Before you over-react to the crit changes on PBE, I have a few things to mention

ADCs got hit by nerfs to their base stats in 8.11, making them more vulnerable
Fleet footwork's healing on minions also got hit in 8.11, making point 1 more impactful
IE DOES NOT grant 150% crit damage anymore
Statik shiv's burst damage was already toned town a while back
IE is getting AD and true damage conversion taken off

I seriously don't get why people are over-reacting so hard to these changes. It'll allow adcs to come online and play league of legends, but also not have a free laning phase(base stat nerfs+ fleet footwork nerfs) as well as not being as strong later (no 150% crit damage). Yes, I do realize that a lot of people on the boards are extremely anti-ADC, but at least try to be reasonable.

Even the anti adc players should be glad about these changes, no longer do they have to worry AS MUCH when the enemy adc hits late game, they are slightly weaker now but they get to play the game sooner than they normally do.

Riot is finally treating adcs as a regular class of champions with their own unique scaling rather than ALL late game because of their itemization.

before you underestimate those buffs,

adc are currently perfectly viable and make 8 out of the 10 strongest bot lane picks this patch. 4 of them are crit marksmen.
the "lategame nerf" is irrelevant, because according to adc mains themselves, games dont go into lategame anymore. and their current lategame is already stronger than adc lategame pre crit item changes (this was part of the deal for a later power spike, that they DID receive). so after that 10 ad loss on i.e. their lategame is still stronger than before 8.11. even with that tiny scratch off their lategame, theyre still massive past 30 minutes
the 5% crit reduction of zeal items looks like a damage nerf, when its a massive damage buff due to the ability to stack 100% crit with double zeals + i.e. without overcapping, current crit builds dont break 60% due to cost inefficiency of 120% crit chance
double zeals + i.e. is 1000 gold cheaper with these buffs and back to being cheaper than any other carry itemization in the game
adc have already received large kit buffs after the initial itemization changes

this is literally another marksmen/bot lane wins games meta in the making.

we had a relatively balanced marksmen class for 3 fucking patches between 8.11 and 8.14 before they pull the trigger and throw us into another adc meta. are you fucking kidding? other classes have been left to ROT for entire seasons at a time, with actually no play rate. im not just talking about that they have to share their lanes and are still playable what marksmen are crying about, but actually no play at all.

People just love to overreact. They're not bringing back "better ADC wins" they're trying to make ADCs come alive sooner instead of at the 30-35th minute

They over react because they lack the brains to actually think and till a pro says it's not broken they will keep bitching about adc's.
