Would the game be better if spells were capable of crits?

I am legit asking this because I have never understood why AD can have critical strikes and in the case of Yasuo gain full crit chance off one item when critical strike in ANY other game is supposed to be a rare thing that builds up slowly. Why can we not have critical spells and critical heals but they happen a lot less often, it would feel ultra rewarding if you landed a spell and it did MR penetrating true damage like Conqueror does at the moment.

Why do only AD champions get these super satisfying plays.

I do say that any crit spell stuff should be kept as far away from Zoe as her awful design is pretty much the sole reason that AP champions cannot have good items at the moment.

crit is a shit idea to begin with. it doesn't feel good to be "outplayed" by a 600 range targeted nuke that crits.

The worst thing is: it's RNG.

You actually have to flip a coin everytime somebody decides to "outplay" your ass.

Certain spells can crit conditionality karthus solo q, anivia frostbitten e, ryze eQ combi. I'd be fine with adding more interactions like these but adding crit as a stat mages need to build doesn't seem the way to go.

Nah terrible idea, most AP champions have a unique spell dealing shit tons of damage in their kit (Xerath Q, Ryze Q, Anivia E, Fizz R, Nidalee Q), adding crit to these would just result in an even more one-shot fiesta

But yet, Assassins can have that no problem and fighters too... Yasuo for example. The game already IS a one-shot fiesta but only for one side at the moment. Extending it to include mages would be far more balanced if this is the direction that League is going in.

Those are empowered spells, they’re just displayed as “crit” for clarity purposes.

No, I'm saying that if these spells were able to crit, it would just turn the game into even more one shot. Imagine a spear crit for 2k from distance, just because yo uwere lucky

Asking for spells to crit would be akin to throwing oil on the fire which is snowball right now.
