I played Lux and went 26/1/42 and didn't get an S.....

I mean wtf??? did my 1 death cost me a S?
Am I missing something here This is not the first time I have gotten a really good score and no S

_ Edit: Note this was ARAM_

I mean, I know CS has a lot to do with champ mastery, but I mean for an ARAM that's really stupid. S+ worthy.

The one death shouldn't have mattered. I've gotten S-ranks on ARAM with considerably more deaths:

You only had 26 cs, but if you were support that shouldn't have mattered. If you were mid, you need more cs.

Dear Chubb100 ,

Some of your team mates had more kills than you and performed equally well. S is usually awarded if you are the top player in your team everything counts KDA all have to be best. Good luck and awesome stats^^.[zombie-brand-mindblown]

That's Lux on Aram, you need to do way more than that with that easy mode champ.

Zarkkast7/28/2016, 2:40:09 AM1 votes

Because that's ARAM and you only have 26 cs.

With your E you should guarantee at least as much as Jhin has.

I am not going to even bother trying to get an S rank anymore. Don't see the point if they put the carrot up so high

Not enough CS. CS matters in aram as well I think.

I go 13/3/28 on Corki and that gets an S...........

MissFortune in this match also got an S and she was 21/3/26.... So my kills, deaths and assists were better with my match with Lux but doesn't rank as high.......

There is no point in S rank anyway,

you died once.

That happens in aram. I had a game with Pantheon where I got only 1 death and I was snow falling and got an a rank in a ranked game. I got an a but not an s. I was close but no graves cigar.

yeah your 26 farm needs to be like 260

Your cs is low for Lux on aram. You'd want about 10-20 more.

Hmm; honestly, I play a crap ton of ARAM and I really can't find any reason why this wasn't at least an S-, if not higher.

At first I noticed you only had 2 damage items, a result of not buying more since you only died once, but even so you still did the second highest damage on your team. Your kills more than double your deaths and your assists were half the kill participation alone.

This defs should have been an S game if you ask me. I guess Riot has really high expectations for Lux on ARAM. (Or maybe they really value boots?)

Lux on ARAM :^)

Gotta do better than that :^)

For real though S is tough to get on ARAM. Probably intentionally. But it's also how it works; it's hard to stand out on a map you cannot guarantee your own farm (which grade puts a lot of emphasis on), and everyone usually always pitches in so you need ridiculous KDA to see S.

Much easier on SR where being good doing good things just ensures an S rank (even if your team isn't doing well ~ GL getting an S on aram without a strong team!)

There's probably too much emphasis on CS regardless of map though. However at the same time it is kinda nice because it makes S easily reproducible for me :)
