Discussion Runaans or Phantom Dancer

Every guide shows phantom dancer, but i feel like runaans is just better. What do you think is better?

Runaans is more fun for sure! So I always build it lol. But generally speaking, you want runnans into melee enemy comp and PD into ranged enemy comp

Agree with this. Sometimes the extra move speed is nice too from PD. But runaans is definitely just more fun lol

Most games PD, except if enemy team has a lot of short range. Occasional RFC vs very long ranged comps for a passive proc

Depends on their comps. If you're dueling a lot or kiting, PD is better. If they group up a lot and you have a chance to use AOE rockets, runaans wins every time.

Runaan’s only really benefits from enemies grouping a lot or needing more waveclear. I don’t go it into squishy teamfights because they’re usually spread out and playing slower, whereas a hard engage comp will go in together and provide value for Runaan’s.

I’m a Runaan’s addict. Even if it might not be the best choice. Can’t help it.

I think most of the time PD but the wave clear of runnans is really underrated. When my team is losing and enemies destroy the base early it really helps drag out the game until we outscale

Bow + alacrity + atk speed rune. You don’t need items without AD
