At this point why don't we have AP spell crit?

I mean, AP is almost never played anymore, why not make the game MORE interesting? Don't tell me this wouldn't be balanced, haven't you seen the current state of this game, what game have YOU been playing? The only champions that have this sort of mechanic are Anivia Karthus and Fizz (at least he used to have this). AP builds are too late game focused where you need like 3 items to actually kill something as a mage, it's redundant and almost pointless to even play them. All this season I swear I'm like the only person on my team who is AP and everyone else is AD.

I don't want Lux ultimates to be able to crit.

So no.

What the hell? I have a hard time finding matches with more than 2 AD champions on each team. Mages dominate diamond ranks - you'll frequently see team comps consisting of 4 mages and 1 bruiser, or even 5 mages on one team.

The Ryze, Anivia, Karthus and Fizz thing are to indicate enhanced damage based on a requirement.

Can you seriously imaging Heimer's RW or Veigar's R 'criting' magic damage? The Luden's proc is good enough but randomly ult spells doing ridiculous bonus damage based on luck. That's a little too much.

Your fighting an invalid argument. I see tons of mages nowadays. In a BURST meta. Having AP crit, without means of absorbing it, is like saying "Everyone play a mage or you lose!"

It also depends on what you define as a mage. A ranged champ with entirely ranged spells, or a champion who uses primarily ability power, some ranged spells, and a melee auto attack? Fizz for me still counts as a mage due to a reliance on AP. LB definitely a mage. But I'll still fight against AP crit. I mean why not have ranged spells damage towers at that rate? Its something I dont think is needed.

Assassin: High mobility, High burst; their purpose is to 1 shot 1 guy, although may dish out some aoe damage in the process Burst mage: High burst, Low mobility, Ranged Artillery mage: Very ranged; very low mobility. Usually 1 hard cc ability Battlemage: Ranged, (Only ap i think?), Zoning abilities, Slightly more durable than the others due to more hp and/or shields/kite abilites on their kit
