A critical debate (with poll)
There is still debate on whether or not critical strikes should be removed from LOL. After this thread here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/sZyj0PgV-years-of-remove-crit-from-the-game-riot-makes-crit-much-more-imperative? I decided, heck why not create an end all debate as to whether or not crit can be healthy for the game. Now personally I think Crit should have been removed alongside Dodge so I will be starting off this debate by making a list of all my opinions as to why crit doesn't belong in LOL.
Please try to provide solutions and counter-arguments to the problems I put in my list. I welcome all constructive comments which add to the discussion, but please revert from using logical fallacies* and also please call me out on my own. So let's begin with the list and try to reach a solid conclusion on the topic of crit.
-
Between 0% and 100% crit chance, you cannot balance crit a. Without a guarantee of crit, champions can be both underpowered and overpowered at the same time b. In laning phase, critical strikes can win the lane for you c. It allows less skilled players to win over more skilled opponents
-
You cannot place an accurate gold value on crit a. Crit items maybe either be more or less gold efficient than their listed value b. The lower your crit chance is, the higher the value of a critical strike
-
Crit doesn't belong in LOL because it is RNG and LOL is a skill-based game~ a. Crit is a non-skill factor in a skill based game, fine for luck based games, not skill based ones b. We are here to improve upon our skill, and Crit devalues skill by providing an extreme power spike out of either players control c. Dodge was removed for being RNG and was there to help counter crit
