SHOULD WE CHANGE THE GRADE SYSTEM? (AKA a Tryhard Ranting About Why He Can't Get Above an A+ as Zac)

I'm not gonna lie, the grading system is messed up. Once, I got an S+ as Bard support getting 9/4/20, and basically just helping out my ADC and doing nothing else. Of course, when I go Zac jungle, ganking every lane, I get an A for 11/4/28, getting mid and bot absolutely fed, and winning the game 64/29... later, as Zac AGAIN, I get an A+ for 8/2/6 and 20 less farm. That's when I realized it... there are 2 types of champs who can get S+: Assassin mid-laners (Eg. Talon, Zed, Yasuo, Katarina, ect.) and supports (Bard .) Plus, the ONLY people I see getting S+ on a loss is supports. There was a period of time when I could consistently get good grades as Bard, and all I could think was "wow, I must be going against really bad players." But then, I started getting into support Poppy. Despite completely maining Poppy top lane, I was rarely able to get S- or higher with her. However, my FIRST GAME as Poppy support got me an S+. MY FIRST GAME. I dunno, maybe I'm just awful at CSing and that's why my grades suck outside of Supp. But still, I'm able to get good grades as Amumu jungle, even with not-so-good K/D/A's.

So... what's my point? My point is, I think we've all been graded unfairly. I've seen adc's go 30/3/10, and not even get an S-... because the Supp gets it.

Please--what's YOUR opinion on the grading system? What's the worst the grading system ever screwed you over? Please comment with your opinions!

I've gotten S in every role. It's not just assassins and supports.

Grades are based on your performance on the champion compared to others in your elo. If you don't perform better than most, you're not getting that S. It's more than just KDA.

Cs and kill participation is a huge part of the weighted grade. The Zac grade honestly makes sense, especially as Zac doesn't generate a lot of farm the later the game goes. Lots of assassins generate S games because of the snowball potential of the role. The support role is harder to grade with an automated system because you remove a large component of the grading system(cs) which tends to make the grade overly reliant on KP. The system isn't perfect but it is fairer than you think it is and does a good job of encouraging you to get better at things that will accelerate your growth as a player.
