Statikk better early game, Phantom better lategame.

Statikk shiv has better AoE power, Phantom Dancer has better single target power.

So it may depend.
Change is gooooood

Depends. I'd have Phantom Dancer on someone like Vayne and Caitlyn and Statikk Shiv on someone like Draven or Ezreal and then there is Miss Fortune, the champion I am always having trouble with when I have to decide which one. Then I go with 5x Bloodthirster and Last Whisper

5 bloodthirsters is always a safe choice *nodnod* :D

ADR? Wut

Shiv is good early game and for splitpushing. Also core on some champions like Tryndamere.

PD is built on almost all ADC and weird builds like double PD Sion.

Both are good items, both shine in certain moments. Basically, early game Shiv, late game PD.

edit: I was too slow, gj

but why would you double pd anymore? sure, shiv isn't as good as pd, but its 300 gold cheaper, builds out of a cash money item, and doesnt give you 2 ignore unit collisions.

kill a single target phantom dancer

your fed buy shiv and a phantom dancer

Er, no. If you're fed, you finish your build faster and win the game.
Thanks to Minho for the sig!

One thing I curse cop said is that you build shiv if you know theres a teamfights coming up and cant afford pd. Some champs are better with shiv than other like ez and mf, ez because he can apply the shiv with his Q and with mf you become a better bully.
