I've had this a few times now where people stop playing to win when they done really well (Fed, go CS) and only split push and saved there kda to get an S at the end? maybe this should be taken away when they obviously say 'I only play for my S rating now'

Imagine if they added a system to show KDA in your profile like in most FPS.

Maybe the final few minutes of the game shouldn't detract from the S. I say this bc if you're snowballing top but someone is inting, trying to teamfight will get you killed, so it's more attractive to keep killing their top laner or whatever. We shouldnt have to choose between an S and trying to help deal with the fed Vayne or whatever.

i had a teammate like that in RANKED one time ALL HE DID WAS FARM the bad thing about is he didnt even take any towers while farming nor did he ever group and help the team all he was doing to trying to farm for a damn S, was a 4v5 the whole game

That's why you're supposed to get Zz'Rot portal. Susan will farm it all game (as long as you keep putting it back) and never move. XD

technically thats called "afk farming". its actually a form of griefing, since they might as well have been sitting in a bush toplane the whole game if they didn't contest or take objectives with that gold.

non-support Problems. Our scores are determined by a D100. With S only on 13, 57, and 99. (>_>)

This is why the Ranked lp gain isn't based off grades. People play for themselves, not the team.

Getting fed off good creep score and not dying IS playing to win though

Not if it is currently a 5v3 and both their nexus towers are gone.

It depends if they are just "afk farming" or actually pushing, and if they are already at their full build.

One of the most frustrating elements of playing support. Getting an ADC fed, and then they get those $ signs in their eyes!

I tend to stop warding and pinging for these guys =) (still try and win, but if they abandon our team, they're on their own)

This has gotta be a normals thing. I have rarely ever seen this in ranked. I get a person like that about 10x less often than a troll or an afk. It's not that big of a problem.

I used to try to do that, then i realized i am a jungler and it doesn't matter how well i do in KDA or CS i will still only be rewarded an A+ Except for that one game where i went 0/0/2 with 50 CS and somehow got an S at 30 minutes, whyy whhhyyyyy i hate the whole S system it doesn't make sense to me.

In fact i am beginning to think the metric for getting S as a jungler is how many teammates and enemys assault, mock and threaten you in chat with /all being bonus points towards S, seems to be the only time i ever get S on junglers.

to be clear i believe the S system should value tower take downs and inhib takedowns FAR FAR more then CS because towers decide the game not CS.

are you talking about actually splitpushing, or afk farming? splitpushing counts as an actual strategy IF they are actually splitpushing (if they are actually pushing and getting towers).

The latter is called "afk farming", where you either just shove waves in sidelanes with no plans for objective control or destroying towers or such, or just straight up freezing the lane at the 40 minute mark.

Both of these versions of AFK farming are technically griefing, as they make it seem like you are doing something useful, when really you might as well be just sitting in a bush toplane at 40 minutes. (unless you really need more gold, which it may just be better to teamfight depending on the circumstances)
