18/1/12 Jhin on ARAM doesn't get a S

Ok so this is part me complaining/blowing off steam, which I do apologize for ahead of time, and part actually posing 2 serious questions. I just played an ARAM where I went 18/1/12 as Jhin. By any and all accounts it was a phenomenal game, better results than I've seen an Jhin put up on ARAM, but the match only got an A+...

That seems ridiculous that anyone can do that well on ARAM and NOT get at least a S. Other games I've played where I've gone barely positive with Taric, Nautilus, Thresh (I'm a sup main btw), Zyra, Kayle, and Zed has gotten me great scores. I understand that these champs are harder to succeed with on ARAM so a good game goes a long way, but it seems incredible to me that any champ with a 18/1/12 record wouldn't get a S.

Since this is weird to me, I have to ask, what exactly is the criteria for getting a S on ARAM? With wards not available and healing being reduced, it feels like damage, KDA, and objectives participation are the only ways to evaluate it.

Another question I have is, since extreme data is accounted for in evaluating a player and assuming there's no flaw in the evaluation system, should there be a regular reset of the system to flush extreme data from the system and keep the evaluation standards accurate to the median skill level of players?

Your farm is too low. With arams, if your KDA is great, but you're just shy of an S-, it's typically not enough cs.

Their cs is actually high for an ARAM where the match only lasted 16 minutes. Even had the highest cs out of all players in that match.

Yes, but it still is the overall factor at the end. Their KDA was above average. S- typically requires 65% kill participation that they reached. As stated there's no warding, and no objective control beyond turrets and inhibitors. That simply leaves cs.

There was a thread about a year back where the usual ARAM crowd was trying to figure out parameters for this sort of thing.

As an example, this was a S- game I just had with Zyra.
