The letter score system in endgame is flawed

I've noticed it more after I bought the Worlds Pass, but sometimes i'll do extremely poorly and get an unexpected S, which is nice. Other times I do amazing and I only get an A or and A+.

It's not the end of the world that I didn't get an S for the first game, but it's just annoying how Riot created the Worlds Pass around the idea of the score system, and it doesn't work like it should sometimes.

I get S all the time as a support with a vision score of 0. Dont think it actually counts for that much.

Your letter grade directly correlates to how well OTHER players score on the same champ, around the same rank, around the same game length.

In your first example, there are enough Janna players at your rank doing better than you in a 26 minute game for you to only get an A+ (which is still above average)

There is no set KDA gold or vision score totals that equate to a specific grade.

You might play another champ support and get the exact same score in the exact same length game and get an S+, or a B. It all depends on the avg score of other players with that champ.
