It's cause the Corki didn't buy a trinket. As a support, you should have bought one for him because he needs that extra bit of help /s

Sarcasm aside, he has one though, it's just out line because he has less items than everyone else.

Excitidly Insane3 votes

Well spotted lol I assumed he didn't have one. Gotta look closer next time.

By the way, did you know if you leave base without trinket it will automatically spawn the yellow one. It's almost impossible to not have a trinket xD

Where the heck did you hear this? It's not true.

Yes it is. It was in one of the last few patches.

If you're referring to that Siv HD video, he blacked out the trinket slot, and then removed it on command. It didn't auto buy.

Try it right now then, it works trust me. I saw the Siv video and me and my friend started doing it, messing with other people in our games lol

Show me a link where that shows when they changed it.

I actually can't find it in any patch notes :S

It works though, try it in a custom game real quick or something. I would make a quick video but I'm in school atm

It actually does work. I just dont bother to buy it in store to save time, and i believe its just as you pass the inhib turrets, little past that, in any direction, it puts the yellow one in your inventory. item slots? whatever you call them.

You have to get a few kills and 20+ assists for an S rank. I've gotten S ranks with Tahm and Nautilus.

Even if it's for the support role? I thought the game checked which role and lane you were and awarded a grade based on your role. I mean... I got a lot of S grades on my Sona and Karma because I got a toolkit to get kills, but with Janna? The toolkit is one of the most selfless in the game beside Soraka.

DeathBurst10 votes

Actually Riot refused to reveal the exact criterion used in the grading system, but I'm pretty sure kills are given too heavy a weight, even for supports. My roommate plays a lot of Zyra support, and KS a lot, and received a lot of S grades that I didn't think were really deserved.

Also, if I remember correctly, the grading system is supposed to compare you with other people, it's not an absolute grade base on raw numbers. Possibly, the exact same game played a couple of months apart could get you different grades, because the average level of the community has increased in-between. And I think it compares you with other people who play both the same lane AND same champ, so if you play some off-meta pick well, it can be real easy to get S grades, too.

dude im stressing over this last placement game...i thought i was in good shape for mmr on op.gg...i found someone that placed silver 5 with a higher mmr rating on op :( SOOO much sad face![zombie-nunu-tears]

FHMarshy2 votes

So i chanced upon some post today explaining the rank system. Thing is, the highest people can achieve on their rank is Plat 1, meaning everyone that were diamond 5 and higher are all cramped to plat 1 and below and subsequently shifting everyone below down a full tier. However, once people start playing more and more, it will climb back to normal

Oh thats playing dirty right there....If i place bronze, i swear to everything holy in this land i will not sleep until i get out ! i absolutely refuse to spend one more day there.

What do you have against mud? Mud is a very important part of the ecosystem

And this is why the new Hextech crafting is a bit of a joke. For supports, it's harder to get an S than other roles. I'm not saying it's a lot harder or impossible. But games like this show the flaw that happens in the system.

Hello I am Bird1 votes

If all goes well, you should be getting your ADC an S, which also gives you a chest.

Retillin1 votes

Only if you queued up with him/her. If you didn't then the S doesn't matter to you.

Hello I am Bird1 votes

Fair point.

Athenes Lulu4 votes

Because you didn't have any kills.

Seriously though, all of my S+ games AS SUPPORT all have at least 1 or 2 kills.

These are my scores (and they are all support games): 4/3/27 8/5/25 2/3/29 4/3/31

Yes, because the way Rito "grades" things are very rigged, especially when it comes to supporting.

Krigjer3 votes

I stopped paying attention to grades. Doesn't even matter to me, I'll decide if my KDA was good or not.

I'm not even sure why grades exist. They're supposed to help you want to improve, but then you get games like this where 'My KDA was amazing, why is my score so bad!' and leaves you baffled.

Maximum Morde2 votes

Janna is really easy, so lots of people do well with her which makes it harder to achieve S. You basically have to 1v5 Pentakill with your Tornado to get an S- with Janna

I hate my ADC4 votes

Janna easy? Yeah no.

ChaoticPinecone1 votes

nice response. but unfortunately for you, he is partially right - the reason why you didnt get an S+ while going 0/0/17 is because the system calculated that you just arent doing as well as other Jannas.

https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/204211284-Champion-Mastery-Guide

The relevent bit: "This is percentile-driven; earning a high score means you performed in the top x% of players in that champion/position combination."

So if you didnt get an S+, that means the algorithm riot uses tells them that your janna play just isnt S+ material. So maybe, just maybe, shielding your ADC in a stomp to go deathless but with a bunch of assists isnt good enough. Maybe wards placed? Wards cleared? Damage? (remember, its compared to other Janna Supports around your rank, so youre not competing against carries).

LVL 5 PORO2 votes

You didnt upgrade your trinket

Canidae2 votes

My guesses are that:

  • needed more gold income
  • higher % kill participation
  • dmg output is a big one (harder to do as Janna, but still a thing I guess)

I have an example (S rank as Nami): http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2073882183/1?tab=overview

  • 72% kill participation (5/1/21) winning 14-36 in a 34 min game
  • earned more gold than entire enemy team (w/ 11 cs)
  • out DPS'd 3/5 opposing team members
  • wards might be a factor (i dunno XD) placed 37 in that game cause I was also using blue trinket

Ratings are based off of time. So for 33 minutes, you had below the average amount for Janna in several areas which can include damage dealt, damage taken, gold earned, creep score, kills, damage healed, etc.

Deaths and assists are only two of the many slots looked at, and honestly for Janna that's not that special. She has the highest average KDA of champs for a reason - she is incredibly safe.

Ryvaku2 votes

I know your problem. You forgot the most valuable thing to do. Ahem.. Wait for it...

UPGRADES! You failed on your booties and your trinket. You only get an A+

Maratsune2 votes

Support main, I never got an S+ until I decided to start playing ADC. I'm a bit annoyed by how the new Hextech crafting is going to give rewards based on those grades.

i get it all the time on sona and braum.

Maratsune1 votes

Lul, I can't tell if this ks'ing joke was on purpose or not. I'm going to go with yes xD

TheEvilQueen1351 votes

i'm being serious. usually i end up with 2-5 kills(usually after adc dies or something. with sona accidental ks'ing does happen tho) and if i have under 5 deaths and a good amount of assists s+

Carl Jungle1 votes
  1. Compared to the rest of your team you did not do much better;
  2. You have no kills of your own;
  3. Your level is low;
  4. Your gold is low.
  5. Most likely your objective destroyed participation was low also..... Number 5 was probably the biggest killer for you.
DrProfVibeCheck13 votes

The OP was playing Janna. Of course she won't have kills, a high level, or gold. She's support.

Also, whats the point of Janna AAing a tower or inhib when her AAs do no damage. She's better off making sure enemies don't get to the carry thats takin down the tower.
