The Mastery system can be a bit of a weird bird at times when it comes to Grades. I don't think anyone has the 'exacts' but there's a fair amount known about things that influence your Grade. So I can help out a little bit. :3

-First and foremost; Grades are not comparable between different Champions and different roles. A 'Jungle-Warwick' uses an entirely different metric from a 'Bot-Ezreal'. Even with the same champion, a 'Bot-Ezreal' vs a 'Top-Ezreal' uses two different metrics for determining what Grade you get. Different roles have different score requirements. I 'think' it also factors in your role opponent as well, but don't hold me to that one.

-Another thing to remember is you're competing against every other player who has played that Champion in that Role. So if you're playing someone who is popular, can potentially gain lots of kills while getting few deaths, or any factor like that, the S-Grade is going to be exceptionally hard to hit because people have set the bar exceptionally high. (This doesn't even begin to count outliers such as 5-man groups intentionally funneling every resource possible into their S-designated teammate to artificially secure an S-Grade.)

-That said, there are a few points of improvement I can see for that game you linked. For one, your CS score is fairly average among your team and likely 'pretty low' for a marksman; which are expected to have the highest CS on their team by a pretty wide margin. Additionally, your 'Vision Score' (which also plays a significant part in your Grade) is honestly about as low as possible. You only placed 1 Ward that entire game (with your trinket's timer you should have placed at least 5 of those, if not 6); with zero Control Wards destroyed and zero purchased/placed.

If you want to reach that S start trying to land more last hits and be a loooot more proactive with your Wards. That should help you out quite a bit. [slayer-jinx-catface]
