Shifting the Critical on MF's Q to overall buff crit builds

Busty Demoness·May 2, 2017·1 votes·291 views

So I like the overall changes to MF's Q to reduce Lethality's power while also making Crit more viable. However, I think there's a change we can make that would better empower critical builds.

Shift the Normal Critical Chance from the bounce to the primary target.
bounce will critically strike if the first shot kills or is a critical strike, cannot crit any other time

What this does is encourage the kill shots early for poke, since the bounce cannot crit without a kill shot. It also encourages critical builds to have the early crit because of the potential double critical. In addition, critical builds will have flat AD for their Marks/Quints, so the payoff for the critical will still be stronger than Lethality would get.

It would also help live up to the skill's name "Double Up", where you take a chance and it can pay off even more.

btw I don't think bumping works on these forums

Anyway, I don't think giving the crit a 250% AD ratio instead of 200% is a good idea. Her Q poke already does a shit load of damage, and this would buff her Lethality build as well, which it doesn't need.

Depends on the view settings.

And while Lethality would benefit, it would benefit less than a crit build.

Huh, didn't know that.

And I don't think Lethality MF is in a huge need of buffs. When I played Gunblade MF mid my Q crits already did a shit ton of damage.

I'm not looking to buff Lethality in general. It has to happen either way in this case with this particular shift. I was looking more to empower crit builds a bit more and I feel that this change does that (even though there is a slight buff to Lethality too).

I think just letting the first shot of Double Up crit is enough, lets go slowly here. MF's laning is already super strong.

Adjusted.

What if the second shot is guaranteed to crit on both kill shot and first shot crit instead of simply increasing the critical damage?

I think that'd be great.
