because your farm was terrible... i really don't know how you can only get 131 farm as malzahar since all you have to do is just press w and e on a wave, and sometimes just e

If I'm ganking lanes every 3 minutes and raking in as much gold as I would from 3-4 lanes, that shouldn't count against me. What an awful system considering mages aren't supposed to focus on farming as much as they are killing.

It also factors in how well you're doing when compared to the community as a whole playing Malzahar Mid.

So my response to this would be: Mages' function is larger than just killing. And Kills are never as limited as waves of creeps. So you could have gone 0/0/0 for 35 minutes and then over the subsequent 5 minutes get 20 kills. But you can't have 10 cs for 35 minutes and then suddenly get 130 (since only 6-7 show up every 30 seconds). So CS you get over the course of the game is a more reliable demonstration of how well you manage your lane.

Besides, mages also split push very well, and they wave clear. Mages are synonymous to me with Wave Clear. For a mage that's 20/0, you barely cleared any waves.

Obviously he was doing a LOT of roaming, hence the 20 kills.

CS also counts (131 min 30 is pretty bad) But yeah, the system sucks

Because there are wack-o malzies out there that got a sick score like that and then stole the farm from the people they ganked for thus keeping their farm up. Or something like that. Maybe its cause you didn't upgrade your booties. Who knows. But there were some malzies that performed better than you in "similar" situations.

I'm going to guess your CS could be higher.

Honestly I don't know.

Well, what was your damage to champs? Did all the other players on your team do equally as good? Your farm could've been a lot better.

It's entirely possible that because of the Yorick damage bug your damage was interpreted by the system as comparatively low, so you weren't given an S rank. Other than that possibility I would've assumed that you would get an S- or higher, unless farm is still the problem.

No I dont think so: I got an S today with Yorick in my team as Brand, I went 12-7-9 with 250CS at 40.

IMO, OP got just an A- because his CS as Malzahar was ridiculously bad compared to avarage. xD

cs, wards, kill variety, kill locations, kill participation, damage dealt to champions, turrets taken, help with drag/baron, etc.... all goes into it.

Shit farm.

Farm needs to be mega-high, you need to participate in taking objectives(towers, dragon, baron), you need to ward, etc. Then you'll get an S. Not an S+, just an S. Because rito.

You have no farm; but since you have frost queen's the game might also think you are a KSing support since you got no assists and a billion kills (Do not actually do support Malzahar)
