5/15 PBE Update

-Zeal items increased by 300g. -ER as crit item removed from the game. -IE cost increased by 300g + 15% (on crits) dmg to champs as true dmg. Loses 20% flat crit but doubles the crit chance from other items. -Stormrazor is the only change that may help crit adcs.

You guys know this means? Is Varus non Kaisa crit KogMaw adcs Ezreal time Kalista to MissFortune riseJhin

Been testing on PBE, Crit ADCs are still doing just fine, they just don't turn on as fast but they still got good damage

I mean thats how crit ADCs became strong to begin with. "Lethailty ADCS are too strong! Buff crit!"....... and before that it was on hit markmens using item 3153

Hmmm I'm not complaining, I'm just pointing that non crit adcs will be better.

They will be better compared to crit ADCs, but they won't magically become more powerful compared to crit ADCs before the patch.

I think your wording just needed a bit of improvement.

Funniest thing about this post is actually the fact that the only non crit ADC u listed was ezreal and maybe varus kogmaw to some degree. Reason I say "to some degree" is because they can go crit on them just as easily as they can go on hit. Check it out:

What people are building on Kaisa for the last w/e months : http://www.probuilds.net/champions/details/Kaisa What people are building on Varus (I see crit just as much as I see rageblade nashor): http://www.probuilds.net/champions/details/varus
O look Kalista rushes crit too: http://www.probuilds.net/champions/details/kalista Full crit on MF too with ER as well : http://www.probuilds.net/champions/details/missfortune Jhin, not a single lethality item in sight, pure crit: http://www.probuilds.net/champions/details/jhin

The point is nearly every champion you listed (except ezreal) is having their most optimal build nerfed, so how exactly are these nerfed champions the new ADC overlords suddenly?

Maybe because the champs I listed have been viable with other builds than crit in previous metas?

Let's take MF: she uses crit over lethality because crit is busted atm: if you nerf crit she can come back to lethality. A Caitlyn in other hand only has crit as viable build.

Ofc a lot of those champs currently run crit, the difference between them and the Xayah/Cait/Trist/Sivir is that they have other builds. The on hit users will still take Runaan for the extra bolts imo, it's too good on them.
