Characters for S rank?

Raksha·Apr 23, 2016·2 votes·1,433 views

I do admit i've started to get a tiny bit frustrated about my lack of success in my quest for an s class... especially when my friends seem to get them more easily when getting the same score i did. So, i've tried thinking about it with a different approach. anyone know champions which aren't that great or usually get lower scores so that i don't need a ridiculous amount of k/a to get an s rank? i know its supposed to be hard, but are there any champions that make it less frustrating?[slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Soraka, don't die, just assist, low deaths trumps everything

A lot more goes into getting an S Rank than kills / assists / deaths. It also accounts for towers, wards, non-tower objectives and farm. If you're looking for characters where it may be easier to get an S Rank, try characters that have power-farming potential and make sure you ward on cooldown / buy wards. You'll almost always get an S as long as you don't feed and you hyper push your lane.

The grade measures your performance against all other players of that champion/lane combo in your region.

Picking a different champion/lane will not in general make it easier to earn a high performance against the other players who use that champion/lane combo.

Yi. But here is the gig, instead of focusing K/D/A focus on a medium KDA while getting a high CS farm. I get them pretty regularly with mediocre KDA but very high CS (super easy as yi to farm).

Additional: Rumor has it that wards count as well, so spam wards all game even if they are not always in the ideal location (use non-ranked for this).

Hi! In my experience the easiest way to get an s is playing (correctly) an utility mage, especially as support ( for now I got it with soraka, lux, nami, Janna and karma) : Ward whenever it is possible, shield /heal your team ( lots of assists), always be there when your team takes an objective, farm when your ADC is in base, DON'T DIE. This will generally end up in a grade between a and s.

Play Shaco or Ryze in URF and it seems pretty easy to S-rank.

Normally though, just be with your team, present in every fight and in the taking of every objective you can. If you just do that, even if you died a bunch in fights your team lost and thus didn't get any objectives, you should get an S rank. Just don't die in fights your team wins since then you didn't participate in any of the objectives they got afterwards which is a huge penalty for your rating.

Or you can play a support and build full damage and take all the kills. It gives a good rating for this, too.
