Yes, slow and poison. (And all the campaign abilities, since I don't see a reason to restrict this mode to multiplayer only.) >> I think it would be better for units to >> always do damage, but with weak hits and critical hits.

Neither do I. In case it wasn't obvious: weak hits deal reduced damage. For instance, a 33-67% split between weak and critical hits for a unit with 70% chance to deal 10 damage currently would cause the unit to deal 4 damage when missing and 8 damage when hitting. (I'm not saying the 33-67% split is an interesting split, it's just to give an example.) The 0-100% split is the current system. The 50-50% split is a system without luck involved (except for abilities).
