Crit isn't random damage increase; it's in the favor of the defender. If the enemy carry has 27% crit chance, it means that 73% of the time you are lucky not to get hit by a crit, not that the carry is lucky to deal double damage 27% of the time.

Similarly, Sion's passive isn't that bad, because it's only damage reduction, not a complete dodge, so on-hit effects apply; and he still gets dealt damage anyway. It's a defense mechanism to protect him from ranged champions that would utterly and completely dominate him in lane otherwise. Technically, you should see it as being unlucky not to get AA reduced by 20 damage 60% of the time.
