Dear Riot, Please fix the player ratings.

Alright, I am a Jax jungle main (unranked because I'm fairly new and don't have level 30 yet), and I just had a game where I was Jax, as jungle, on a team with a Teemo mid, a Vayne ADC, a Taric support, and a Gnar top lane. We were against a Braum support, Kennen ADC, Lee Sin jungle, Fizz mid, and Gragas top. Now, you'd think that even on a character as broken as Jax (at least the way I play him), with that lineup, I would be a not very major player. The game started off kind of even, but I kept getting successful mid-lane ganks, and their jungle didn't have smite, so before long I had a 3 level lead on poor Lee Sin and then I realized I was 7/1. I decided I was doing well enough to build full damage, and ended with a Stalker's Blade- Bloodrazor, Mobility Boots, Luden's, PD, Statikk Shiv, and Morellonomicon (not bought in that order). I ended the game 32/5/4 I had over a third of the total kills in the game. The entire rest of my team only had 2 more kills than me. I dealt the most champion damage in the game, clocking in at 55k. I didn't really feel the need to get objectives because before the 20 minute mark everyone on my team was fed, so I only killed one dragon, and got greedy, getting myself killed and handing a dragon over to them on my attempt at a second dragon. But still. That is one misplay, I think there was one other where I got greedy and dove an inhib turret to try to kill Fizz. Thought my burst would be enough and then I could q out. I didn't get an S. 32/5/4 and an A+ is all I get? ALL I WANT IS AN S! I'm sure other people have had similar experiences to this. I swear this game is going to drive me insane.

When will people learn that kills aren't as important as warding, CSing, or going for objectives? Seriously, kill do not mean shit compared to what I mentioned.

Those are important, but at 32 kills, it's kind of stupid to not get an S

I agree that they are very important, but at the point where you legitimately have over a 6.0 KD and you don't get an S? That's ridiculous. I also warded quite a bit and grabbed 3 turrets. My CS at 32 minutes was 102, which isn't great, but I was mostly focusing on fights after I got as fed as I was.

CS is what brought you down then. Exceptional play isn't defined by murdering the enemy a bunch, it's about being efficient in everything including murdering the enemy. It sucks to not have an S, but other stats have to matter otherwise people won't end games.

I just think they should have player damage and kills weigh far more than they do as of right now, because CS is great but its kills that really snowball a game

And kills for good score encourage terrible play, which is essentially camp kills, which not only turns the enemy into worthless amounts of gold, you will be more time hunting than farming, which gives you more gold than kills.

Yes but to begin snowballing you need to outplay people, which encourages smart and skilled play.

Which Riot cannot detect. They can barely detect what lane you're in, to detect every skill and outplay would be beyond arduous.

Fair. I just think that games where you blatantly dominate should be S games.
