It seems like all the new crit changes just nerfed adcs by making the requirement for 100 crit 4 items instead of 3 and buffed yasuo because he still only needs 2...

Seems that way to me too because of item 3095 changes. That item made crits sure, but at the cost of of %chance item. It was less RNG and more burst, but at least ADCs were critting. Now it's just back to RNG and I don't even see a reason to build item 3095 anymore.

These crit changes wouldn't be a bad thing if games were longer, but they're like 4 seasons too late.

well they had 4 items at 100% before since there first item was never a crit item.

You don't NEED 100% crit chance to be effective. In many situations, 50-75% is enough.

The point of these changes was to increase the early-mid game power of ADCs by letting them reach a big power spike in two items (IE/ER + Zeal upgrade) rather than three, making it viable to build the AD crit items early for when AD nets you more damage than attack speed, while also giving them a defensive option that isn't off-build.
