Having ADC be RNG crit based with the early IE just feels bad....

It means a lot of fights in bot-lane turns into who gets more crits which does nothing for gameplay expect create a feeling of futility. I'm not sure what the problem was with the early BT rush that needed it nerfed but at least when you got into a fight it usually went to who landed more skill shots and positioned better and less on who rolls the dice better.

Rush bt, you win 75% of lanes it's rushed in vs ie. The other 25% they get a crit. The sustain is way underrated.

I agree with you 100% right here. Bot lane fights seem to be full of crits.

Although this has been a popular complaint i don't really see a way around this.. My only real opinion on the matter is there are TOO MANY items that grant crit chance.. Perhaps ... As many will rage of this comparison, but only have one crit item like dota 2... Or at least fewer...

You want crit or a similar mechanic to act as an extra multiplier and make an AA based build workable, but you can fill in the same role with a "%damage increase on AA" stat (going to call it crit2 for the moment) instead of a rng function. The three main casualties of such a change would be yasou, shiv and IE, would need to rework their passives (ie could go to %extra crit2, yas would probably end up with a reworked %extra crit2 passive, shiv would probably end up similar to shen's passive, procing every x seconds and reduced by attacking, and would need rebalancing with PD), I know a few of the alternate map items also interact with crits but don't really have good ideas for them. Crit animations should be recycled into spell blade animations, sure that its possible to work them into a few other cases as well if you want to preserve them. No RNG, but the same multiplier effect.

you don't even need IE. Zeal does the job exceptionally well.

land a crit?! OKAY CHASE TIME. talk about the best overloaded crit RNG item.

I.E. still doesn't do a thing for you if you rushed it, against a bruiser or an assassin. Whereas BT might save you against a bruiser or an assassin.

Well, its a good thing that adcs have more than just IE by the time assassins and bruisers are even seen bot lane

Not in my division they aren't. I generally have seen everybody on the enemy team by the time I can farm a B.F. sword. My next item is generally a sightstone, so I see them coming from a mile away and run to safety.
