Are S ranks broken?

I'm starting to become concerned with how Riot does S ranks and I am thinking it might be broken somewhere. I have been playing Rammus for a couple seasons and I have had no problems getting s ranks before, but when Mastery 6 and 7 rolled out I have not been able to get them. I recently played a game where I did the best in all possible categorys except vision, which I was second in. I don't know what I could have done better, there was never a moment I wasn't doing something. What more could I have possibly done to get this S rank? I am starting to get legitimately hopeless over ever doing good enough for an s.

If you had died once or twice instead of four times, I think you may have gotten there. Deaths are weighted pretty heavily against you, especially in games that don't go long.

S ranks work based on how EVERYONE is performing on that champion in that role.

For instance, if most players are getting 10/2/5 KDAs on a champion the bar is set set to maybe 14/0/7 indicating you must do that to obtain the S. While the system was being primed many games needed to be played before the average could be obtained now it's pretty solid moving only with the skill of the player base. Same goes for CS/DMG etc...
