Why not take another look into the crit+AD items

For a while we have had marksman that have crit synergy with their spells and generally get one of the zeal items only to round out their crit chance beyond IE+ER and it gives them a cheaper crit spike. Maybe a 3000gold+ modified version of lightbringer that builds off of BF sword. It would offer a third AD+crit item in a similar way that there are at least 3 types of almost every other item type and with another strong passive it offers the chance to lower some of the base stats and in parallel the price of all crit+AD items. Also for IE the passive could be changed to interact with to increase damage in a similar way that jhin. The effect would be much more appreciated earlier in the sense that it is much less tied to the rng of crit.

If we had another Crit/AD item, we would need to balance it so we don't have ADC's going Zeal item, IE, new item, and get 70-80% crit, which may or may not be a problem.

Also keep in mind Yas and Trynd and how they may be affected.

ADCs already reach 70% crit easily. It's really rare for an ADC to not build 3 crit items and some even reach 100% crit chance by building 4 crit items. So ADCs reaching high amounts of crit chance shouldn't be an issue

Really?

I was under the impression that most ADC's went Zeal item + IE + BT + boots somewhere + LDR + GA.

Yeah most people go for 70% crit and then bitch about being oneshot.

There are, without question, too many crit/ias items and not enough crit/ad items.

I would love to see something like Dominion's old Pillager introduced into the game. Builds out of item 1018 item 1037 item 3122 and gives a Bleed effect OnCrit along with a (crit%) chance to inflict that bleed on any damage you deal. If memory serves, Pillager inflicted a magic damage dot over 3 seconds for 240% of your bonus AD.
