Playing for a better grade, not to win
Appears to be much more common lately. People running from fights so that they do not mess up their KDA or maybe to get the S. Only come in for clean up or the sure thing.

But does it work?
It makes it harder for the team to win especially when you have multiple people playing that way. It doesn't help them win but does keep their KDA in the better range. I watch people get S and they aren't involved in anything the team does. The reward system appears to have KDA in its formula which makes people play a certain way.
Riot thinks obfuscating the system will keep players from trying to game it. They are so very, very wrong.
Introducing an aspect of the game that will motivate action on any basis other than what will earn a win is concerning.
I, for one, will not change my champion selection or my actions in game in order to benefit from Hextech Crafting.
