Should the proc set crit nerf from Homestead be undone?

As many people know, about a year ago during the Homestead patch, proc sets were changed so that they could not crit anymore. As far as I know, that was mostly a poor attempt to address proc sets that were a pain in pvp. Since then, said sets have been individually nerfed and are rarely seen in pvp now. With that, should the proc set crit nerf be reverted, and if so, why?

    Undo the proc set nerf just in time for Battlegrounds to go No CP again? Yeah, that'll turn out well.

    Yes but why not just give them a different crit modifier? Normal damage base modifier is 1.5x - why not give them a 1.1x modifier or something? It would be better than keeping them completely lame am I right @ZOS_RichLambert?

    Yes, but they should lower the base damage.

    It would make it easier to balance proc sets in pve and pvp:

    In pvp you can lower crit damage. Right now they just deal a certain about of damage that can not be reduced by the one of most important stat in pvp (impen)
    In pve crit chance and crit damage modifier are extremely important and those sets can not benefit from which them makes most of proc sets useless in pve.

    I don't care if it makes combat in Cyrodiil worse. If sets like Selistrix or Stormfist could crit?

    There's a lot of changes I don't agree with that have happened in the past few years. The removal of critting procs in not one of those things. When tooltips already list 12-15k, it's just a bad idea.

    It would just punish people not wearing 5 heavy armor, and personally I'd like Medium and Light armor builds to still be viable.

    See, that's the 'fake news' bit thats bolded.

    Players keep saying that. Especially PVEers who want to be live it. But ZoS said that it was nerfed that way because it was over performing in PVE based on their stats. And also with the hope of reducing the PvP burst from them.
    I know who I believe.

    The only way they will get buffed is if ZOS's metrics show them to be under performing.

    No. All content can be completed fin right now without crits from procs. Why the need for more free damage in PvP and PvE? Also Skoria needs to be dodgeable imo. It should suffer the same changes all the other sets suffered.

    For once proc sets aren’t generally super over powered or under powered and it’s not a death sentence if you don’t use them. Stop, please.
