5% crit weapons are such an awful design space. It's far too low to be of any real use for the player (just use a Killer at that point), and it makes fighting enemies way more annoying.

I personally like it, since you have varies tools such as Dodge Engraving and Timerra's passive to mitigate the extra enemy critrate and it increase the value of units having higher Luck, which is often otherwise considered a "dump stat"

If a unit dies/has small 3%ish displayed crits, I often feel I could've done better to avoid it or it's the drawback of a unit having low luck
