As an AD carry main, I can assure you that a marksman's early game is no easy phase. Sure, there are marksman champions with strong early games (Caitlyn, Miss Fortune, etc.), but even they are susceptible to zoning against certain duos. Mid and late game can be equally challenging, when everyone on the enemy team has their eyes set on you. It's an already difficult role that does not need to be even harder. In addition, changing the gameplay as a result of this change is just leveling out the playing field more than it currently is.

Critical strikes are hardly dependent on attack speed, only for the purposes of reliable sustained burst damage. If your crit chance is high enough, you'll be landing crits on pretty much every autoattack.
