''its more viable to build PD on him than trynyty,too many fucking wasted stats dude. ''

Eh...no. Not really.

Phantdom Dancer offers Renekton movespeed and a bit of attack speed...that's it.

He isn't a crit-focus champ, so the biggest draw of PD is a total waste, he doesn't want nor need much attack speed since he's skill-based (and NOT a melee carry; Renekton has ZERO AD/AS steroids to get him started, so building hypercarry on him is only going to end in disaster) so that's a bit wasted too.

Trinity Force...it's bad on him, but not so bad as to be irredeemable; it's ALMOST usable.

Wasted stats? Eh, that doesn't stop other champs from using it. Lee Sin made great use out of Trinity Force because he can actually abuse Super-Sheen, and really wants everything but the mana and crit. The only thing he gets more use out of compared to Renekton is the AP, and it's not that much AP anyway.

The problem with Triforce on Renekton is cost and timing.

Renekton's cooldowns are just a BIT too high to abuse sheen properly, though he otherwise loves the effect due to his reliance on skills and his high base damage. So no early Sheen. (Lee Sin sometimes rushes Sheen just for the added punch. It synergizes THAT WELL with his kit)

Renekton loves Phage. Period. That's a go.

Zeal is sort of a waste since it's just Phantom Dancer Lite, but the movespeed buff on the full Triforce is always welcome on melee. But Renekton isn't Master Yi. He doesn't rush Zeal.

The rest of the stats are useless, or near-useless.

But the big problem is the cost; Triforce is a high-density item. You get all of these effects lumped into one package. Out of all of them: Phage+Movespeed is the biggest draw here, competing with the extra life on Frozen Mallet. Yet when you get right down to it isn't much better compared to Triforce; it's just a better deal because it doesn't cost so damn much, and it provides more instant-gratification.

Renekton has a gap-closer, but movespeed is ALWAYS good on melee champs. ALWAYS. You can't use your gap-closer to roam, and Renekton has far more pressing matters for his choice of boots (Merc's, Ionian, even Tabi) to even consider Swiftness or Mobility.

A pity it isn't found on more items that Renekton can use without paying extra for. Force of Nature is the only other real candidate.
