If it is, i thought Riot wanted to remove RNG elements from league. The only time crit isn't RNG is when you have 100% crit chance right? I feel like crit needs to be removed or reworked. It makes some fights in bot lane feel really unfair sometimes. I feel like its really strong since it gives marksmen a 150% increase since the almost always build infinity edge. Any thoughts on the subject of crit?
Espy Psyche3 votesSort of.
It starts out as being pure RNG on first attack (your first attack has X% chance to crit, where X = your critical strike chance).
If that attack does NOT crit, your critical strike chance is increased by some Y. This continues to increase until you crit, and Y scales off X. The higher X is, the higher Y is, so your crit chance goes up faster if you start higher. This is to prevent bad RNG from screwing over the marksman/melee carry building crit.
If the first attack DOES crit, your critical strike chance goes DOWN by some Z. Z is lower as you increase in critical strike chance, because you're supposed to crit more with higher crit chance. These equalize back to having X% when the opposite result occurs (critting after not critting, or not critting after critting).
Y = 0 when X = 0. Z = 0 when X = 100. The actual formulas probably involve a sine or a cosine, as such:
Y = A * sin(NX) + B Z = C * cos(NX) + D
where A, B, C, D, and N are constants.
It's better than straight RNG because it's less RNG-heavy. It equalizes to whatever X your crit chance is statistically over a few attacks, not a few dozen.
Memeguel4201 votesThanks for clearing that up for me. I thought it was complete RNG which is why I felt it was broken.
