Smogon fag here and to everyone complaining about crits, STFU. they serve a huge purpose. A critical hit ignores your opponents stat boosts and a "lucky" crit might be the only way to win a stall war. They also make the game much more interesting, when everything is 100% calculated it makes games stale after a while. Random chance is important to any competitive game.
TLDR Crits break stall and are important to keeping the game interesting
