Crit Chance?

So, people are saying that crit chance is bad, and that having luck based damage (Tryndamere for example) is actually bad. Which makes sense. For people without RNGesus like me, you'll probably end up never critting an important enemy and crit blue buff 3 times in a row. Idk, that's how my luck works.

Then I read that Ashe is coming back into competitive play, and one of her benefits that caused that, was more predictable damage with her increased damage per crit chance passive.

So, why don't we just do that with the rest of the ADCs? Instead of removing crit chance completely, we could factor it into different passive damage for different characters. Such as, more bursty AA reliant champions would have a lower crit increased damage, (Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaven), than spell reliant champions. Like Graves. Reason being, the crit chance shouldn't factor into more damage for spells, it should factor into your auto attacks. Therefore, AA reliant champions having a higher increased damage would eventually overpower and spell reliant champions. Afterall, it doesn't take skill to land an auto attack. Also, spell reliant champions would have a higher crit increased damage so they can consistently crank out damage while their spells are on cooldown.

Does anyone agree with this? If this is a horrible idea, please tell me why. I'm not the greatest mechanic designer of all time, and I'd love to hear other people's opinions on this matter.

They've talked about this before, they don't want to remove crit. :)

that would be the boring solution.

if i was to rework crit, id keep the big hits, but remove the rng. meaning every x attack is an automatic critical strike, that is displayed in stacks like stattic shiv.

the only restriction would be, that crit stacks decay after a few seconds out of combat. otherwise it would be incredibly easy for assassins to sit on a 100 stacks and use the burst in their assassination attempts.

Several changes and good ideas have been proposed already.

It's a shame Riot wants to keep the RNG. It's a really frustrating thing that is not rewarding, in my opinion.

Rito could definitely turn crit items into additive percent AA amplification items. Brawler's gloves would give all of your autoattacks 8% more damage without increasing your AD. IE would make your autoattacks (20%*1.5)=30% more powerful. After PD and IE you would have (55%*1.5)=82.5% autoattack amplification.
