How would it be harder? You are still being compared to other support players, maybe you just need to do better as a support?

Steal two or three kills, don't die. The S rank is yours.

I have a way easier time with support, usually get between a+ and s on rakka and taric

It's situational. Supposing you're an average player- what you need is to be in one of those games where your team is winning by a landslide- but the enemy team doesn't surrender. This gives you not only time to multiply your stats, but the security to not get killed.

Kills/Deaths count. Coming out 'possitive' as a support seems to do the trick.

Also assits- in the 20 > 30 range.

Damage dealt counts too- I played Sona support, they forgot to build MR, guess who gets an S?

If your team forgets to waveclear- go and farm. With your support. Yes. CS counts. Use the coin that would've otherwise been wasted to up your kill potential.

And don't forget to ward- I've missed out on an S grade on Thresh because my team was stomping so hard there wasn't even a laning phase, and I was needed for my peel. Not a single ward all game --- the shame!!

Another trick you can do is to play an off-meta pick, as it'll be measured as 'X champion in the support role' specifically. I'm not sure I'd be satisfied getting my S ranks on a champ that way though.

I'm on the opposite side, as long as my ADC/JG are at worst average, the "S+/-" is easy to reach.

If I play top/mid I feel that my patient play style makes it too hard to get that "S+/-". I'll most be at an A/A+. My warding and farming will be okay for an S-grade, but my KDA usually looks like 6-6-22. Even if I bullied my lane and are 3-0 in towers, I just don't get that S

Support S grades are way easier since you dont even need CS to do it which weighs super heavily on other roles. Can be like 18-1-10 on a carry farming champs but if you have 100 CS you dont get S

Got autofilled yesterday and got an S+ as support. Idk didn't seem any harder than any other role to get a good rating.
