Is PsuedoRandomness still a Crit Mechanic?

KAAAAAAAYN DO··1 votes·375 views

Having a huge discussion about the existance of psuedo randomness as a crit mechanic (longer you go without a crit the chance you get one goes up) and about the existance of true RNG in the game. We need a Red to confirm or deny this or just enlighten us on how it works. Please!

That's how it works.

So if you're a level 1 Tryndamere with a full rage bar (40% crit) and you go two or even three autos without a crit.. real randomness wouldn't care about the past outcomes.. but in this game you're very very likely to start seeing some crits after that. You can use this knowledge to your advantage if you play Tryndamere in lane. For everyone else it doesn't really amount to anything.

But this same psuedo randomness prevents RNG lucky crit montages from going up on youtube every once in a while where for example getting 5 crits in a row with a brawler's glove (10%)

Oh it's not that I don't believe in it, it's that the people I'm talking about it with don't trust it when the only official source I have is from 2011. They need a more recent confirmation from a Red

Riot never bothered to reexplain it because they settled that question long ago. Tell them to provide evidence or probable suspicion of a change. Do they have any defensible reason to think Riot changed shit? If so, let them justify/prove that. You have a source and they don't. Impetus in on them now.

You may find a red discussing it around the time of the Ashe rework. As I remember, that may have been when they talked about the future of crit and how they wanted it to be more of a stat that every adc would want, and why they did not want to change it to an ashe-like system because tbat removed "big moments".
