Taking advantage of Crit unpredictability can certainly work. But crit only functions "on-value" (aka worth thegold/slot) from the midgame on since it´s a enhancing stat, not sanctioned PvP gambling. | ||

Turned into a battle of who could feed off the level 8 guys the most to win -.- | ||

If you have 1% crit, your overall increased dmg is 100%(crit dmg) x 1%, so effectively you're only increasing your overall damage by 1%, with a crit rune. That means 1% crit chance rune will increase dmg by 1% while AD red, would increase your overall dmg by more than 1% for like the first 6 levels. Taking crit runes isn't about the overall damage output. It's about getting a crit at the right time and potentially getting a kill/winning the lane because it happened at the right time. It's a gamble, but the idea is that the cost of the gamble is pretty negligible, and the reward for the gamble the times when it happens is comparatively large. You're probably never going to lose a game based on doing 1 less damage per attack, but it's certainly possible to win a game based on a lucky crit getting you a kill and then snowballing the lane/game from there. | ||

Maxing R>E>Q>W, slow them with E and then pew pew them down with R. It was shocking how much damage I could dish out. I run with him cleanse instead of ignite since I rarely get near them anyway, and it seems to scale well into late game. Would there be any reasons not to run AP kog mid? Seems overlooked to me,. not to mention it's fun as hell to R people to their deaths My brother's been playing AP Kog since release and yes it's pretty crazy. The downside to AP Kog compared other casters: No escapes, no hard CC, low burst, Q is very close range and thus unreliable However, you have poke comparable to or better than Xerath's, crazy low cooldowns and pretty crazy damage. W actually becomes useful later too, and you start melting tanks even without building dps. 10% of max health per hit and a free 30% aspd steroid is not to be ignored. | ||

I just said number support Flat AD over 1% crit. I just think the overall numbers support flat AD, over crit. Stronger overall strength vs lucky burst in strength. | ||

You dont need to play any differently, but once it DOES happen... And your looking at a trade off of about 1 ad no matter what rune you give up. You DO do more damage overall by taking a crit rune because 1 crit means 100% more damage, plus the percentage bonus. Thats more damage than you get with an ad red or an armpen red. | ||

Thats more damage than you get with an ad red or an armpen red. Ideally its around 100 attacks to proc the extra 100% damage, vs 55attacks (starting AD of most carries, or somewhere around here i believe) to create 100% dmg. I don't see the cost effeciency here? Yes, you'll do more damage in a lucky engagement in which your attack does proc. however your overall effeciency is significantly lower at all other points in the game/s. Not to mention, crit chance only pays for itself when you do crit. vs AD runes are always constantly paying for itself. | ||

It's a really quite inconsequential difference. Do you value slightly higher consistent damage that might pay off over a long enough time period, or a very, very miniscule chance of completely swinging a fight? | ||

I just said number support Flat AD over 1% crit. I just think the overall numbers support flat AD, over crit. Stronger overall strength vs lucky burst in strength. No one bases their play style around getting a crit if they get just one crit rune. Just like no one bases their play style around criting back when there was a 4% crit mastery. You're trading 1 AD or 1.7 ArmPen for the chance of getting a crit. In bot lane landing a crit at level 1-3 forces your opponent to pop a potion. Landing it in a trade at early levels will win you the trade. Landing it during a gank will ensure kills. And it's not as easy as "flat AD is better cause of the math," for two reasons. First, Riot hasn't released their algorithm for RNG so we have no way of knowing just how good 1% is. I know that when 4% existed I felt like I critted a lot more than 4% of the time. Second, you aren't going to attack your opponent enough times equally for every game. 1 AD means that for the average champion you'd need to attack an enemy champion something like 55 times and get no crit for it to be better to have that 1 extra AD. A single crit in the middle of 55 autos makes that 1% crit rune better. And frankly I don't think I come close to autoing an enemy champion 55 times in the first few levels. | ||
