OPINION: Crit isn't THE problem with adcs

This may be a hard pill to swallow but the problem isn't so much just crit being a 200-250% of your auto attack. I put the blame more on items in general.

For me when i am on a full add comp or going against, for me there is little that armor does for absorbing AD dmg. Not only that bur almost every game you have one AD champ getting item 3071. Not saying that BC is a bad thing but it makes armor act like paper.

Really the problem that I think is prevalent is the lack of items like item 3143 where it has a built in crit reduction passive. This item is the first of its kind and well there should be more of it. There should be a support tank item like this where in an area around you allies get some sort of crit reduction. Also there should be a mage type crit reduction with armor as well (might interfere with item 3157). Also for tanks there should be more than just one item that helps reduce crit, for me right now if there's a Yasuo and a crit adc and i am a tank I am trying to rush item 3143 as fast as possible and well it doesn't make me consider wisely if this is the item i want for my team.

Also I am also shifting the blame that crit items are cheaper than last year meaning that crit biased adcs are spiking earlier than everyone else making them the "assassin" class. Before the only problem of adc's one shotting was in the late game or when then the champ was fed.

TLDR: there's not enough items like item 3143 and bring the price back up for crit items.

Tl'dr: Crit isn't the problem it is actually BC + crit itemization.

######Doesn't that mean crit is the problem...

The problem is Crit and the items that are Crit. It's just a fact that Crit items are so criminally cheap for a class that is defined by it's items and often being given the resources to gather all the gold for those items. Especially doesn't help the class that their itemization options are some of the best in the game with the most variety and options.

Besides Crit is a very bad stat for league at least in the way it functions overall. It needs work, we don't need to create items to bandaid fix the problem like Grevious Wounds do with healing.
