Proposal: Replace Crit with Lethality

What are your thoughts on this change? This would change builds heavily and popularize more items like item 3124 I made some sample items to explain what I mean. They're by no means perfect, and are kind of a draft.

item 3086 Now gives AD: 15 No longer gives crit Now builds from item 1036 item 1042

item 3508 Now gives Cost: 3400 3600 AD: ~~70 ~~ 75 Lethality: 15 CDR: 10% Now builds from item 1037 item 3134 item 3133 No longer gains CDR based on crit chance UNIQUE Passive: Gain 4% bonus movement speed for every 15 lethality (not including the given CDR from this item), up to 8% bonus movespeed. After capping at 8%, you also gain 20% CDR.

item 3031 Now gives Cost: 3400 3500 AD 70 65 Lethality: 15 Now builds from item 1038 item 3134 No longer gives 50% bonus crit damage UNIQUE Passive - Strike: Every basic attack has a 25% chance to deal 40% bonus true damage. 3 second cooldown in between each successful use.

item 3094 Now gives AD: 35 Attack Speed: 30% 45% Now builds from item 1042 item 3086 item 2015 Energized attacks deal 60-140 50-120 bonus magic physical damage. NEW: Energized attacks against structures ignore 30 armor.

item 3087 Now gives AD: 35 Attack Speed: 35% 45% Now builds from item 1042 item 3086 item 2015 Energized attacks deal 60-14050-120 bonus magic physical damage. NEW: If your energized attack is used against a champion, the effect is refreshed up to 3 more times.

item 3085 Now gives AD: 30 Lethality: 15 Now builds from item 3086 item 3134 Now passively deals 10 bonus physical damage on-hit.

item 3046 Now gives AD: 30 Lethality: 15 Now builds from item 3086 item 3134 item 3147 Lethality: 18 15

item 3142 Lethality: 18 15

With appropriate balance changes to these items, they can definitely serve to make the game less RNG based while letting ADC's deal a lot of damage. The items become less about who can crit more and about who's smarter in their item choices.

Jhinfour

Vayne WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK IS THAT DAMAGE

Jhin item 3070 sigh its just not the same without orange

also that 40% bonus true dmg , even if its post mitigation is pretty god damn nasty. That's reducing the damage you need to kill someone by 40%

Hell it would oneshot everyone who didn't invest in cloth armor realestate anyway even if it was post mitigation because of all the lethality you are smoking.

What the hell would be the point of building armor anymore, then?

You would gut Ashe and maybe Sivir too.

Aside from the bonkers 40% true damage thing, it's unclear whose job it is to kill tanks now, which was normally the job of crit building marksmen.

Meanwhile, it's a scary scary world for non-tanks featuring a lot of potential one shot scenarios.

Update: I have been playing without crit all day. I've played Ashe, Jinx, Jhin, Tristana, Lucian and now looking to play someone else. I think this is really healthy and actually really fun.
