Only abilities originally balanced around crit should ever crit, unless the crit value is lowered to like 50%-60%. (video credit to Vandiril) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FklWuUPu84Y
(3-24) PSA : This was reverted so no nuking with her W.
tXQbsPrjN55 votesI like how this has to be explained to the balance team, because they can't fathom this themselves without putting it on the PBE. What? A 500 base 3 ad ration 2000 range spell shouldn't exist in the game? I don't know I think we need to test it out and see.
LordBrasca2 votesProblem is, if that thing crits so much and you also get slowed, it will be extremely hard for you to dodge the incoming ult.

XD its like a pre-rework 
that hits even except it hits even harder, slows and reveals, while also doing long range aoe 800 damage autos and/or crazy attack speed auto with a global ulti and a snare.
I was under the assumption riot had an internal test team before the put stuff on pbe... APPARENTLY i was wrong.
Papa Andrei2 votesThey said they will not be shipping it and its part of further testing, they wanted community feedback
Chembaron Yamada3 votesThe damage may be too high but the general idea is good. I like that riot is introducing new crit interactions in marksmen kits. They scale better than everyone else in the game with it that way, just like tanks scale with HP or armor/mr.
So I hope they will reduce the extra crit damage and then ship that change.
Papa Andrei2 votesI feel like it is simply number fiddling now, like scale the crit/ad ratio with Jinx's level or crit chance.
Ahristocats2 votesunless the crit value is lowered to like 50%-60%.
what a coincidance, this is what they plan to do
K626 Lacrimosa2 votesI mean, the crit is a good idea for a up, but the values are just currently too high that's all.
Oelyk1 votesThat felt... so weird... I mean normally you just dodge that because it's a pain to be slowed... but a long range DEATH THREAT? Whew! I've been around sense Jinx release and that's really something aint it.
Shuyin1781 votesHonestly I think her W is now more scary than her ult if you're in range for it.
Irelia Bot1 votesThe best part is the other team having someone named "ADC in 2017 lol"
grug1 votesryze empowered overload is a spell crit, thought this was a ryze thread lul
Shuyin1781 votesRyze's Overload only gets that font with his empowered damage, same with Anivia's E. It's not an actual crit.
TeCoolMage1 votesOnly abilities originally balanced around crit should ever crit, unless the crit value is lowered to like 50%-60%.
or if the base damage and scaling is lowered. It just needs some changes with how the damage scales over time
Also, worst clickbait title ever
This is why you don't buff things They were balanced this way, they should never be buffed unless they get nerfed first
zlumpy1 votesRight? I was expecting some crazy Anivia shenanigans with actual spell crit!
Yaśuo Main1 votes
pre rework 
that video is honestly as credible as brofresco on balance
Catastrop1 votesI was expecting Anivia/Ryze hell even Karthus, I'm so glad it was none of them. That was hilarious.
Shuyin1781 votesWhy do people keep thinking those champions crit? It's only a font thing to show enhanced damage (Aniva's E when hitting Frosted targets, Ryze when hitting targets with E on them, and Karthus' Q when hitting a solo-target)
Albertoplus2 votesActually, at least since long ago (don't think they changed it) those spells get reduced effect by Randuins.
Rioter even said it was intentional.
Catastrop3 votesActually, that was changed a while back. Randuin's reduces the damage done by those hits so they are in fact crits.
Melledoneus4 votesThey are coded to be crits. Randuins' 10% crit damage reduction reduces the damage of those spells.
Who is Taliyah1 votesbut they didn't heal you with the old warlords mastery If I remember correctly.
Melledoneus2 votesWarlords had two conditions, one being a basic attack.
GULAG 4 U2 votesFull crit damage runes veigar letsgoooo

underscores2221 votesThey still do double damage, so they're basically magic crits.
Anu3isII1 votesMeddler said that the numbers are clearly broken, but they like the direction this change goes, so they will most probably just lower the bonus Damage from Criting W
6Sfool1 votesI like the idea of spells critting, but god is that hard to balance. Plus that spell is already high damage. Things like MF's ult and q critting are great though, it gives her a reason to build crit when otherwise lethality would be the only way.
sobi9991 votesThat is what i call Outplayed!
Falling Ic31 votesshorten the range on it so its not a fully charged xerath Q
Muzét1 votesThe issue isn't the crit. It's the 1.4 AD ratio behind it. Jinx always had a strong W because of this. The crit just point it out even more. I would be glad to see AP to be able to crit sometimes even if it reduced (since it's mostly AoE / DoT)
Ultra Rapid Fyre1 votesits an april fools joke. riot does it every year... did you hit your head too much in your youth?
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesIf only 
soldiers could crit...
At least for this April Fools joke. Would be fun.
