How to fix crit for ADCs

Right now, critical strikes seem to be a major issue, some people want to keep it and other people want it gone. Since critical strikes are so important in two champion's kits, IE Yasuo and Jhin, it's unlikely Riot is gonna flat out remove critical strikes. However, I think there is a solution.

The reason ADC's build crit is to increase their DPS, not their burst damage. However, when melee champions build crit, it's for burst value, so the simple answer is, give ADC's the Yasuo treatment. As in, ranged champions only get a 150% critical instead of the 200% crit, but unlike Yasuo they don't get the double critical bonus as since they are ranged they have safety that Yasuo doesn't have.

By doing this, champions like Gangplank who use their critical for burst damage aren't impacted, but champions like Tristana and Twitch who at current are doing ludicrous amounts of damage that has almost assassin levels of burst with their criticals will no longer be able to burst down entire teams.

"ADC's have the safety Yasuo doesn't."

He can completely delete all projectiles for like 4 seconds. He has a "free" shield that refreshes when he ults and he can dash every like .3 seconds granted if he has anything to dash to. It's so easy to take out an ADC it's almost sad. Maybe not Tristana, Xayah, or Twitch but I don't think that calls for a nerf of a crucial gameplay mechnic. I also don't agree that Yasuo gets crit to increase his burst. He does it to increase his DPS. Actually I don't know any champion that builds crit for burst other than Jhin, Gangplank and Garen sometimes. Basically everyone else buys it for DPS.

With those 3 champions I still don't think it's a problem with crit or DPS. It's more their kit and what you do against it. I think it's more a question of why are these ADC's able to this damage while still being safe. Xayah has an untargetable and is arguable pretty mid to high range. Twitch and Tristana are Very high range and has some sort of mobility CD reset. They also have hard CC minus Twitch. I think the problem is more with their kits rather than the items they buy. I don't think crit needs to be nerfed or reworked. Maybe just reimagine their kits.

" Yasuo and Jhin"

Don't forget the other interactions with crit, being Ashe the most notorious one, also MF ultimate and Xayah E.
