Why are crits still a thing...

I was SO happy when I heard they were reworking adcs at the start of preseason 6, it seemed like the only problem with them at all was crits, so that would be the obvious thing to fix. Apparently they don't give a fuck that crits can determine an entire lane which can easily determine an entire game based of off RNG. If anything they just made it worse now that essence reaver gives essentially random mana regen. This would be a problem in any game, but one that you can literally win A MILLION DOLLARS based off of the outcome? That's completely insane that this still exists in the game. It's not even remotely hard to fix either! There are a very small amount of champions that would need to be changed because their kits revolve around crit, but other than that, just make crit increase your auto attack damage by the percentage of crit you have. It's the exact same amount of damage in theory, but fights won't be won because someone got luckier. Crit isn't a huge problem against tanks because it tends to even out more based on just the sheer number of hit they can take before going down, the huge problem is when adcs 1v1 each other. Two or three lucky crits in a row can and almost certainly will determine a fight. I don't know what else to say, it blows my mind that riot can consider their game competitive when crits still exist.

There is a search feature. Riot has already addressed this multiple times.

That's why they haven't done jack shit to fix anything? I could not find a single post that riot actually had anything to say about plan for doing something about crits.

That's because they have no plans to change crit. They've made plenty of posts explaining why though, and if you disagree with their reasoning you should make a post responding specifically to their posts with your rationale for disagreeing.

Because Riot hasn't found a viable alternative to them. They don't like it either.

The only champions I can think of that have crit as an aspect of their kit are yasuo, ashe, and tryndamere. Tryndamere can just get extra ad instead of crit when his fury is high, yasuo can work perfectly fine with the 1% crit - 1% bonus dmg fix, and ashe can just get an increasing slow based on her crit chance. This is the problem with riot, they never update their community on what they are working on. They never updated anyone on the na servers that came out awhile ago PS. Garen e can also crit but that can just be removed.

still rather curious of them to put crit on everything this preseason despite not liking the mechanic...they somehow lack coherency
