I disagree. PD and Statikk shiv is a different case, where at the begining of the season PD was given an unstackable passive, which made retarded buying more than one, thus making necessary another item similar to it, and given that Ionic spark was removed at the same time PD got it's passive, Statikk shiv was born for those who preffer two AS+Crit item over pure AD on their carries. It is not a "same nature, just lower stats" case, but rather a "If we make this change without giving people a second choice, they're going to be pissed".

While in this case, MoM can be used by any AD champ, independently of being a bruiser, a carry or an assassin, while Spellbreaker, due it's crit nature, is going to be a carry item. What is more, given that it is going to be released at the same time of Yi's rework, it shows that Riot cares again about melee ADCs, and probably this, paired with a Ninja tabi, will be enough to give them all the defensive stats that most of them need. Again, It is neither a "same nature, just lower stats" case.
