Champ Masteries rely a bit too much on CS

I think it should count CS and kill/assists as 1 criteria, where the more kills/assists you get, the less CS you need, and the more CS you get the less kills/assists you need to get an S.

Otherwise we get games like this one:

I was recently working on my champ masteries and I just realized that you really have to farm up a lot to get an S and that's not always realistic depending on how teamfights are going and how teamfight-oriented the game is. And no, that Trist was not me, but I think that champion masteries are really encouraging more AFK-farming than it should.

Yes, the picture I attached is old.

But I think that even in new games, the system encourages farming over everything else. I've gotten A+ scores with 17/0/1 or 16/1 in 20 minutes because I didn't farm enough - but if I get 17 kills in 20 minutes what time do I have to farm??? By the way those games were not old, that was yesterday.

By the way I think they changed the system lately because it seems 10x harder to get an S in August than it was in May or April.

Someone told me it wasn't always farm but sometimes gold per minute.

And I think I heard a rumor that placing wards may help aswell?

I have no clue.

Placing wards does help.

But I still think that the farm required is not always realistic. Yesterday I had a score of 17/0 in 24 minutes, and I had relatively low farm (about 78) because I was fighting in teamfights and had no time to farm. It was either A+ or S- but not S.

Again gpm.

Sometimes kills are good. But that's about the same as 16 minions. So if you don't get a kill every minute you actually lose gold per minute trying to teamfight.

And if their team isn't fed. They're worth less each time they die. So even a kill per minute isn't as great as farming.

My gpm was the highest on both teams. In fact my gold was double the average of the enemy team.

It's almost impossible to both farm, get kills, put down wards, and everything in a limited amount of game time.
