Scarabs really aren't that RNG. It has a lot more to do with positioning the shots and how you run away. Yea, positioning and how you run does affect it but it's still pretty RNG. No scarabs are 100% micro dependent. Perfect micro/knowledge of how scarab ai works means scarabs will never hit. Of course that doesn't even come close to happening so w\e.
well i mean scarabs (and dragoons and goliaths) do get screwed by pathing AI which, i suppose if you have 100% perfect understanding of the game, will never happen, but since no one does it does become somewhat rng.

im still not convinced. its not that ryze's ap ratios are subpar, its more that he doesnt even have ap ratios on 3 of his 4 skills. i guess i can get a AA next game and see if i see any difference.
and its true ryze isnt meant to push towers, but having the ability to late game can be useful. if you're the last one left after a fight it would take forever to kill a turret, with manamune you will get the inhib before they spawn too. against low hit point champs like shaco in a 1v1 situation your manamune assisted auto attacks will definetly be felt.
i guess i can try wota instead of roa next game too. i really have no trouble 1v1 anyone late game with my build. i will see if its easier with wota. roa adds 630 health and 725 mana fully charged, +80 ap to help out e. it might not be the most cost effecient item for ryze, but i find it effective.
Ryze's AP ratios aren't bad but they aren't non-existant. 0.2 looks bad on his q but you easily cast that 3-5X as much as any other nuke so its more like 0.6-1.0 (relatively speaking) which is pretty respectable. Not good enough to build AP but decent.
Also remember that you get a percentage of your AP as bonus damage to attacks on tower so the trade-off there isn't as cut and dry. Build AA (imo) but only when you have everything else.

Almost certainly to replace ninja tabi, though, right?

The way crit/dodge works should make it impossiple to get a string of crits with 4% crit because it's not entirely RNG based, or so I've read. While I agree that crit may be problematic earlygame on paper, especially in bot lane(you expect it on some champs like trynd obv), later in the game it's completely fine. Never had a problem with lucky crits though.
It is possible, just less likely than it should be from a mathematical perspective. They tried to make it more intuitive for people who don't really know a whole lot about random distributions etc., but it should still be possible to crit 4 times in a row with 4% crit.

Not from a gameplay point of view. If you have 4% crit chance, it should be normal that your next 15 or so attacks won't crit.

Just saw the patch preview, the TF pick a card change is awesome, so annoying when you ult, spamclick a champ and still hit a minion.
They should change it to sona powerchord aswell. Dropped a ward in enemy brush the other day and sona powerchord was wasted lol.

Read again : FROM. A. GAMEPLAY. POINT. OF. VIEW. Do you have to take people for idiots to feel better or what ?
Back to back crits are stupids and can break the early game, they shouldn't happen, and a PSEUDO random completly dismissing double crits for low values of crit chances would be benefical. Random doesn't exist on computer anyways, so why not add a little bit of hysteresis ?

It's a crit chance. It's supposed to be random (pseudo random = cannot easily tell the difference between real random and pseudo random). If it wasn't supposed to be random (no back to back crits cuz u don't like them), crit should be replaced with a "double damage after X attacks" mechanic.
There is some hysteresis in LoL's crit mechanic right now. Back to back crits at low crit values are rarer than they should be. They still exist though, and rightfully so.
I guess I should have made it clear that my previous post wasn't really meant to offend you personally, but rather to point out that the average person who doesn't really know how randomness works will always complain about crit streaks with the same argument you used. Sorry.

You should run a full crit page, you'll have like 25% crit with runes/masteries and just harass champs with your 650 range.
If only I had the IP~~.

See now that's just trolling.
By the by, how has this discussion of crit lasted so long and raised such tempers? One would almost think that we're discussing something of critical importance.

No that's not trolling, I actually want to try running 25% crit on someone like cait because it's much easier to harass with that range(if you happen not to crit you don't lose trades) and a headshot crit is insane.

Hmm. I guess. I wouldn't suggest it for a newbie cait though since without the usual ad runes you'd havea hard time last-hitting. Also positioning becomes even more critical without any defensive runes.

Best way to learn how to last hit is by using as little ad as possible, if you use ad runes to learn how to last hit you're gonna have problem when for some reason you can't use those runes or have to open boots instead of d-blade.

Best way to learn how to last hit is play ap champs. When you can last hit with that puny damage and those awful animations, you'll be able to last hit with carries ezpz.

Well that usually isn't how it worKs. The more you play a champion, the better you get at last hitting with them. Like I can last-hit with ryze pretty well but even then I can't last hit with most ranged AD carries except caitlyn and graves. you need to get individually familiar with the attack animation and range of the particular champion you're playing. Atleast thats how it seems to me from my experience.

I hope the new runes won't make a few champion broken the first days. :/
