Just get IE and you're getting both. Then you can only increase the Chance % from there.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post?

EDIT: Realistically, they're both important. If you just increase % damage, you never crit. So I guess it's important to get % chance first and then increase % damage.

Edit 2: Ahh, which is more important in your runes ... armor pen.

armor pen...yes. But if you are using someone like GP, Yi, Tynd, etc...crits can help. Yea, I'd probably go with %-chance + IE, but i thought I would open it up for a discussion

never get crit damage runes

there is ONE exception to that, and that is if you are trying to abuse Trynd's crit ratio from his passive.

Possibly one other (that I'm going to be trying soon). Shaco 's 100% crit chance on his Q.

Alright so one thing you need to know is that IE is very standard for every adc to build and you never build attack speed first unless your adc already deals alot of dmg. In terms of crit damage, infinity edge is the only item you need regarding this . In terms of crit strike, you're going to get it from infinity edge and an attack speed item like static shiv, phantom dancer, or youmuu's ghostblade. I don't recommend that you invest into crit dmg nor crit strike runes because they're not worth it since theres better stats to utilize runes for. Don't be fooled by the idea of getting "more crit strike and dmg". On ADCs, Late game, ADCs will have alot more attack speed so more autoattacks = more crits. Critical dmg is 200% of your total AD so as long as you have alot of AD built up, your crits are going to deal more dmg.

I wasn't thinking about this for ranged ADCs. I agree with everything you said, btw. I'm curious though, IF you were to use crit chance runes, who would you run them on?

The only reason why I'm asking is because of the sale on runes right now. I'm fully stocked on the regular runes, but I like to get creative sometimes and thought this was an interesting thing to play with. For all we know, extra crit chance could be a game-breaker on a few champs.

Mainly Gangplank since his Q can crit so its really good if you manage to get a lucky crit off in the beginning of the game. I don't really think there are many other champions that benefit from it. You might be thinking yasuo and tryndamere but i feel like their kits already utilize crit strike well.
