S rank isnt just based on KDA

Vision score, cs and objectives is also a big influence

I havent seen the match history for it but if you spent all the time running around hunting kills and ignoring turrets and farm, you wont get an S

that could definitely be it.

my vision score was 43, cs was 138 (which was the same as the person i was laning against), and i think i tried to help with objectives as much as i could but that was probably lacking.

Depending on how long the game is 138 can be high or very low.

the game lasted 35:31 so honestly, it does make sense that cs played a big factor on not getting an S.

It's almost always CS when people with lots of kills are confused. People mention ward score etc. which yeah helps, but CS has always been the largest factor. Well, that and not dying. It's not so much how many kills you get as how few deaths.

In summary: Don't die, get some kills (after a point it doesn't seem to matter) drop 2 pink wards, and be super on top of lane pushing/cs start to finish.

Cs is definitely the problem, trying to remember my S games I had atleast 160 or so at 20 mins, You have to completely dominate since ranks is based on the average champion performance at the elo. Since lux has her e thay can take out all the casters in one you will need alot of cs

I'd wait for this

Final Spark (R) [Removed] reset mechanic Cooldown lowered from 80/65/60 to 80/60/40 AP ratio increased from 75% to 100%

That way you can get 45% CDR+Ultimate hunter and spam ult minion waves as your ult will refresh faster than minions.

They also may release a new skin called minion smasher lux which will do 1 extra damage to minions when ulting them.

The key is to get a lot of vision score, not actually...drop wards.

I recommend across from red as soon as you can. You'll see every time the enemy does red and he will very rarely see it until you have them pushed into their base.

Also, legit after you do it a few times you'll probably never stop because it tells you what side of the map the JG is on at all times which saves both your life, your tops life, and if your bottom has any sense, their lives.

An alternative that's closer is here, it won't spot as much, but should get some ward score on scuttle and maybe save your life on a gank or two, but you're lux, who needs that crap? You want ward score not wards.
