TBH i saw some of that when classifying differences between, say...Lucian, Sivir and Tristana. One is a duelist/Skirmisher (although atm, he's simply a jack of all trades), the other is a team oriented ADC and the other is a turret destroyer. Thing is, it's not so much that marksmen do too much at the same time, it's that every marksmen has to have that base set of abilities to even be played (i.e ranged DPS and tower taking power)...so if that marksmen has that base set, most players won't even look at the rest of what that marksmen can offer (for example i have yet to see any player using Ashe's global vision to full effect for jungle objective control, control over enemy jungle paths, etc).

In terms of crit...i don't have an issue with it per say, but i do understand why it may be an archaic mechanic...problem is...i don't see a replacement that doesn't feel like a simple flat damage increase. Crit does give your AA's variance, although in a very artificial and unfair way. Rageblade...i'd like to see it reworked as a Zeal item for AA marksmen....i actually like it's Phantom Hit passive and the build up for it. Since Trinity Force is now really focused for AA bruisers, i don't think stuff like Jax would still need it...it's kinda overkill atm...

As for Lucian...again i felt like RIOT missed a chance in the ADC rework, since he kinda worked as a prototype for a crit-based caster...a few changes i liked to see on him would be to move his reset passive out of hie E and into his W and make so you'd get the CD reductions per each crit hit on marked enemies on his other spells (i.e making him like the crit version of a Ryze) and make his ult crit like MF. On the other hand you had other crit based casters like Jhin and Sivir, who i feel are good expressions of Marksmen powerhouses...

What would you feel if League apllied the SMITE treatment and made every champion and every item either full physical or full magical damage wise? (Apparently SMITE is also having issues with their ADC class, where their DPS is lackluster and not even crit based ADC's are building crit items)
