I 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.

Yea, 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.

You 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.

Eh...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.
