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

I keep having amazing games with Sona, like 1/0/21 , 1/0/13, and 1/0/17, all with 24-42 wards places, ALL support items, and even 1 game i took 60+ cs, incase it was due to CS. Ive played way worse games and gotten S and S+ but that was before i was banned. So does riot penalize people for being banned, by not allowing them S ranks. ive even seen screenshots online of games not near mine and S rank. What is going on riot, how do u explain this.

Seriously making me wanna quit.

sometimes more wards doesn't mean a higher vision score, and s is based around that champ being played. a recommendation is to start taking zombie wards and get your item 3364 ready

Im positively sure riot makes it harder on people to get an S rank if theyve been banned,

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.

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.

I just dont see why ive had worse matchs and seen worse matchs that i got an S rank for, and now that im playing her perfectly i cant get an S rank. 4 out of 5 of my last matchs have been perfect, ive tryed building her heals, and building her ap, ive tryed getting over 100 cs, and also getting less then 10 cs, i keep trying to play in her every way possible to try and get the S rank. like it would be helpful if 1 person could tell me what i need to improve? ive tryed everything. wards, cs, damage, turrets, etc.
