lol... crit chance on melee weapons is suboptimal. the vast majority of crit from any good melee build comes from additive crit via slide crit/maiming strike or gladiator set/blood rush with combo multiplier. you can have 150% crit  x 15% crit weapon putting you at 37.5% crit, or you can have 150% crit ADDED to 15% crit on slide attack for 165% crit.

crit damage is far superior to crit chance as well on melee, because any good melee crit build utilizes combo multiplier and additive crit via bloodrush. 5 hits = 1.5 combo which. maxxed bloodrush is 165% crit.... that's nearly 250% crit chance... which is easy to maintain with drifting contact and easy to build up to in general.

the crit chance you get via straight crit chance on a riven is basically useless. crit damage, range, attack speed, slide crit are FAR superior.
