[ Sorry Riot i posted this on a wrong Board... thanks for telling me that im wrong,i dont know that its a wrong Board...thank you Riot :D ] Hello LoL people im Hansdanoob and im a new player started on December before NewYear and i still dont know much on this game so.... This post i wanna know how i got these S things...

I have a Game that im playing Support Soraka supporting my ADC teammate Draven and then after warding so much and not letting my ADC die moments and after the game i got an S ... i dont know what i did on that game all i just did is Heal my Draven Teammate and others . Then my Teemo Game i have no idea why i got an S most of my games i only got **A-B or C my most common is B ** and all i did on that Teemo game is just not letting my Sivir ADC get hit or die, i only harass the opponent Yasuo and Cait and let my ADC get the Cs and i also want some Cs a little bit then we won the game becuase of my Teammate Ahri and Yasuo ... and my another S Game is playing Tristana i got an S with her last December...or January i think.I dont know how i got an S that time... i was so really nooby and worst that time but i have no idea how i got an S.

Anyone, how does this S or A-B-C-F thing works? im getting confused on this things? can you guys help me how this works?

You can look up specifc posts and FAQs about it and all that but here is the gist:

The grades are determined by comparing your stats in areas that are linked with good play on that champion for that game against the stats of other players in your bracket in similar games on those champions. Anything more than that is deliberately kept vague because Riot had the good sense to do so as to discourage players for playing for those stats and losing games for their teams.

Riot measures what they call "core metrics" so that, in their words, "so that if you're doing the right thing for your team, we're going to score you well for it." http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/bZL8vAWw-champion-mastery-qa?comment=00540000

You get compared to other people in your region who played the same champion as you in the same role as you, the higher your score amongst these people the better your grade will be. https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/204211284-Champion-Mastery-Guide

Also, there are a lot of people giving false advice, a lot of people believe that kda and cs is somehow a direct factor in your grade. These people are most likely wrong as it has been observed that a player can have a pretty terrible kda and cs and lose the game yet still achieve a S level grade. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/cTJF3oUc-s-on-feeding-trundle

Riot has also noted that even the best of players cannot consistently get the highest grades (though they do get them more often), which leads me to believe there is at least some degree of luck involved.

The true workings of the system are unlikely to ever be revealed to us, so the best you can do is just doing your best and not worry about it. Good luck.

It is completely random. I've gotten D's on champions when I was the whole reason we won. Gotten S when I just stand there AFK for half the match. If anybody tries to contest that it is anything but a completely random letter then I challenge you to a duel.
