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 item 3047 as my boots, item 3046 as my AS-Crit item and item 3143 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 Graves Elise Nidalee.

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.
