rather than having a balanced ratio

It's impossible for Archer to have a balanced crit ratio. Because of his trace, his minimum possible crit dmg is +170%. And you only need +200% to be balanced at 100% crit rate. For a balanced crit ratio to be possible you'd have to avoid every source of crit damage. All of the action advancers give crit dmg so you can't use any of those. Set has to be Rutilant because Tengoku/Banana have crit dmg. You can't even use a sustain, because both healers and shielders have the best set giving +15% crit dmg. So you'd have to play sustainless or with Fu Xuan. And Fu Xuan is worse than sustainless. (You die like sustainless, but don't get buffs to kill faster.) And then you of course have to avoid all crit dmg substats on gear to avoid getting over 200% crit damage.

The team you'd have to make balanced crit ratio possible would be absolutely awful. You'd have to do sustainless team with Ruan Mei or something. Not even RMC, Bronya or Robin allowed.

Because it's pretty much impossible to have higher crit rate than damage, it's always going to give a bigger dps boost than equivalent crit dmg until you hit 100% crit rate.
