Wildturtle vs Sneaky: http://www.gfycat.com/TintedAgileDoctorfish
Wildturtle had 3 straight critical strikes to kill Sneaky. Had the 1st/2nd strike not being crits, the fight may turn out very differently.
NeroUS3 votesI don't think critical strike has a place in league. It doesn't make sense to have a game where RNG elements are carefully isolated and removed from the game made into such an important part of the laning phase and lategame team fights.
It makes more sense to have a continuous partial-crit system where 15% critical strike chance just means you do 15% of a critical strike on each auto attack.
Rhlax1 votesAnother potential solution would be a critical strike/momentum meter. Critical strike happens when the meter reaches 100%. For instance at 15% CS, every 7th attack is crit. At 33%, every 4th attack. At 34%, every 3rd attack.
Lapison1 votesIsn't that almost exactly what Cait has now? Just wondering.
Earl Eulrich3 votesYea, that remaining RNG should really get removed in S5...I mean this will happen at worlds aswell and then decide about a lot more money. Professional esports should be about ingame mechanics and decission-making, not about having more critluck.
http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/live-gameplay/hbEj1jWi-can-we-finally-phase-crits-rngesus-out-of-the-game had been a nice discussion, showing a lot of ways to solve the issue for good.
KSHarrison1 votesI have a feeling we'll need the backlash of it influencing a prominent game before people are willing to see change, Don. And that may not be all Riot's fault, because there's a chance that if they did make a drastic change to crit right now, very many people would be highly upset. I think making a big change in the context of necessity, right after something occurs to show us why it's a necessity, sets community expectations where they need to be. :)
LichMazter2 votesYou can say what you want. But Wildturtle, just used everything provided to him by the game. Also even if TSM lost that teamfight. They had already outscaled C9 at the moment, as balls was extremely behind, while Tristana was hitting a near full build.
Seditious111 votesSpeaking of which, where is the game 5 vod ffs?!!!?!?!?!?!? Very disappointed having gotten up early to watch games 1-3 then had to go to work just after game 4 begins... Thinking all will be ok, I can watch the vods when I get home..... WTF?! Where is game 5? Ty for game 4, but now where is the most important one of them all??????? What has happened to game 5? Please someone tell me where I can watch it now?! Or riot, can you get on this asap and get game 5 back up and running? Desperate. :(
MrBuffington1 votesJust search YouTube, there have been other users that upload the games about half an hour after they finished.
AbiwonKenabi1 votesEh...I definitely see the argument for removing critical strike since its one of the only RNG elements left, but really, its one of the only RNG elements left, so its not like EVERYTHING is luck-based. Luck is extremely fair: it doesn't favor any one person and every champion can get crit chance so its not like only Tristana can crit. He had an IE and a Static Shiv, that's expensive and also pretty dang high crit chance. Besides, Hai got a few good crits as well, picking up the only kill in what would have otherwise been a perfect ace. Other things let to C9's loss here other than those few lucky crits.
