How to get S and Honor Ribbons for doing little to nothing (proof of failing RIOT game play system)

Just had a game where our jungler Kha didn't do a single meaningful gank. The only time he ganked he got suicide.

Jungler Kha end up with half support's damage, total of 8.802 (lowest in the team). He didn't kill a single dragon (team killed 2). He virtually was useless whole game, he only killed some stranglers so he end up with 7/2/1 (as you can see he even couldn't assist). Lowest number of wards in the team too.

Yet, somehow, he was the only one guy with S in the team and a honor ribon (though he didn't say a single word, neither he helped the team in any substantial way). Even opposing team admitted that kha was useless. Oh yeah, he killed two towers as post battles he was the only one free of harm since he never participated in team fights.

Conclusion: if you want to be loved by RIOT system keep shut, don't help team, do kill steals so you will be rewarded with S and honors.

I'm not saying the system is perfect, but please don't lie to pull up a false narrative. He was there for first dragon, in fact he got two kills bot then took dragon. Not saying he did amazing, but it wasn't like he didn't do anything. He also had most towers, most objectives, most gold on team, most cs, and an entire level over everyone when your team was basically ahead the whole game. Could have have done more, yeah, but he wasn't like not doing anything, he wasn't feeding and he wasn't being toxic as you said, so what is the problem?

  1. Junglers don't usually have that high champion damage in short games since, unlike laners, don't have anyone to really fight often during the farming period. If the game lasts long enough for there to be a lot of team fights, that damage would show, but this one was only 24 minutes.

  2. That support (you btw) was a full AP Zillian. You did more damage than the ADC and top laner. You really should've saved those kills for your teammates. (Bonus tip from 1 support player to another: Ward more. Buy Control wards more.)

  3. Kha'zix specializes in killing stragglers. If he's killing someone who failed to group, he's killing the right targets. And if he did that 7 times in a 24 minute game with only 2 deaths, then that's also good.

  4. He's fairly reliant on his ult for meaningful ganks, which isn't uncommon for most of the other assassin junglers.

  5. Honor ribbons are given out because someone DID do something, so you're clearly the only one on your team to make this complaint.

What was his creep score? The game only cares about your creep score and total damage.

Nothing else matters toward getting S.

You want S ranks? Go to normal draft and play any one champion in top/mid/jg and build Attack Speed+Crit and then become a farm bot and run away every time an enemy champion comes near you.

Win or lose, you'll get your S ranks.

Doing anything that might actually win the game is not considered by the grading system. I've been winning consistently as Wukong bot lane as of late. I generally have a good KDA, I take objectives, maintain an average 50% kill participation, avoid dying as much as possible, assist with drakes and baron as needed, roam to other lanes to offer assistance to struggling allies and help win what would have been a lost lane otherwise, and place vision down wherever I am farming or around drake/baron and end games with an extremely high vision score because I get a sweeper and buy control wards and duskblade helps.

What's my average grade? B+

Meanwhile I am trying my best to do everything the best possible, such as; get as much CS, the most vision score, the most assists/kills and yet I always get an A.

Sounds like you enjoy flaming your fellow junglers, you don't show any more things about him than his kda. Not his farm, build, runes, etc.

It proves nothing except overall Kha'zix junglers aren't that good so even 7/2/1 in 24 minutes is enough for S. Also as someone mentioned, junglers don't have that high dmg in short games.
