PSA: Mastery grades are NOT about farming kills in complete stomps

Getting sick of seeing all these "OMG MUH KDA NO S+ F**K YOU RIOT" threads.

The mastery grades are NOT about farming kills in complete stomps. It is NOT about dragging a complete stomp out to 45 minutes to pad your KDA numbers.

You want your S? Push and take objectives with your gold and numbers advantage. CS to push lanes out for more map pressure. Use your FREE wards. Take towers. Take neutral objectives. Don't die so much. Objective participation. Do ANYTHING to end the game more quickly

So sick of these threads where one team is 10k gold ahead at 20 minutes yet it still takes them 45 minutes to end the game. Then they come here crying "WHY NO S+?!?!? STUPID A** GRADING SYSTEM RIOT IS GARBAGE!!!!!!"

You want to know why you didnt get your S?

Because you didnt deserve it

Time matters a lot; ending quickly does absolute wonders for your mastery grade.

tfw I went 2/2/8 on kha'zix before and got an S because I actually played the macro game instead of padding my kda

Eh CS is the most. Turrets/drags/kills/etc are just meh. You dont need to touch a turret, get 5+ kills, or have a dragon to get an S.

I still don't really know how it works on support. Kills (but mostly assists) do seem to be the main thing, but I think the game also really likes it when I ward everywhere like a paranoid hermit.

You want S on champions that are FOTM? Play them as a different role. It's extremely hard to get S on fotm champs because of the high standards. If you play them in a 'troll role' (only in normals plz), it becomes piece of cake. All you have to do is cs and not die, go even in lane and win the game (your own impact doesn't matter really) with a score of 4/4/7 you can easily get S- in this way.
