I just finished an ARAM where our cait went 14-0-26 and only got an A+, wtf.

#RATINGS ARE NOT BASED ON K/D.

While true, too much of ARAM's rating is based off of CS. Damage dealt, damage taken, CC applied, etc make sense for ARAM, not CS.

And how do you know that? How do you know how much ARAM's rating is based on CS, so you can vaguely say it is "too much"?

How do you know the reason the player was disqualified was based on a problem with ARAM's rating being "too" reliant on CS and not the Cait's anemic damage stats, where a Caitlyn , a damage carry, did similar total damage to champions and LESS total inflicted damage than a 2/10, full-tank Poppy .

Because I've played enough ARAM to know no one gets S's in ARAM, and if they do it's because they got 80% of the CS or more.

So, anecdote. I'll see your anecdote and raise you one. That's not fact; I've seen otherwise.

But this is being sidetracked. The point is this Cait's game should not be considered S worthy based on one of your criteria, which I agree with.

My whole point is they need to adapt the aram rating system. If you do so well on a champ that you don't die and the game ends in 13 min it is literally impossible to get an s.

Part of it is probably the champions themselves. If 80% of the CS isn't uncommon on caitlynn, I wouldn't be surprised if CS is a major factor on that particular champion.

Over all, it does feel like getting an S rank in ARAM or LotPK, seems to be harder than in other game modes. But at the same time, I've gotten an S rank of a variety of champs, without particularly trying.

Who cares about ARAM rating anyway?
Cait is a very strong roll in ARAM and there are probably some Caits who could perform even better and since you get compared to other Caits, it's not unfair.
Idk why these kind of misconceptions about the rating system still exist, I guess they will never stop.
