Your mastery rating system has something direly wrong with it

I used to get a lot of S ranks on my other account when I was honestly not as good at the game as I am now, but on this account I've yet to get one S rank on shaco for mastery 7 over 72 wins and 54 losses, and to be blunt, great performances.

But I'm just a random nobody so I didn't put up a fuss but the jhin from my last match just went 12-0-11, almost highest damage dealt to champs, almost 21k dmg to objectives, 2nd highest was 14k.

They also had good farm, cc, vision, 4 towers and 1 inhib.

They only got an A+....

An s+ performance not even getting s-, bullshit, fix plz.

Someone told me rhe ranking is dynamic and based off role and performance of others with the same champ (I posted a similar question just recently) so the better the average the harder to s rank but I can't fully confirm if only riot was more transparent on the matter

Its either arbitrary values or off Averaged statistics right?

If its averaged then population and performance impacts averages.

Exactly but if it's gotten harder I'd assume it's arbitrarily based on the highest skill with a given champ or how hard they are to play but i agree it's far from perfect but S rank needs to be special i guess, I feel your pain I've had many a gane I absolutely killed it but got an a+ but I see newer champs lime Sena S rank for similar performance when the enemy team ff

For stuff like Senna for example, since one of my friends mains her, I can definitely tell you that the difference between him and random Senna players (both in my team when he gets put ADC or the enemy team) is super huge.

Since the system compares to the best performing players, and the difference between the good ones and bad ones is so massive, a good game will give an S by virtue of the bad ones being so bad.

On the other hand, on champs like Jhin or Shitco, it's so rare to see one doing poor that those "S worthy decent scores" simply aren't S worthy because everyone has them, so not only do you need to be good, you need to be a cut above the rest.

Riot have confirmed that for S-,S,S+ you are compared with other players playing the same champion in the same role.

You need to be in the top something(idk if they said a specific number)% of performances for that queue(if ranked, your rank also matters I think). That's why it is easier to get an S rank on off positions for example.

You just aren't S shaco material

Another Jhin did it better. Just because someone does well, doesn’t mean they deserve to be the best, or succeeded at being the best.

In all this I still think their should be a cap of how good one must be for an S rank especially for easy champs plus half the time the enemy team will f2f if you are on your way to S and there is a reasonable limit to how much you can do before the game ends and I think that's where the S rank requirements should cap to while still remaining dynamic overall for underplayed or high skill champs to have a chance
