When I Don't Get an S...

Can you tell me what other players got more of? Kills? Assists? Gold? Towers? Less Deaths?

I'd love to know so I can improve.

You are also compared to the player base of your champion.

So, if I play Janna, and the average Janna goes 0-3-20, and I go exactly that, I probably won't get an S because even if I did play good, I did not outdo the average Janna.

Yesterday I got S for a 7-10-28 Nami game on the losing team. "Omg why you S rank on the losing team with double digits deaths???" -> because I got 7 random kills which is more kills than the average Nami, so the system calculated me as "better".

Well, tbh the scores do a poor job at telling you whether or not you played correctly (especially for support, I find, because kills seem to be very valuable even on them which is awkward), because no equation can take context into consideration... what if I died a lot more than the average Janna because I had to sacrifice myself? What if I have a low kill participation because I split pushed a lot as a top laner and we won through the sheer pressure I applied and that cannot be reflected in my KDA? etc.

You seem to get a lot of points just for good participation. As in, try to get a lot of the kills or assists that your team racks up, as well as at least assists on the towers, inhibitors, dragons, barons, and the nexus. These seem to greatly increase your score. You do not lose very many points for dying but you do lose a lot of points for the things you didn't participate in while dead. so keep that in mind.
