Changing Critical Strikes for Non-ADC's

Blue Spartan2··1 votes·216 views

Currently in League of Legends, especially in the most recent PBE changes to ADC's, I've seen some critical strike effects being replaced with unique effects, such as Ashe 's critical strikes increasing her slow dramatically, but not increasing her damage, or Graves autoattack getting double the bullets.

This gave me a thought.

Why not do this for all chamions? Sure some, mainly ADC's, can maintain the double damage effect for critical striking, but for other champions, who offbuild crit items, or might just like having a little crit in their build, this would open up a whole new avenue for unique builds.

An example would be Nasus . He builds item 3078 usually, which gives him a low chance to crit, what if instead of doing increased damage, it followed a more theamatic use. If crits, how about instead it heavily slows the target for a very short time, and if they have wither applied, for example, it refreshes its duration?

Now instead of just doing more damage, his crit effect fits his character theamatically.

Another example is Zed , who usually builds item 3142 , which gives him crit, how about instead of just bonus damage, it reapplied his passive again, or if he crits WITH his passive, it does true damage or something like that.

For a bunch of champions, who sometimes offbuild items that have crit on them, small changes like this would open up a whole new path for them.

Crit Nasus goes from a sort of joke build, into a legitimate build that focuses on crippling a single target with a near perma wither.

I've personally always hated crit, it always felt out of place, and something only ad carries get so that they can have stupidly high late game scaling, but with a change like this, crit becomes a new tool that any champion could potentially use with interesting and even possibly character defining effects.

Crit seems harder to get on Rengar Youmuus + PD + I.E was really great in terms of crit, I feel like he cant do 50% armor pen 50% crit now, instead hes going to have to go 100% crit build or full armor pen build, given the way the item are now. (Added/changed)
