When I saw Skarners top they were AP + Lich, Iceborne and tank. Scary. With jungle Fizz I build Ancient Golem and go damage from there. Skarner's one of my favorite champions, but sadly, he's not in that good of a spot seeing as he's very blue reliant (era of counter-jungling) and outclassed by other junglers, Vi in particular. He's getting a rework soon, so I'm looking forward to that. |

Don't build a sheen or any damage item on nasus. You're best off building full tank and letting your Q bonus damage and your ult do all the work. Your ult already gives you a ton of damage and same with your siphoning strike, and you have a lot of utility. The only real damage item I ever build is a Last Whisper, and that's situational if the enemy has a lot of armor. |

It's an alright item, but Frozen heart is better on him. It has more cdr for more siphoning strike spam(actually higher damage output given decent farm), and lower cooldowns on wither makes it easier to lock them down(probably more so than IBG). The aura also is really good and it overall grants more stats. Iceborn gauntlet isn't "useless" as an item, it's single handedly the reason Ezreal is so good right now. |

First off, popularity of an item does not mean it is good. For a long time, people played Twisted Fate as an adc. People played Ezreal as an apc. People used to say murumana on Ez is a troll item, now it's apparently core on blue ez. Popularity just means people think it is a good choice. Secondly, an item win rate isn't representative of how good it is. More expensive items tend to have high win rates, because if you're winning you're more likely capable of affording such items. Ohmwrecker has a consistent >60% win rate in ranked. Does this means it's a good item? No, it has a high win rate because people buy it to finish people who try to turtle off when they're already winning. It's not that IBG is a bad item on him, it's just that Frozen heart brings so much more for your team. It's an ok item for game modes like Dominion where you won't get much farm or into as many teamfights, but on SR Frozen Heart outshines it. |
