In attack macros, there is already a detection for critical hits, however there is no corresponding detection for critical failures. With + to hits, especially on higher CR creatures, it can be difficult (without mousing over every roll) to determine that an 18 is ACTUALLY a critical fail.

It would be nice (along side the text that says "Such and such CRITICALLY HITS with attack" if it also said "Such and such CRITICALLY FAILS with attack" as well.

Natural 1s do cause an automatic miss on an attack roll, but there is no 'critical failure' terminology in 5e RAW, so I'm faintly tempted to simply call out the miss/natural 1 than use non-RAW terminology.

That said, I think you're right that they need to be called out in some way, and 'critically fails' would work well in the mad-libs I have laid out. 'Fails' is probably better than 'Miss', since the attack might be narrated to have 'hit' but deal no damage.

Will do!
