S ratings on Bot ADC Twitches

ProphetStarrider··1 votes·404 views

Asking anyone who has gotten (or continually gets) S ratings on Twitch as the bottom lane ADC. I've struggled with it, usually only getting as high as A...mostly I figured it came down to deaths since Twitch is squishy as hell. But I just played a game and was convinced I was going to end up with an S rating (yeah, I know. Shouldn't have jinx'd it) and ended up getting only an A- I mean..when I first saw I didn't get an S, i figured hey maybe A+...but A-?! I went 13 kills, 4 Deaths, 13 Assists. And got a total of 9 buildings destroyed. Granted, my CS was low, so I am figuring that is where I lost out. I only had 141 CS...but it was still the highest on my team. In fact it was the highest in the whole game! Also giving me the highest gold collected.

I am at a complete loss for how I somehow managed to not get an S in this game. It makes me wonder if Riot is fixing it so you don't get free chests, and have to buy them instead.

So yeah...I am looking for people who play Twitch Bottom ADC to give me some advice and let me know if I'm getting close or not. Thanks.

P.S. Here is a link to the match http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2420166769/32626885

CS. If you aren't at least 60-70/10m you ain't getting shit.

Is that something that is tracked? Or are you saying if you don't have that many by that point, you won't have enough by end of the match?

CS and kda is meaningless, stop worrying about it, you're not losing out on a high grade just because of cs.

I've seen a game where someone with a kda of 1/9/3, he had 3.7 cs per minute, the game was lost, and he still got a S-. kda and cs simply don't seem to be a factor for mastery grades. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/cTJF3oUc-s-on-feeding-trundle

You should still want to get high cs of course, but only because it gets you gold so you can buy items.

Sadly Replay.GG doesn't work anymore so I can't see your game.

So is it just random then? Do I just play my best and hope i get an S rating? That seems kinda sucky...

No its not random, its definitely based on skill, Riot is taking in data on how you play and somehow spits out a grade for you. We just don't know what they look at, they call it looking at your "core metrics" whatever that means.

But when you look at certain games like the one I gave you a link to we can be reasonably sure that whatever "core metrics" are its got nothing to do with kda or cs, or at least so very little to the point where you should not worry about it affecting your grade.

But since we don't know what gets you a good grade its yeah just do your best and hope to get a S.

I wouldn't call it sucky, we never used to worry about this before we got graded, and now we get useless free shit out it so who are we to complain right?
