Riot why are you purposely not giving me my final S rank on Sona, since ive been unbanned!

{quoted}

Ah the struggle for S ranks as a support. Its a pretty annoying thing. I remember trying for rank 7 on Bard earlier this year, I got so tired of Bard that I still don't want to play him much right now. It's literally all luck.

that makes me feel a bit better, it jsut sucks when u look at ur performance and u have no clue how to better your game play in any way.. ive had S+ on sona with lower gameplay

You're Sona, get more than one kill =P

I've gotten tons of S-grade past what I needed for rank 7. Build full AP and pop some bitches. It's a reasonable build for her as a support, and it'll get you the stats you need. Redemption is a sweet support item, but it doesn't pad your stats all that much. Sona's Q+power chord alone can nearly 1-shot squishies in the mid-late game. Try something like Eye of the Watcher -> Lich's Bane -> Luden's -> Rabadon's, you'll hard-carry games like crazy if you space yourself well and don't get deleted.

It's not necessarily the best way to play Sona, but you gotta respect that the grading system pits you against others on the same champ, and since Sona has such a high potential for kills, having only one kill might not get you there. If you dig around in my match history, you'll see a couple Sona games from about two weeks back where I got an S for going 8/5/20, followed by an S+ for 6/0/19, and getting among the highest damage dealt in both games, while also doing warding stuff.

So instead of my normal sightstone,athenes,redemption,ardent. play a few games of rabadons,morelloes,and ludens echo.

so this is the second time i heard this info, so riot would rather me build ap sona, which will in return prob steal kills and lack healing capability . Great system riot, almost as broken as your computer generated ban system.

Ok so i just tryed that strategy and went 5/0/13 as sona, and still no S rank, rlly positive riot is trying to screw me...

Riot lacks a motive to do so. They aren't vindictive with their punishment system, because that would be unnecessary and would be bad for business. Punishment starts when you receive a restriction or a ban, and it ends whenever that restriction or ban has completed.

Punishing players in convoluted or unannounced ways would do nothing to affect their behavior that they were punished for, thus it is counterproductive. Riot doesn't like to waste time on counterproductive measures that take lots of man-hours to implement.

It is highly unlikely that they are doing anything just to spite you. What you are experiencing is confirmation bias. You jumped to a conclusion and are now using every instance of not getting an S as "evidence" that Riot is spiting you. You're assuming that every time you don't get an S Riot is steepling their fingers and laughing evilly. Trust me, they aren't.
