If I get constantly get an S grade even after numerous defeats.....

Isn't this a failure on Riot's part in balancing the game around equal skill level opponents.

Side Note: Title is confusing so I'll rephrase it.

"If I can get an S regardless if the condition is a wins or defeat, isn't matchmaking flawed when I get opponents that aren't at my skill level."

No, it is a great example of why the grading system is NOT a good measure of how well you did that game and shouldn't be used for LP gain/loss.

Adding to that, if you're just looking to get an S you can play Tryndamere Support, you'll get an S almost every time because of the lack of people playing it.

Does it mean you're good at the game? No. Does it mean you're helping your team? No. Does it mean matchmaking placed you with worse teammates? No.

The Mastery System is a very rough way to evaluate your individual performance on that champion, compared to others on that champion. It is useless at anything else.

He's a troll

I don't think Hallbuster's a troll so much as they are someone who is willing to speak their mind and point out what they don't understand. Yes, he makes a lot of posts that people disagree with, but the intent seems different to me.

Your most recent game was a loss where you went Vlad and managed a KDA of 12/5/8 with solid CS. Unfortunate that you couldn't win that game, you may have deserved it.

Your second most recent game you went Lux support with ghost/heal, coin, and no sightstone. You went a startling 4/18/4.

Shitty games happen, I guess.

No, I sorta went YOLO at the Lux game because I knew we couldn't win. Could have prevented half of the deaths.

That's dangerously close to an admission of intentional feeding.

As long as it looks like I tried, it won't be :P.

Much like the Great Depression, you're in a bad place, and the only way you're getting out of it is if you start spreading the wealth.

Roam constantly. Not for ganks, but to send a message. Make this fruit loop remember that like Batman you're out there...waiting. If you don't help others get fed, you're going to lose. Beating the same idiot over and over in your lane isn't skill-less, you just capitalized on good luck.

I don't think that determines it, but match making for this game is awful
