S harder to get with supports then before

I have a hard time getting an S with supports, much more then before. Games where before i'd get an S+ now i get between A- and A+.

I think the problem here is that before, the support item continuously gave you gold, while now it stops after a while. This means that the system that evaluates your play is not updated for the new season. It still has some old gold gain values, that are now not fulfilled thx to the new gold gain item functionality, reducing the overall score you get. Anyone else similar experiences?

I have noticed that I need a few actual kill shots now where before a good 20 assists was enough..

example Supp Senna/Lux is very easy to still get S, where on a Supp like Sona, almost feels like your capped at A no matter what

i play support alot, you cant get kill as tank support or that might cost you the S and with the reduced gold i think the overall average gold is still too high making it so getting an S without taking CS or massive assist is quite difficult, another thing i notice specially when playing ARAM is that the value of vision score contribute alot

You are usually given S-,S and S+ if you stomped the enemy technically. Supports are still in a more favourable position, because for them kills matter less. Healing, shielding, vision score, CC score matter more.

As support I can still get S rank as much as before this change.
