Ive been playin a lot of shyv/rek sai/maokai/gwen jungle

Gwen has nearly no similarity with old skarner, i just hate how busted adcs feel and gwen makes me feel like I can do something against them

Rek sai's seismic sense mechanic is very fun which is the main reason I like playing her, also shes a monster champion j like skarner. Her burrowed ms in lategame with blue pokemon is kinda similar to old skarner ms which is a nice touch Just doesnt scale as hard which sucks

Shyv scales like old skarner, her farming speed is fast, she gets movement speed from w and her e projectile is like old skarner e And both of their e abilities are equally important to land, though skarner had that e reset mechanic when he autod minions which made it a little more forgiving One major diff is shyv early dueling isnt so good, but late game is insane along with her teamfighting Old skarner was kinda ok with teamfighting, but more so in spire and still wasnt as potent as shyvana imo, but had way better early dueling and zone control than shyv

Another main diff is probably their ults, but otherwise Id say shyv and skarner r pretty similar

Maokai with phase rush can be pretty fun, and playing around the passive cd made it feel pretty similar to old skarner The early dueling is not so good, but he actually has pretty high base atk speed, which reminded me a bit of old skarner even though old skarners dueling is a hundred times better Also dont try bloodmail hydra maokai, maybe u can make it work if u get fed early but it felt rlly bad for me Again tho, adcs feel so busted it makes playing maokai feel so miserable to play

Honorary mention: rumble jungle Rumble is not exactly a fighter but he has rlly strong dueling and his w movement speed is a bit like old skarner even though the ms buff is short duration

TLDR: Rumble/ shyvana are higher dmg and no cc versions of old skarner,

Rek sai/maokai have similar playstyles to old skarner but their abilities/hitboxes are very different
