ADCs buy anything except crit because crit itemization is a shitty design. They will buy any other items first. Crit is too weak early game and too strong late game.

an AD amplification will by definition be weak in early game and strong in late game

complaining about yasuo building crit is the shittiest behavior someone can ever have, a melee carry(hello gp yi trynd) WILL buy crit unless their kit is designed to work around something else like fiora true damage and saying that crit is balanced around yasuo, LMFAO

so if adcs are able to buy a broken item first, then build crit with runan and IE they shouldn't complain in the first place, they shouldn't even complain about crit being weak in early game when their early game is strong now with fervor bork and cleaver (twitch ashe and i saw other adcs building it)

They are building those things because if you build Crit on an ADC these days you get "ADC in 2017 lul".

Why? the games are decided by 15-20 minutes, before they have any power. And that isn't going to change anytime soon. Because other than noobs failing to close out a game players on average are experienced enough these days with enough data on their hands to extend advantages and pressure behind teams out of existence.

So ADCs will give up Crit to get any other form of itemization that gives more immediate survivability and early game damage.

Crit actually use to have earlier powerspikes when things like TLD didn't kill them at level 2 from the enemy support. So early game DPS and kiting were viable. Plus IE had 30% crit instead of 20%.

But those days are gone. ADCs will look for any other option aside from Crit. Because the critical strike items are crappy.

Notice Yasuo still builds them, because he doesn't take till 35-45 minutes to be useful with them.

i don't care about crit, it gives adcs a delayed power curve anyway they're able to not get this delayed power curve by abusing a broken item they shouldn't complain ever

not crit problem, it's riot not wanting to fixe their game pace

before they have any power.

they're not supposed to have power, but they have power now early on so just abuse this power and be happy about your champion not waiting 20 min to be relevant

until then don't complain about: -crit being weak in early game when you have bork -yasuo building crit

i think i said it like 5 times, i don't care about crit being weak in early game don't complain about crit being weak when you can be relevant immediatly now without crit

because he can get more crit and thus more ad and he can remove the RNG factor from them that's why
