Strange Critical Strike damage...

I've been noticing a strange piece of data in my match history. The records state that some characters, such as Vladimir, Sion, Alistar, 0-crit Pantheon, Shaco, and Fiora, and even Anivia, have critical strike damage. (Largest Critical Strike statistic.) Now, while it is conceivable that they might have Crit Chance runes, I know for a fact that I don't have any, and I've checked several of the others and they didn't have any. My question is, is there some mechanic in the game that I don't know about? Or is this a glitch? There are a lot of percent damage increase masteries now, and I am wondering if the game somehow counts them as critical strikes. But due to the numbers, I seriously doubt that.

Pantheon's Passive is considered a critical hit

Same goes to Anivia's E(?) on marked targets.

I'm assuming the rest have other "crit" functions in their kits

Anivia e crits frozen targets. I think vlad enhanced Q crits, shaco Q generates a crit. Fiora w? Crits on 2nd hit. The others are probs runes.

Some spells that have increased damage under some circumstances are considered as critical strike.

Anivia's E on frosted target, Karthus' Q on one target, Pantheon's AA and Q when his target have less than 15% Max HP, etc...

For Shaco, his next AA after his Q crit, and for Fiora, her second next attack after her E crit too.

Many players go for 1 % crit chance runes when playing AD champs.

In some cases, spells that do extra damage under certain conditions can be treated as crits. Examples include Vladimir's empowered Q, Anivia's E on a slowed target, or Karthus's Q on a single target.

Other champions have abilities that guarantee a crit, like Shaco's Q, Fiora's E, or the passive on Pantheon's E (100% crit against low health enemies).

Sion and Alistar I've got nothing for, though.

shacos q causes his next auto attack out of stealth to score an automatic critical strike.

pantheons spear toss automatically crits a target below a certain health threshold.

anivias empowered e is technically a critical strike.

fioras second auto attack with her e is an automatic crit.
