s because when he gets knocked back, he gets slowed but since he is immune to slows his speed gets overall cleansed so the short time he gets knocked back is just due to gaps in frame refresh or something?

[@crispycorn]

That is if the Briar Es before Skarner, but if Skarner has Briar when she is charging E, Briar's skill still goes off. (I would know since when I fought a Briar top, despite me being on top of her, the skill still goes off and pushes me away)

[@sebastiangalger8800]

I get knocked down, but I get up again! You're never gonna keep me down! -Skarner

[@philogict2689]

Hwei EE (one instance) did not cancel Skarner, EQ kinda doesnt even make him 'run' away. At least not consistently

[@blackicynoob6119]

There's also an interaction where briar E cancels skarner's kidnapping

[@anonymousnyancat492]

unstoppable force vs immovable object

[@Chimtokhonglo]

How about gragas e ?

[@Ranger74352]

When did this change? I’ve used Vayne against Skarner support and it hard countered him. If he tried to come through a wall, he’d get knocked into it. Even in lane I’d still knock him away, even if he didn’t get stunned into a wall.

[@daddychristmas9257]

For once this seems intentional. Makes his engage have counterplay without just being destroyed by a knock back

[@Lukashoffmann94]

Intentional or not. You can’t just have an ability interact differently with one specific form of cc. And we are still talking about rito. That ups the chance of this being a bug to at least 90%.

[@xSchockZz]

U mean its favorable, not intentional. It should work as expected, which it don't.

[@derultnerlp9319]

That would make every knockback useless… the strength if a knockback is the distance it creates, skarner completely gets rid of that and therefor counters that ability even tho it should actually counter him

[@imdaisuoo]

this skarner vayne thing varies, if vayne E as soon as he grabs her he is knocked back

[@RealSolidusSnake]

Soraka silence stops his dash, same as nunu w etc

[@injusticeanywherethreatens4810]

When youre dealing with Rito? Nothing is assured , even when they say that everything is.

[@collans4136]

E skarner vs Senna W very interesting interaction

[@MultiThanatat]

try this Skarner use E first then enemy's Renata use hand shake against Skarner's teammate then throw it to Skarner. Skarner will be stun a little but after that Skarner can still go forward

[@White-jq6st]

Try Quinn's E when Skarner is trying to run AWAY from her. Saw this in Aram and i always pulled her into my team. Weird interaction

[@Briezar]

Skarner E hit box extends to his back side. You can try to hit snowball then E backwards to your team, he would always grab the target.

[@White-jq6st]

@@Briezar I know that but I didn't think it would cancel Quinn's E

[@johanestebanramirezbarrios1411]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DIDNT TRY E QUINN xd

[@adryelalves4501]

Rare quinn main spotted

[@johanestebanramirezbarrios1411]

@@adryelalves4501 the thing with quinn is that when you use E vs a cc, you get cced sometimes xD VS shen sometimes if you use E vs his taunt you get taunt or not, vs gragas E you get stuned in front of gragas xD

[@mypersonalaccount4934]

With Quinn's E it depends on direction, but if it's to Skarner's face, Quinn usually get caught before her E proc. This is due to Skarner E having huge hitbox.

[@charmingvang4082]

pretty sure this isnt a bug, he can be cc from using that ability since release

[@meisterschiumpf9759]

Well how about knock up?

[@tekurohamada7068]

I wonder if its possible to stop his e with Thresh w

[@Unknown-gc7tn]

Do you mean this as teammate or as enemy since there is no collision on thresh w and his e is a charge so he has to cancel his e to click w anyways

[@balzac7651]

how about Alistar W?

[@masterwu8314]

same with corkis w

[@gooblos7654]

pretty sure fear doesn't work on skarner as well.

[@InnerTriggerer]

also Yasuo cannot R him with any knock up in his E duration.

[@xxaguelogeixx2909]

yes

[@stratosslet1172]

Probably knock backs are like walls and skarner e gets theough em

[@Art51151]

Honestly relaunching skarners entire lore was the best the decision rito made. They now have the freedom to add more brackern clans, no more poorly written poopy stories about politics, its resolvable, actual relevance, and so on. I will agree his personality is not the best but hey it better reflects the community

[@sournitric6117]

2nd

[@aquamanua7012]

first

[@howdyfolks5134]

"Skarner should only be slow immune during his E charge" FK-U
