The grading system in league is broken

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

So I've recently got hooked to tank yasuo (I know I'm a filty player) and I've been enjoying it a lot, but the thing is in all of the games shown in the images, I never got 1 single S or S-, in the 22/6/21 game I got just an A while our 7/6/21 taliyah support got an S, in another game it was a 4v5 (we had the 4) the teams were unfair as they had a plat and such and I got a penta and carried the game, but nothing higher than an A+, I know this may all seem as just some dumb rambling and it basically is but this seriously needs to be fixed. And who knows, maybe riot hates off meta builds so much that they will never give an S if you are off meta.

Your CS is bad.

You say this but in 90% of the games I had most cs.

but if you're being graded on cs/time how does another champions cs have a factor?

It's based off more than kda ratios. CS, warding, wards destroyed, among other things because riot will not go into specifics about it. It also takes into account the champion you're playing and the role they are in. You're performance is then compared to all the other people that have played that same champion in the same role and gives you a grade for your performance.

So if Taliyah usually performs badly as support then it is easier to get an S rating.

I have had the same problem about getting an S rating with Caitlyn. I have had 27/2/10 and only got an A+ which is the exact same grade as the game before where I went 20/6/12 and had a pentakill. I did have well above average kda I had slightly below average CS for those games too.

I recommend checking out the champion stats for yasuo and going from there. Try having a higher than average kda, cs, and ward whenever possible and it should help raise your rating. Or you could just take yasuo to different positions.

Edit: fixed auto correct error.

You're graded based on how you do compared to other Yasuo players. The fact of the matter is, Yasuo typically gets quite a lot of kills and quite a lot of CS. In order to get an S on him, you're going to have to do better than the large majority of those people.

On the other hand, very few people play Taliyah and typically do poorly with her so it becomes much easier to obtain an S.
