Hit damage sucks…
Will be talking mainly abt BGs. Some exceptions ofc whereby champions dealing mainly hit damage is gd like shocker cull, starky.
Many hit damage champs that require luck or wtv is q bad.
But theres too many barriers to entry for these hit damage champs. Protection, Reinforce, Yelena, Photon energy n crit resist, sinisters healing, armor, physical n energy resist, zolas cowardice
This is why champs like dazzler have fallen off in BGs and chanps like Kushala is always in the deck. If u look at the top decks most of it deals DOT or some form of burst damages because those are the meta forms of damage that bypasses a lot of abilities (eg Galan, the new Spidey). Hit damage js isnt that versatile.
The hierachy of versatility in Hit damage is this: High/ guaranteed crit (like starky lumitrix), non crit reliant (high damage w or w/o crits like Cull n crossbones) champs, SP cashout guaranteed damage (dazzler), SP cashout cycle crit reliant champs (Rintrah).
More defenders who punish DOT n burst but are vulnerable to hit damage is needed to level the playing field. Moreover, new metas can specifically boost hit damage.
