In a video game, a critical hit that occurs when a normal hit would have killed the enemy. Typically annoying in that the crit would have been desired when the enemy was at full health.
An example of a cosmetic crit in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
*Felix goes to fight some enemy*
*He has a 40% chance of landing a crit on the enemy*
*first hit: 34 damage, enemy is almost dead*
Player: Dang, no crits.
*enemy punches Felix back, Felix takes 10 damage*
Player: Would have avoided it if he’d gotten the crit, but oh well.
Felix, going for the killing blow: I’LL CUT YOU DOWN!
Player: Seriously, Felix? You couldn’t have gotten that earlier?

Get the Critmug. 
Retards who use Critical leaders in Raid and messes up for everyone trying to get the Rare drops from the Crit-resistant body parts.
They include, but are not limited to, the following units:
Avant, Korzan, Griff, Zedus etc

And so another Crit-tard joins the party in Raid and makes everyone's life miserable.
I wish those Crit-tards would learn to play the game properly and not destroy everyone else's contribution.

Get the Critmug. In games, a critical hit that occurs redundantly and in which a normal hit would have been just as effective.
These are often annoying or frustrating in a game where critical hits are rare and/or generally out of the player's control/influence.

Yeah, I was battling a trainer in Pokemon and I got a pointless crit when their Pokemon's HP was pretty low. I could've used it at any other point but RNGesus chose now of all times.

Get the pointless critmug. An uncomfortably high decibel noise (most of the time a persons voice) on popular voice chat programs such as Teamspeak or Ventrilo. This is often the result of a poor microphone or the inbound/gain volume being too high.
