New Stat: AP Crit

FarRockBF··73 votes·5,414 views

I wanna see a late game Annie pull a summoner 4 +Tibbers onto the enemy team and it CRIT for 250% damage. Or a Karthus Ult CRIT for 250%. Or a Chogath flash-feasting a carry for 2500 unmitigated true damage. AWESOMENESS. . . . . .

PS. Yes I'm kidding. I can already hear the cries.

PPSS. 8 hours in and I am still amazed at how many A.D.D. children cannot read that this post is a JOKE. Good lord!

Why would you even joke about that? That's terrible.

Wut.

IMO that's completely fair, you MAY get crit with an ability once every 60+ seconds. [ which costs mana ]

ADCs WILL crit you once every 3 seconds, manaless, with lifesteal.

And then "lol muh escape Caitlyn Graves Lucian "

As an ADC you may crit on a 350 damage, single target 'ability' more than once every 3 seconds. But it's also far easier to itemise anti AD than anti AP. Big ticket armour items like item 3110 and item 3143 exist as well as items that help to weaken auto attacks against you like item 3047 and item 3075 .

A 1000 damage tibbers (completely possible) would crit for 2500 damage, after MR that's around 80% of a squishy champs HP pool, against some super squishy champs like Sona it could probably instakill.

If Annies whole combo was to crit she'd deal upwards of 5000 damage, which is undodgable, instantly. That would be by far the most broken thing in League ever, it would overthrow beta TF.

And then "lol muh escape

I think it's generally excepted that ADCs are super mobility creeped and eventually something will need to be done to tone down not just ADC mobility but the majority of the mobility in the game. I'm disappointed that you didn't even mention Kalista though.

Then you remain squishy and the APC will "pounce" you and bam dead.

You see there's a point that needs to be made here. If her full combo were to crit for 5000 damage and she had a void staff and sorcs she would instakill a target with 3000 HP and 150 MR.

That's way more than is ever reasonable on a squishy champ, hell she'd be instakilling some tanky mages and bruisers like Vlad and Wukong under some circumstances. And 5000 damage on a critical combo is conservitive. at 700 ap her crit combo would be capable of dealing 6.5K, at that point you're blowing up anyone without at least 3 MR items or 5k HP.

Lank, he's joking. Realistically, I would ban her. Critting is a pretty stupid concept. What you are saying is that every Ap champion will be the Meta. Who needs Sion top when you can have Swain dotting you down to 0? Who needs Zed when you can deal potentially around 3-4k damage AOE as Annie (Probably through R and E)? Why even need ADC? Yes you have a point here, BUT this thread is made as a joke. He even edited "PS. Yes I'm kidding. I can already hear the cries." What the main intention of this post will remain.... A joke, but Riot will never implement it at all.

because sometimes satire just reveals the sad truth about things...like the hypocrisy that people think a critting tibbers would be ridiculous but apparently are fine with Jinx AoE-Critting for a 1000dmg every second.

Such a beautiful comment that sums up this whole post. #WhySoSerious? xD

Well and that 3500 damage tibbers initiation would also deal 0 damage if the enemy team has a banshee And well even if there was more anti AP/caster items it would likely not be used that much (unless it was a good single item defense against burst) as tank usually only bother building one MR item + Merc Treds because.... well they usually have enough HP that they can survive the burst... so the ADC sustained damage is the problem so most tanks would still probably keep on stacking up armor

only 350 damage? Draven can get 1000+ damage Crits (before armor.. with a pretty standard build)

And of course it would be a lot more if he went for a heavy AD build and cut things like PD/SS for more AD and used Mercurial Scimitar as his "defensive" item

LankPants1 votes

350 is the base damage, yes crits can be multiplied up to around 1k but the non-crit AA will be around 350.

Hawkefire1 votes

It is also far easier to itemize against armor and health with AD builds.

YOU BEEN WARNED2 votes

It's far easier because mages' damage source is gated by cooldowns. ADCs and ADCasters have both attackspeed and spells.

Besides it's not like it means anything because item 3035 & item 3153 are too effective at killing everything.

On the contrary, I find BOTH to be just as bad, and from what I have seen, a fairly large amount of people do as well.

That Murphys Law1 votes

Imagine if instead of ADC's critting 2 times every 5 autos with some variation they rolled once for all 5 attacks at a time.

FantasySniper2 votes

Because Tibbers is on a 120-80 sec base CD, and making spellcasts inconsistent isn't nearly as much of a problem as keeping AAs inconsistent.

Your Magic Damage has a chance to deal 25% extra True Damage, based on your critical strike chance. The item granted 25% Critical Strike Chance.

Riot should make just one champion that does. A mage based around random AP crits.

  1. I was JOKING
  2. Cass would become severly UP. She is a DoT mage not a burst mage. It's the burst mages that would become OP:

Annie Orianna Lux Chogath (dat feast tho)Brand etc.

You must be off your meds. Imagine someone like Katarina, Diana, or god forbid Akali with AP crit. They would literally insta-gib an entire team.

Sure, would make ap assassins that aren't leb/ahri/kat be able to be viable. I remember playing some ap mid/top shaco was pretty good back in the day. Or some AP janna. Maxing that Q/W for instant wave clear or good harass with E buff doing some decent trading if you dodged skill shots. Sadly both of these champs i just mentioned have had their AP side gutted to hell directly or indirectly.

Imagine getting hit by Ahri Q as it critical hits. Riot should add this for a day just to troll everyone.

Even though this a joke, bursting basically is the equivalent.

ChaosThief1 votes

I'm going to have to say no. Some things are fun to be random, like if they made TF's W pick one of the three cards as you throw it. (JUST AN EXAMPLE)

Adding extra damage in a chance is a big no-no, as crit itself just changes the game off a few lines of code.

I would love this!

Edit: I have a few crit runes added so I can get a little bit of a present now and then when I play Soraka. Nothing beats getting a crit on her starcall :D

Cindikle1 votes

Joking aside

Karthus does crit for 200% on his Q when he hits a single target. If you don't believe me go check the end game stats on highest crit.

Same with Aniva's E on chilled targets.

Unsure if IE buffs these stats though.

Also... it's more likely we'd see more nid spear spam or something like Cho'Gath

I feel like if magical crit was a thing, it would only be accessible to certain abilities like azir's soldiers or tf's wild cards, but definetly not nidalee's q or any abilities that can already nuke your HP with one hit.

The funny part is that 50% of the community want to remove AD crits from the game. Why would AP crit be any more similar??

AP used to have an item that would let spells crit for a small bonus of true damage, but that was removed for very obvious reasons and i can't say I'd like to see it again.
