How to Use Skarner Counter Data

This page lists the Skarner counters that matter for the JUNGLE role in League of Legends, based entirely on ranked matchup data rather than subjective takes. At the moment, Shyvana, Rek’Sai, and Lillia are the toughest matchups for Skarner, with his win rate falling furthest below his average in those games. Shyvana is the most punishing of the three: Skarner wins only 44.0% of 266 recorded games against her. On the flip side, Skarner gets the upper hand against Locke, Hecarim, and Naafiri, so those are worth targeting during champion select.

Every card displays Skarner’s win rate for that matchup along with the sample size behind it. A figure drawn from tens of thousands of games carries much more weight than one built on a few hundred. Easy, Even, and Hard labels are derived from the win rates themselves: anything under 48% is marked Hard, and anything over 52% is marked Easy. Treat them as a quick reference, not as a separate statistic. The numbers come from Emerald and higher ranked games in all regions, using patch 16.13.1, and update every 48 hours so they track shifts in the meta.
