Quick Question: Does the New Ashe (tm) benefit from greater than 100% Crit Chance?

The math formula you gave:

"Basic attacks always critically strike targets with Frost Shot for 110 +( [Crit Chance] x [1.0 x Crit Damage])% damage (increased by items that would otherwise grant Critical Strike Chance), but Ashe does not otherwise critically strike."

...Seems to indicate that Ashe can actually gain extra "critical" damage through having, say, 210% critical strike chance ( item 3046 item 3046 item 3046 item 3046 item 3046 item 3046 ).

Is this the case?

Is it intended?

Can it be? It's a weird interaction but I don't think it's unreasonably powerful considering it enables some cool item builds that get around item restrictions we normally see. I mean if you end up with 110% crit chance on a build, that extra 10% is wasted on any other character. It doesn't seem like it would be outrageous on Ashe considering you did literally pay for it in gold.

Note: with item 3031 item 3046 item 3046 item 3046 item 3046 you'd have 110 + (20+35+35+35+35)*2.5 = 510% damage "crits." Each Flurry would be pretty spectacular.

I don't think the Critical Strike Chance stat is allowed to go beyond 100% though, just like CDR and AS are hard-capped.

It probably does, lucian's ult benefits from aspd beyond the hard cap.

AS is different from Crit. Crit is the percent chance that your autos will do extra damage. Attack speed is the percent that your base attack speed is increased by. Mathmatically, you can't ever have more than a 100% chance to do something. On the other side, mathematically, you CAN have a number increased by a percentage over 100%. So while both use percentages, they're very different instances - probability in one hand (crit) and bulk increase in the other hand (AS).

Well i tried it and you cant have beyond 100%. with infinity edge and 2 zeal items only 110+(100) critical strike dmg you get.
