While the Phantom Dancer description says it allows the wearer to "dodge **all **critical strikes", when Akali spell crits, no damage is prevented.
Either the spell should be dodged or the Phantom Dancer description updated to exclude spells.
ApollyonBainer1 votesIts just for auto crits
thefance1 voteswhy does akali's spell crit anyways. Is it just RNG like auto crits? or maybe it crits when the target is below a certain HP threshold?
Thefrostyviking2 votesIts entirely random.
Thefrostyviking1 votesPhantom dancer only blocks auto attack crit damage, provided the enemy doesnt have rapidfire cannon.
For spells, AKA abilities, you want .....was it called dragons claw? Reduces such damage by like 80%.
Stray Kat1 votesI've had it block Kha's spells on isolated targets(Counts as a critical spell hit), so maybe it only blocks single targets? Doesn't Akali's hit multiple?
Either way all for making it more clear.
thefance1 votesJust a theory, but Rengar's ability scales with AD, and is perhaps therefore considered an empowered autoattack. If true, I'd imagine that Khazix's spell works similarly.
Stray Kat1 votesKha's is shown as spell damage when it hits though(Differently colored from physical damage), only reason I'd be unsure as to whether or not they interact the same way.
Though I have almost no experience running Rengar, and Kha's DOES just look like an enhanced auto attack - So maybe it IS just coded in a slightly strange way.
Then again, it's all based off of the framework that League already had here - It's known for having goofy interactions once in awhile.
IamButtFumble1 votesBut the question is whether a "strike" is considered an "spell". I don't think PD is meant to block abilities, only ranged and melee attacks - in which case the item is functioning fine. An ability that has a critical multiplier is different than a melee or ranged strike that has a critical multiplier.
