Will Phantom Dancer be the new Yasuo rush?

Now that Statikk loses it's gold generation and is only a little cheaper, plus phantom dancer has that great defensive buff, which even synergizes into the Crit Healz mastery.

So PD and Cloak, then maybe a Tiamat to replace the wave-clear and start getting your AD. I might even go just full defense after that because I like playing Bruisers, and Yasuo could maybe be a good CC bot (unless my team needs even more damage for some reason).

Could be. That is...

If we could buy the fekkin' thing.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, it's certainly not a bad item on Yasuo, you could still be viable if you rushed it first, but Shiv just synergizes too well with Yasuo, and in fact it somehow manages to be even better now than it was before. Meanwhile PD's first passive is of minimal use to Yasuo and while the damage reduction is nice, it's just not nearly enough to make up for not having Shiv.

oh, because his 100% crits the Shiv effect too? I guess that's cool... I don't know, I like survival

The extra target per proc is also super good, you wouldn't think it would be that much of a difference but try it and you'll see how significant it is.

I ran some tests and it doesn't seem that Warlord heals from static criticals

i'll test them both and see
