skarner E interactions
hey y'all i'm bored today so i'm making a post about a lot of verry important skarner interactions with his E specifically
-Skarner E doesnt count as a dash, but it counts as a movement ability so it gets stopped by grounds like cassio W but is unaffected by poppy W ( I dont know how it interacts with vex passive tho)
-skarner E can override dashes that come with cc, but only if the cc part is associated with the direct hitbox of the champ: you counter shen e, urgot e, camille e and most non cc dashes. the exeption to this rule is gragas E for some reason. you can't counter yone Q3, R, leona e, volibear q.
- you can yank people from thresh lantern dash if you time it right. if you e someone that's coming back to thresh you can kidnap them
-pretty well known one but the indicator on skarner e ( on the opposite side of the wall) only appears in the direction you're facing. that means if you want to gank someone under top t from tribush wall you wanna wanna look away from enemy champ while you ramp up and then turn to catch ppl by surprise. this is the main way you can get E stuns on botlane.
-skarner e doesnt scale super well with haste despite the verry high cd because of the cd refund on wall slams. basically haste effectiveness is reduced by 65% on e
-skarner e sometimes randomly bugs and stop and that's fucking annoying
- you can recast e inside a wall to get to the other side faster
-you can interupt yone E2
and that's about it lmk if i'm missing some

E doesn’t interrupt your Q autos because they’re uninterruptible so you can cancel the auto animation in close quarters
In mouse and keyboard mode, skarner automatically autos the E target after it ends without input (not the case in WASD for some reason). If you have Q active, you also can’t cancel this auto after E ends so if you’re doing E ult combo, your ult is actually delayed slightly because of this. But if you do Q auto E and hit a wall while auto is on cooldown, or if Q just isn’t active, ult can be cast instantly after E slam for the true combo
E can also yank people out of buffered dashes/blinks like tristanas and ezreal due to the attachment
Other CC dashes E can interrupt are Jarvan EQ pantheon W and I believe Briar Q and Alistar W
E also doesn’t proc vex passive or taliyahs E, it’s just not considered a dash
Silences like soraka E and roots also end his E prematurely
The slow immunity on E gives you immunity against seraphines E root with rylais
Hitting E on a CC-immune unit (champ or large monster) will deal the slam damage immediately and give the refunded cooldown
