Make PD more interactive.
NOTE: This is basically whatever came to mind as I was typing. I have a lot of strong feelings about PD and other items with % Damage Reduction. I think I made a good point somewhere in here and maybe a cool concept for a rework of the item.
I'm cool with having a Duellist AD Carry item, but 12% damage reduction just because you auto-attacked someone?
If you want 12% to be the magic number, make it something like 12% of the damage you take turns into a shield after a few seconds. This way assassins can still... assassinate. Right now ADC's finish PD and basically have an on-hit exhaust against whatever they deem to be an immediate threat.
At one point I was abusing Vayne by getting
as my boots,
as my AS-Crit item and
as my defensive item AND I WAS HUNTING DOWN F*CKING ASSASSINS.
I almost believe % damage reduction should be exclusive to champion kits. They're pretty toxic items. Challenging smite has been cancerous this season on champions like
.
Like I said, I like the concept of an AS-Crit item based around duelling, but the current iteration of Phantom Dancer is a very lazy implementation of that idea.
