@RiotScruffy: Need your opinion again for my pure-magic marksman

Mikoto, the Shrine Maiden of Ionia

I've been getting some suggestions regarding her passive, and I'd like an expert opinion.

#Current passive

Mikoto’s basic attacks deal magic damage instead of physical damage, but cannot critically strike. Each 1% in critical chance instead gives Mikoto 1% penetration against bonus magic resistance (this includes MR from runes, masteries, items, and buffs), up to a cap of 30%.

Some people have said that this might make her damage too hard to counter, so this alternative was suggested.

Mikoto’s basic attacks deal magic damage instead of physical damage, but cannot critically strike. Each 1% in critical chance/critical damage instead adds 0.X% of Mikoto's AD to her basic attacks as bonus magic damage.

Which do you think would be more suitable for a marksman? Note that in either event, I'm having her ultimate provide her with a large amount of MPen against enemies that are in a zone she creates.

We need magic + crit chance items then.

I think it is an AD champion dealing magic damage with AAs.

Woops my bad. So it's a passive that does magic damage, but scales off AD?

Precisely!

The idea is that presently every Champion in the game has at least a physical component to their autoattack, even if they also have an on-hit proc that does magic (i.e. Orianna, Teemo, etc.). But in my Champion's case, her autoattack is entirely magic, with no physical damage attached.

Unfortunately, that means she can't crit, as magic-damage-crits would be broken.

You're name is ironic to my idiotic comment.

No. No. again No. ap abilities already do so much dmg. crit would be overkill.

I just got confused. I thought he was saying passive scaled off of ability power. Yes Crit would be overkill. I mean just look at the ADC's. They're already overkill with that %max hp true damage AND crit
