It's very important!!
Meh, after how underwhelming Veth turned out to be I'd prefer if they ditched his crystal shit and just made him a Void monster. It makes more sense for a Scorpion too.
We actually looked into this as well! The overlap with Rek'Sai was too strong which made Skarner quite un-iconic.

It's a pandora's box. Noone should be burdened with this knowledge...
please burden me with this knowledge
Aatrox is way lower than he should be 😤
I need to know Skarner's ranking
I don't know off the top of my head, but /u/reav3 might.
Seraphine and Skarner...nsfw?

I need to know Skarner's ranking
I'm not going to share more than this because it could make for funny content down the road, but since this is Skarner's time in the spotlight...
He's in the bottom 25% :(
It's like they go too deep into the metrics-based storytelling and forget that having a wide range of variety is a strength and that there are people who love some of their more subdued stories.
They already went and completely discarded the old duty-bound and noble iteration of Galio and built this merry-go-lucky I'm A Hero character, and this post almost sounds like a threat that they are planning on doing the same to Skarner.
In regards to crystals, it's like they limited the idea of crystal to it being a material and disregarded the whole soul and magic element that is tied to the Brackern crystals. A crystal heart, with blood that becomes crystals when it's spilled, with claws and sting of sharpened crystal - none of this approaches would conflict with earth elemental magic, but imply a mastery over it that humans are not capable of replicating.
Like metal bending or lightning bending, a stone that turns into a crystal is the "going further beyond" storytelling point that could be used for the highest points of power of Skarner as an earth elementalist.
And the crystals themselves are not Hextech. Hextech is what humans do with the crystals. The crystal theme is just the deep connection that the Brackern have to the elemental magic of Runeterra. It's already setup as an incredibly powerful dyad of Human Industry vs. Nature, and it's both baffling and ironic that they are looking at getting away from it because they are incapable of conceptualizing the crystals as anything more than the human-refined material version of them.
This was a disheartening dev update.
I think my intentions is not to say that Crystal Scorpion is a bad idea or that it cannot ever be done. However, it was a story that we DID tell and a theme that we DID do in the first rework. What data did tell us is that beside a few vocal individuals that deeply loved the theme, majority of the player base cares very little for the theme.
It would be highly illogical of me to ask the team to revisit that exact combination and expect something better than the previous version because that would mean I have made the assumption that:
1) Crystal Scorpion is the best theme out there for a scorpion champion
2) The previous team, though with their longer experience, did a worse execution on the Crystal Scorpion thematic and that our newer, less experienced team can do better!
Removing the limitations of theming, story and baggage means the team can focus on how to deliver on a more cohesive character than struggle through the problems.
Ngl, constant yelling and seething rage are kinda red flags💅
Ya but I can change him
