What if I told you that getting an S is supposed to be hard and that it's influenced by factors other than KDA.

While your point(s) are completely valid, since getting an S is required for the loot system, it really shouldn't be that hard.

Or maybe the requirement should be lower. Shouldn't take a completely stellar game to get a chest when getting one on a champ blocks them from getting more for an entire year.

That would make sense if it were just tied to the loot system but it's also tied to champion mastery so it has to be difficult. What really needs to change is the drop rate of keys and chests, because even if you do get an S you still aren't guaranteed a key/chest.

Yeah, on that last part I was referring to the loot requirement, not the S rank. Sorry for the confusion.

The real solution would definitely be to separate champion mastery and hextech crafting to make it less frustrating for everyone.

umm KDA matter very little in the end... for high scroes

CS and Wards are the difference between an A game and an S game

Keep in mind that the grades are all percentile based, rather than someone at riot declaring "For this Champion an S grade shall require at least X cs and Y KDA and...", so if theres a lot of really good performances on a champion by the community it can become relatively hard to get S ranks compared to champions where most people do awful.

Further remember that theres a lot more factors than just kda/cs, warding annd objective participation and various other things are also important.

edit: Also remember that role matters, as karthus mid is compared to all other karthus mids but not karthus jg or top. I expect he's mostly played mid so thats probably where all your scores are from, but it's worth noting that grading standards ccan change depending on your role.

I play a fair bit of karthus, I get S on him quite frequently. something along the lines of 23/9/14 and 350 cs in 50 min game would probably get you an S :P. But really and truly It's just the cs that matters... Most karthus players are farm bots... I mean.... 300+ cs. How do we get it so high? we are always stealing both our team's raptor camps and the enemy's raptors as well as pushing out the side lanes basically taking all the farm and forcing our teammates to clear our jungle (which they should be doing anyway)
