Is the grade system broken? or SERIOUSLY broken?

So, I just finished a Ranked game, where I was playing as Nami support. I did everything a support is supposed to do; ward, clear wards, help ganks, get support items, refresh pink, etc etc, I assisted on 20 / 33 kills of my team and my final score is.... = A = , yes not even S-, A?! seriously What the Funk!? the rest of my team got less than A+s except Aurelion (which ended 11/1/8) and got an S- (I mean seriously, S-?!)

Am I missing something or this Grade System is absolutely broken? Here's a SS from the final stats of that match, (yeah of course this isn't the first "surprise your grade sucks" match I get) Feel free to enlighten me if I'm missing something, but this seems pretty broken to me

18 wards for a 30 minute game isn't exactly impressive. The score does look nice, but Nami is also a fairly popular support right now. There are a lot of really good Nami players out there setting a high bar for everyone.

Supports kind of have it the worst with this system as it takes into account things like K/D ratios, warding, and farm. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as though they have it tuned for each individual role so which means it takes the same requirements for a support to get an S as does an adc. Jungle is also kind of that way unless they want to split push and farm up that way.

This would be less of an issue if things like unlocking box's were not tied to it... kind of makes it hard for supports and jungles (not assassins) to feel like they are being rewarded for the effort they put in.. wonder if RITO will ever balance for role, though that would make a "hard meta" which I don't think anyone wants...

Side note: I wish in the stats screen post game there was a tally for "damage mitigated" from shielding (black shield, Janna shield, etc), ults (kayle, kindred, etc) and such...

I have been wondering how the grade system works as well.. sometimes I do really well and get a B+.. sometimes I pull an S- and didn't really do much (imo) to earn it. You seem to have the highest participation on your team, no deaths.. I sure hope it isn't based on your gold, because if so that screws over supports pretty bad.

It's based on a curve. If you were to do the same as a Pantheon support you'd get S for sure, but there are better Nami supports out there than you.

It's also not based on KDA at all

Do you know if this is based on your current rank (bronze, silver, etc) or overall rank? I would hope it is split...

I believe it's mmr-based, but the official post about it says "all other players in that region" so I don't really know

18 wards isn't much for a half hour game and I know you're support but one vs every 2 minutes isn't good either. I play support and get s ranks regularly and will normally have like 70-100 because of clearing if camps and resetting waves when my adv goes back. Its not just kda
