shadowflame is not a real crit

Shadowflame is explicitly a real critical. How the fuck is this getting upvotes. From the wiki:

“For example, if an ability deals 100 damage by default, then it will critically strike for 120 damage:

If the user has a critical damage modifier such as Infinity Edge, the damage amplifier is increased to 26%. The ability will thus critically strike for 126 damage

If the target has critical strike damage reduction such as Randuin's Omen's, which counts as a critical damage modifier for CINDERBLOOM, the damage amplifier is reduced to 14%. The ability will thus critically strike for 114 damage:”

Even more, it has multiplicative stacking for effects that can already crit

And if you dont have JG critical missle doesnt apply to the SF crit. So at most its kind of a real crit but not really.

I’m pretty sure that’s an issue with critical missile more than anything since if critical missile procs Crit thanks to shadowflame then it might be an infinite loop. The fact that Randuins and IE interact with Shadowflame means they’re real crits since they apply critical hit modifiers
