I am a Bard main, and I want to know what it takes to get S on support. Could it be that Bard is just a little tougher than other supports to get an S on? I get S- all day, but only one S. Please review the link for some recent games of mine on Bard, all of which were S-, and tell me what I could work on.

P.S. My "Wards Bought" is low, but I use sightstone and my inventory is mostly full at all times so I don't always have room for a pink.

its hard to get a S on a Bard support because you are getting compared to other players who also play bard support. As a result its easier to get a S on off meta supports.

no one outside an actual rioter could tell you what u need to get a S instead of an S-, and im sure even that changes as more games are played with that champion/role.

If you are that good at bard I suggest trying bard in other rolls. They are only comparing you to other bard supports witch is allot, but if you played bard jungle... There isn't very many of those lol. I played with one today and he got an S, the whole time I was thinking... why is this working, but I guess the fact that his little things are in the jungle and his portal is good for ganking.. It actually works lol.

Gold earned.

In a 30 minute game, something like 11.5k is something you will want to aim for.

Pretty sure it's that because game 1, I did a lot of warding/ward killing, had a very good K/P and objective participation. That's an A+. Game 2, I literally got carried, have shit K/P, and didn't do much-- my mid, top, and jungler carried the game and I just sat there. S.

Did a little more analysis, but gold earned on supports is important.

UPDATE! I just got an S, and these were my stats....maybe it's because it was a super 420 score, idk. https://s16.postimg.org/3u1e1haat/image.png

Your cs is too low and you didn't get enough kills and assists to reach S rank. A lot of hitting S rank is by your gold per minute and if you don't reach a certain number then you won't get an S rank.

cant see the amount of wards placed/bought or destroyed or how many turrets /objectives you got credit in help taking. kill% is low ideally around 60%

wards placed /bought is part of it, kill%, cs, * i know your a support but yea * (i main support) if a turret is being taken or inhibs or objectives make sure u do something to get "credit" for taking it.

if you buy one pink early in laning phase and then one more mid-late game then you "average " when your full build late game its whatever... but at least 2 a game is what they are looking for. and sad to say damage dealt has something to do with it is why u see all the full ap mage supports over all gold income in game as well is considered but grades are based on how you did on a champ compared to an average for every one else on the same champ.

to get an S you have to do better then average

if they could change the algorithm they use based on role it would be better. so like heal provided, shielded ect for supports would make it easier.

I had a Zyra game where I got S+ and the only notable thing I did was get top damage, perhaps that's important? http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/2819813211/225020192?tab=overview
