Statikk Shiv is also great for Trynd and Ashe, and on whoever that's considering building a second PD. It's nonsensical to buy a non-stackable passive twice. Actually the highest reward of building Statikk is how cheap it actually becomes if you don't stop farming your Avarice blade. Sometimes I've farmed even around 1700 gold with it just with minion kills, making me just pay 800 gold for 40% AS 20% crit 6% MS and the on-hit damage.

That said, Runaan's also has a really short range of usefulness. Twitch and Corki may use it for multi-targeting their true dmg, and maybe AP Kog and Teemo in order to hit everyone with their magic on-hit dmg. The item itself offers low synergy with other items, besides the Statikk shiv affinity. With some Doran's blade you may heal for up to 60 health per AA, but that's more for an early advantage. With TBC, Muramana and BotRK you can spread triple TBC stacks per hit, but why doing that when you should be the carry and not the bruiser/AD caster?

The biggest problem Runaan's has is that the items that had more synergy with it were removed prior to it's introduction, or are going to be removed. Building Malady (Which ironically is going to be removed) and Wit's end is great for multitarget damage, since Runaan's passive can't reduce on-hit damage and procs it. So, Ionic spark (Although it would've needed a tweak, given how fast Runaan's can charge it) and Madred's bloodrazor could have been more synergistic/cheaper than their S3 counterparts Statikk shiv and BotRK. Just imagine how Lulu could've hit with Berserker's+Runaan's+Malady+Wit's end+Spark+Bloodrazor.

On the other hand, Statikk shiv at least is synergistic with crit chance.
