Phantom Dancer

New Recipe: [Dagger + Zeal + Brawler&#039;s Gloves + 700]
Cost lowered from 2700 to 2600
    [Due to change in cost of Zeal]
Attack Speed lowered from 45% to 30%
Critical strike lowered from 30% to 25%
Unique Passives changed:

** [New] Unique Passive - Spectral Waltz: Basic attacking a champion grants ghosting and 7% Movement Speed for 2 seconds. [New] Unique Passive - Lifeline: If you would take damage that would reduce your Health below 30%, gain a shield that absorbs up to 240 - 600 damage for 2 seconds. (90 second cooldown)**

You are literally going to force every AD to buy this first item because of the shield and self kiting.

Also. get this shit out of here, Yasuo doesnt need to be any more frustrating to kill.

You realize current item 3046 has a permanent ghosting effect while near an enemy?

Isn't this more like nerf for Yasuo Tryndamere that 12% dmg reduction was good.

It's just a Hexdrinker passive in place of the 12% damage reduction...Not really an outright buff...

Considering a shield works for everyone and its previous iteration worked for just one champion... Its a buff for anything but duels. The fact riot is going through with these crit changes is beyond disgusting. Zeal items were in a good place, IE was in a good place... Crit itemization just lacked 20% crit+AD options, forcing marksmen to go with a 4 item core. Riot doesnt even understand WHY crit is toxic, apparently.

Isn't that the exact reason you bought pd though?

Generally speaking you bought PD because its one of the best tools for crit-based melee carries to both stay in range and win trades.
This change will still keep it in line with that, but... Its going to be "the marksman lifeline item". Imagine the new PD combined with enchanter supports and lifesteal. Its going to be awful.

I mean If you used your noggin, you would realize that the entire reason why marksmen feel bad right now is because they dont have a reasonable core item set. I went over this in another thread a few weeks ago that you didnt read; They need a 3 item core of AD+crit, Zeal, and IE. Instead of a 4 item core of storm razor+zeal+zeal+IE.

because they are to lazy to deal with mages/assasins/divers doing 2 x the adcs hp as burst damage
