crit and attack speed changes would be healthy for the game

you need too many stats for a crit damage adc to be relevant. crit ,attack speed and AD. most important one is probably attack speed becuse zeal items have a twin stat that is crit.

first off crit needs to be changed to % damage increase. instead of a "chance". rng is not a better mechanic than consistency. its hard to argue against that.

Current attack speed threshold is 2.5 attack speed. now Thats too much. 2.5 attack speed per second is a very limited time window to play around right. you basically have to one hit whoever that enemy is or die really quickly due to DPS/Burst. and it does affect the outplay potential you have on that target because it affects on hit effects and lifesteal

on the contrary. lets make a hypothetical situation.

You're playing tristana and you rushed a zeal item and have a long sword. enemy kog maw has a bork and a runnans. whos more effective? the kog maw. by a long shot. reason for that is attack speed doesn't do anything for crit alone. but the item has it. so its directly responsible on having less crit items. means tristana has to buy more attack speed items.

However tristana's kit doesn't really benefit from attack speed outside of the obvious adc critting people as much as possible. so she doesn't really make as much use of it as some other champions. but she still has to buy it because ad alone doesn't do jack shit. and crit is non existent outside of zeal items.

Now if lets say. max attack speed is 1.5. you're gonna say that hurts champions that usually build around or more than that. however. what we do to compensate is increase the crit of items like IE and ER. from 20%. to 30 or even 40%. and reduce the attack speed zeal items give. what does that do?

well. if you're not fed or you're a 1 item adc. and you rushed ER or IE instead of Longsword plus zeal. you have two things going for you

  1. your abilities do more damage i you have any abilities that scale with ad. which most ads do outside of kog maw am pretty sure.

  2. even if you're behind or you didn't snowball. since you aren't tied to the multi item power spikes. instead of a usless IE jinx or tristana. you have an IE that gives twice as much crit damage increase. this isn't % chance crit this is damage increase on auto attacks. which means they do respectable damage. even if they are sitting on one item right now you do no damage with a single item that isn't bork on an adc. outside of caitlyn.

this will first. reduce snowball and allow behind adcs to not be completely useless. have you tried to kill. not a tank but a champion as an adc thats behind. better hope a turret is giving you a hand because 90 damage autos ain't gonna do garbage.

again if we don't change attack speed this would be a brainless buff to crit builders and is nonsense. however we reduce max attack speed to 1.5 instead. not only that but we have a HEALTHY team fight sequence. instead of a kog maw drain lifestealing or an adc bombarding a single target tank or not. they get to make a decision on which to focus. at the same time they have better options since no longer a cpl autos are a waste on someone thats gonna heal up because it hurts More and there is no crit chance.

the other day I laned against a tryndamere that bought shiv and second item purchased pd. now thats just a terrible concept for a build. but the way attack speed works when you have enough of it isn't exactly ideal and it doesn't make much sense. its very hard to play around a time window of 0.5 seconds between auto attacks. at the same time your autos will hurt much more in short trades without needing 70% crit as an adc

I don't wanna hope for a crit as a gangplank with an IE. 50% chance. instead I want my IE to do 20% more damage every single time just like deathcap does for mages.

item 3153 = 3400 item 3085, item 3094, or item 3087 = 2600 item 1036 = 350

So what your saying is a champ with 5k gold worth of items generally beats a champ that doesn't even have 3k in items?
