Clarity for Infinity Edge

Infinity Edge's unique passive is misleading. It does not do exactly what it says "UNIQUE Passive: Critical hits deal 250% damage instead of 200%." This is ONLY true when you have a critical damage of 200%.

I cannot tell you how many people think this multiplies critical damage by 1.25.

I think IE should say "UNIQUE Passive: Critical hits deal +50% damage." or "UNIQUE Passive: Critical hits deal +50% damage. (Normal Critical hits will now deal 250% damage)"

This will really help new players understand how IE interacts with Yasuo, Ashe, and runes.

but it does multiply critical hits with 1.25 ...

That is also treue for Ashe and Yasuo.

Critical damage is additive not multiplicative, meaning it adds 50% to the 200% instead of multiplying the 200% by 1.25.

This is specifically why Infinity Edge needs to me worded better.
