What Not to Pair with Crit Ncast

Avoid Crit Ncast + Slow and Steady: Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady removes all attack speed bonuses, converting them to attack damage instead. Since Crit Ncast scales ability haste based on critical strike chance, and attack speed builds typically stack crit, this augment eliminates the attack speed synergy that would normally accompany a crit-focused build, severely limiting Crit Ncast's potential value. Avoid Crit Ncast + Back to Basics: Avoid this pairing because Back to Basics permanently seals your ultimate ability in exchange for ability haste and damage bonuses. Crit Ncast provides ability haste scaling from critical strike chance, but the loss of your ultimate creates a significant power deficit that the extra haste cannot compensate for, making this a net negative trade. Avoid Crit Ncast + Purist - Caster: Avoid this pairing because Purist - Caster converts all bonus attack speed into ability haste and reduces ability cooldowns by 10%. This creates redundant ability haste stacking with Crit Ncast while removing attack speed, which is typically built alongside critical strike chance, reducing the overall stat efficiency and build flexibility. Avoid Crit Ncast + ADAPt: Avoid this pairing because ADAPt converts all bonus attack damage into ability power. Crit Ncast rewards building critical strike chance for ability haste, but champions who benefit from crit typically scale with attack damage. Converting AD to AP creates a stat mismatch that wastes the offensive scaling this augment combination would otherwise provide.
