If ADCs do so much dmg early, why not make crit damage scale with crit %?

Honestly, if you want ADCs to scale, this is a potential solution. They'd be weaker early but would scale well, which seems to be what most ADCs are all about anyway. Say you have 30% crit chance from Runaans, then you get +30% dmg on when you crit. Obviously, the more crit you get as you buy items, the more damage you do. 100% crit would be double dmg on crits, which is what the system is now.

Power creep has been a problem in this game for a while now, and Riot seems to be doing something about it with the Rylai's nerfs (+ reduced AP in general from Mage rework) and the Assassin rework. ADCs do too much damage early and this is a way to bring the class more in line with its role without having to nerf items or play around with individual champs.

I might also add that this would solve that cancerous Trynd lvl 2 cheese or those 1% crit runepages that Riot hates due to RNG. Obviously RNG is still present, but less impactful, which I think is healthier considering early game does so much to decide the course of the game you're in

Or make their damage ramp up over consecutive autoattacks instead of being better burst as sustained DPS.

Here's the problem with your plan. Many adc's don't build crit, at least at first. Imagine being Jinx, getting an infinity edge and a runaans, walking into lane, and doing half the damage you're supposed to so Lucian obliterates you with no counterplay.

Or just make every champ scale with crit like Ashe where they gain let's say 10% auto damage with 10% crit instead of it being random. But nah.
