Skarner’s Terrific Dance Emote in League of Legends
Skarner’s rework went live in League of Legends with Patch 14.7 on April 3. Since then, players have been enjoying the new iteration of the scorpion-like champion, and they’ve recently discovered his terrific emote.
As expected, Skarner not only had his abilities and appearance updated, but also his emotes. On April 9, Reddit user jackbbya123 shared a post about the champion’s dance emote, which is a dance from the song and popular internet meme Crab Rave. And, just like us, the players love it.
In a short video posted on social media, jackbbya123 compared Skarner’s new dance with the crabs’ dance in Crab Rave, syncing them up perfectly. The reaction from players has been overwhelmingly positive. One player exclaimed, “Dear God… it’s beautiful,” while another added, “I was expecting the crab rave song. My expectations have been fulfilled.”
Crab Rave, released by Monstercat in 2018, was created by Noisestorm. Monstercat is a platform that features many house and EDM artists who share their creations through Monstercat’s YouTube and other channels. Despite its goofiness, Crab Rave quickly captured viewers’ attention, and with Skarner’s rework, League of Legends developers truly hit the bullseye.
Skarner is currently quite popular in League of Legends, attracting attention from both veterans and newcomers to the game. However, his win rate is currently disastrous. According to U.GG, he has accumulated a horrible 41.17 percent win rate in Emerald+ at the time of writing.
This isn’t surprising, as many reworked and new champions often prove to be either too weak or too strong when they hit the Summoner’s Rift. Skarner has already received a micropatch to address his abysmal win rate, and further changes are expected in Patch 14.8.
With Skarner’s terrific dance emote and ongoing adjustments to his gameplay, players are eagerly exploring the new possibilities he brings to League of Legends.
