Critical Strikes Items in 8.11

When I was bored today i decided to look at the new patch on Bot lane since I main adc and i was somewhat alarmed to find that Critical Builds are being Nerfed.

Im a fairly new player (Started when Zoe came out) so I can only use my main in ranked (I an silver V) - Caitlyn. As all of you guys know Caitlyn tends to depend on Criticals and we like to build Infinity Edge... Well IE doesnt give Crit anymore but doubles it and all critical strike items cost more (zeal is now 1300).

SO here is the question should I still depend on criticals or learn to build differently?

Sorry if any of my information was said wrong, I am fairly new and I am just trying to get help from the community.

Thanks*[slayer-jinx-catface]*

EDIT: Also what should I build differently if I have to and what champs should I used?

you can't build something else than crit on cait you can try at best, to build stormrazor into IE+RFC but that's it the standart IE+double zeal item got nerfed into oblivion

cait and xayah got hit the hardest with those changes other adcs will build item 3153

Try picking up Twitch. He's pretty easy, long as you can farm and position yourself to not die while getting off as many basic attacks with ult through as many people as possible. He also really likes the buffs to BoRK.

This is a good thing tho. Crit + LS basically breaks the game. This is why Yasuo is so toxic.

Crit is still there you just have to build differently.
