Armor decreases the amount of damage you take from critical strikes, the same way it decreases all forms of physical damage.

Armor does not decrease any opponent's critical damage stat. I assume this isn't what you're talking about, but it bears mentioning anyway to prevent someone else from misunderstanding.

Crit does 200% (or more with items and masteries) of the damage you take, so yes and no. Not directly at least.

Say you take 100 damage from that *** Draven. When he crits without items/masteries, he does 200 damage. Any armor increase on your part, like reducing his damage to 50, you reduce his crits to 100.

Correct me if i'm wrong please.

It decreases any physical damage you take, and because Crits are part of physical damage, yes.

ok here is a tricky one. you said crits are PHYSICAL damage, so what does the crit of Statikk Shiv's 100 magic damage deal ? is it physical or magical ? :D if you answer magical then the answer to the question

"Does armor decrease Crit strike damage?" would be - sometimes

but if you answered physical the answer to the same question would be always.

so generally the answer to your question is both yes and no, armor do decrease all crit damage except when it came from statikk shiv :D

hope this shone some light :)
+rep if i helped or if you just happen to like repping ^^

Hello, exception that proves the rule, how you doing?

Statikk Shiv will always deal the same damage by the way, so no amount of MR will reduce the attack or the crit.

"UNIQUE Passive: Moving and attacking builds Static Charges. At 100 charges, your next attack expends the charges to deal 100 magic damage to up to 4 targets. This damage can critically strike."

Magic damage -> Blocked by MR
Statikk shiv -> Magic damage
Statikk shiv can crit -> Magic damage can crit
Statikk shiv crits -> Blocked by MR
Change is gooooood
