Critical chance decrease hurts khajiit unfairly

So, with 6% less critical chance, khajiit have less of a chance to experience their primary combat-related racial bonus. All other races have primary stats that apply all the time, but not khajiit, and with this nerf, they have even less "racial identity", at least insofar as combat is concerned. Very poorly considered - neither fair nor level playing field.

Are there any plans to address this? How about restoring khajiit crit chance racial bonus?

    Balanced race is still balanced when everyone is affected by the crit hammer. Most min/max players aren’t taking Khajiit anyway.

    It does however put them solidly behind Dunmer now for a race that can switch between mag and stam.

    Next update appears to be cutting power across the board, but only PTS tests will be able to tell.

    Everyone may be affected by crit hammer, but since khajiit's sole racial combat bonus is gated behind crit chance, khajiit get hurt 2x. No other race is getting defacto racial bonus nerf.

    Well there is one other race who's racials got entirely overshadowed by other simply by the major/minor endurance buffs

    Try...roll dodging for racial bonus.

    id say it got improved to align to be more effective no matter what weapon you build into. Obviously, minimalistic critical chance builds will feel a difference; and its very easy to score 70%+ Critical Chance under current changes. I see how it would rub min max wrong where they need to adapt to the crit loss on CP and precise.

    With the changes to Major Sorcery and Savagery it is only a 4% crit chance reduction if you run around with either of those active.
