@Rito, why are you nerfing IE?

I am actually fine with removing 5% critical chance from Infinity Edge to rein the power of ADCs, but why did you add it on to Phantom Dancer?

Sure, it might make certain ADCs who currently run Static Shiv chose PD instead; however, overall it is not that much of a loss for them since either item is viable. What this change does impact are the builds of mADCs such as Tryndamere, Gankplank, and Yasuo whose kits PD does not compliment. In the case of Gankplank and Yasuo, they do not need more AS as they already get enough of it from other items for their abilities. As for Tryndamere, he cannot afford to build this item early on since it does not provide much damage.

So please, for the sake of equality add 5% crit chance to Static Shiv. If that is too far of a stretch, just give these champions 5% more base crit (10% for Yasuo) or make the buffed SS melee only.

Thanks for reading.

Phantom Dancer was the one that was more intended to be the melee item

Ranged doesn't need to move thru units as much as melee does

you mean, Stattik Shiv is already much more preferred than Phantom Dancer so let's keep it that way?
