Do supports get a better chance at s if they get more kills?

I'm just wondering this because my friend is trying to get tier 7 nautilus and is holding me against my will to play with him every night until he does, so I was wondering if this works, so I can let him have the kills and get tier 7

never die try to get a 50% kill participation.

kills definitely help though.

To increase the chances of getting an S? Yes. Just make sure to farm up and last hit too, but do it when appropriate.

You know what, just try to earn as much gold as you can.

Short answer, yes, the grading system rewards supports who steal kills from their adcs.

No. Riot specifically set kills to the exact same value as assists in the support role

If you want an S here is the best way to go about it.

  1. Get as much CS as possible.
  2. Don't die if you can help it.
  3. Help take towers,Dragon,baron,Inhibitor.
  4. take any kills you can.

Side note, Aim for at least 240 CS a game, have less then 1/4th of your kills in deaths. Attempt to last hit towers.

I main support. Kills means nothing. Multiple times i went with 0 kills but some deaths and many assists and get S. As with Nautilus I found very hard to get S and I realized why - he is classified as tank, not support.

no, kills and assists are weighed the same

OP if u want a shortcut, you could play 3s blind pick twisted treeline to get that s ranking

why? because some scripting bots have recently mass invaded 3s blind pick normals, there appears to be at least 1 every game and I don't know why riot hasn't disabled hextech drops from the 3s yet.

It depends. I've hit my S's by:

  1. Reducing my deaths. Really important for supports.
  2. Assisting and killing. More the former.
  3. Placing lots of wards and also destroying wards. Especially the latter.
  4. If I played a healer, lots of heals were given. If I played a tank, then I took a heck of a lot of damage.

If he wants an S so badly on Nautilus play Nautilus top.

Play him top, you will get more Kills and more cs.
