Why am I losing with A and S scores ARAM

My last 100 games I've won only 40. I had 40 wins over my losses and ever since then the last week it seems like all I get is clusters of losses with 1 or 2 wins spread in while I constantly make As and Ss. I' 90% sure it's just Riot trying to ground me to .500 w:l ratio but I dunno what else I gotta do to stop losing 5 games straight

probably because individual performance matters even less in aram unless you're some crazy teamfight carry champion. it's constant 5v5 gameplay. i doubt the game's systems for determining A and S ranks are as accurate to what creates actual wins in ARAM as they are in rift. a large part of what you're doing to win in ARAM is choosing the right champion to best complete your team in each individual game. if you go for highlight carry champs as often as you can get em, you're more likely to have nice scorelines and good game grades, but probably less likely to actually win, because there will be more scenarios where the enemy team gets a better comp than you because you chose to go with ezreal on a team of 3 mages and lucian when nautilus was available, and the enemy team has a tank, a bruiser, an enchanter support, and 2 high damage carries.

maybe that isn't the case for you and you do pick to round out your team as best as possible, in which case it is totally possible for you to get an unlucky streak of teams in the span of 100 games with 40 wins. it's just more worth spending the time reexamining the way you choose champions and how well you play for ending the game vs getting kills and stuff, and how often that might have lost it for you.

whatever your actual case may be, hopefully you'll have better luck in your future games.

I was at 40 wins a week ago now I'm at 18...wtf is going on with this game? Why do I get 3-11 Xayahs and shit comps in the most 1 sided bs matches? You expect me to not get toxic after facing these toxic shitheads who think they're better for outcomping me? I'm tired of this shit but I'm addicted. Fix your shit game

ARAM is all luck. SR is too to a certain degree, but much more so in ARAM.

Lots of games are decided in champ select. Lots of people are getting champs they don't play. Lots of people don't care to win and run it down. Lots of people afk if they get a champ they don't want.

40% win rate isn't terrible given the randomness. I have a roughly ~20% winrate.
