@Riot, after flat armor pen and lethality builds became the norm for several carries...

Has it redefined your thinking that perhaps crit can one day be worked out of the game? I realize it's something that couldn't be done in one patch. Hell, a change like that probably requires an entire offseason dedicated to just that change alone. So I'm not expecting it now or soon but I genuinely am curious.

I was always of the belief that crit was needed for ADCs to DPS down tanks but for some adcs, we've seen that to not be the case. And I like that, I would much prefer a steady, more consistent source of damage at all stages of the game than pseudo RNG - obviously numbers would need to be tweaked accordingly. This would also require champs with crit being innately parts of their kits to have changes. Maybe you don't see crit as a problem, I certainly see it as less desirable than other potential sources. Naturally that's subjective tho..

(Tl;dr because I tend to ramble) So in short, having seen that ADCs can function without crit, have you considered or discussed the possibility of removing crit and balancing adcs and crit champions around a new stat?
