An Idea to Fix Crit Chance

What if the amount of bonus damage a crit does was equal to your crit chance? Example: I have 100 AD and 20% crit chance, so a regular attack does 100 damage, but a critical strike does 120 damage. At 50% crit chance it's 150 damage, etc. This way early fights wouldn't be decided (at least not as heavily) by who crits first. But later on crits would still be satisfying and powerful, but also more reliable. I know this would nerf ADCs early game hard, but they could get compensating buffs, and/or maybe cheaper access to crit chance.

Thoughts?

Oh - IE would make it so crits do 1.5 x (crit chance) bonus damage or something.

...You'd make getting critical strike absolutely useless unless you had 3+ items.

Current crit = AD x 2(2.5 if with IE).

Your crit = Chance of crit x AD ( x1.5 if IE).

Or, with 200 AD and 25% crit (IE and some AD), current does 500, yours would do 375. Seeing as this would make adcs lose 25% of their damage, it's a pretty substantial nerf.

In addition, this would make getting full crit builds even worse late game, as current crits do up to 2.5x normal, with your change they could do up 3x. Which means you made an already weak early game class weaker in return for making their godlike late game even better.

Do you even use crit items? I can't tell if you want to nerf them because you lost a game recently or you just don't buy them.

Just...

No.

Why not just make every auto attack do damage equal to your crit chance...

I mean, think of it like this. On average, with 100 AD and 50% crit chance, you do 150 damage per auto attack with our current system: ((100+200)/2)=150

All this does now is it makes Critical Chance less chance based and far more consistent. ADC players can't complain because, as the major DPS champs in League, their DPS is technically completely untouched. Furthermore, everyone else who has to deal with Crits won't need to complain (as much). You know those people who cry over Level 1 GP or Tryndamere cheese crits? No more!
