02:42

unlike with old scarner Al in this case

02:44

enemies are pretty much attached to him

02:46

you cannot do 180ยฐ turn to change their

02:49

position like you were able to do before

02:52

and yes scarner enemies can be pulled

is's in his old flashing during your old

03:02

in all scarner is definitely going to

03:10

excel at controlling team fights with

03:12

his amazing crowd control he also has a

03:15

very unique engage thanks to his e so

03:17

you can definitely try some sneaky
