What if Crit Chance was changed in the way Ashe uses it but for all Champions?
I think it would get rid of a whole lot of luck based damage. So I thought of an overall concept to replace the crit chance stat into what I call the Sharpness/Impact-Concept and a HUGE slew of concepts to change every crit chance item and add a couple of new ones. You may also discover that none of these items give both attack speed and Sharpness/Impact. I also intend to create 2 sub-roles for Marksmen. One which uses high damage auto attacks with low attack speed and builds Impact, armor pen and AD (like Jhin or Cait) and one which uses mixed on-hit damage with massive attack speed (like Kog'Maw and Kai'sa).
So what is that concept of mine? It's quite simple. Sharpness & Impact increase all NORMAL damage dealt by auto attacks for the mentioned percentage except for some empowered ones which are currently also not affected by critical hits, like Draven's Q and Vayne's Q and are supposed to replace crit chance as a stat which is to dependent on luck in my opinion. Sharpness is for melee champions while Impact is for ranged ones. And both of course cap at 100%.
But I dont want to completely get rid of critical damage. I want it to rather be a niche "type" of damage which can be amplified by certain items.
Now without further ado here are the items and reworked items I thought of, including low tier and mid tier items (and a couple of items that have nothing to do with this concept :3).
Disclaimer: I tried my best to balance them but I didn't do the exact maths for their gold efficiency. There may be UP or OP items and I didn't change around any Champion stat in here and I beg you to not be a d*ck about it. Thank you.
