Agreed, here is some simple math if anyone wants to use it as proof of how poor the item has become.

A tank with 4000 health and 300 armor has 12000 effective health. % reduction obviously applies to effective health, not total health. Therefore, if protecting against only crits that one stat alone grants 1200 effective health, or about 30 armor in this instance. Let's assume that 33% of incoming damage is from crits, this seems like a reasonable assumption to me given the meta right now. Therefore, in an average teamfight death, the 10% crit reduction will likely have provided 400 effective health. A stat worth approximately 10 armor.

Comparison time:

Old Randuin's - Cost: 2850 Gold

500 Health - Gold value: 1335

70 Armor - Gold value: 1400

Cost efficiency of stats alone: 96%

New Randuin's - Cost 3000 Gold

450 Health - Gold value: 1202 Gold

60 Armor - Gold value: 1200 Gold

10% Crit Reduction - Approximate Gold value: 200

Cost efficiency of stats alone: 87%

TL;DR: Even given the generous asumption that 33% of all damage taken is from critical strikes, the new Randuin's Omen is 9% less gold efficient than the old one.

In a meta where damage is being pushed so hard, these numbers are not acceptable.
