I've gone full fights with crit rate under 10%. It's depressing.
Honestly, the stat cap has to get higher before Spellspeed will start overtaking again.

Direct hit is going to scale horribly because you can already get 30-40%, which is pretty close to the point where you won't want to increase it again (As it's a linear gain where crit and spellspeed are both more parabolic). Depending on how high secondaries go, Spellspeed can potentially become the stupidest good stat for us again.
