Why is it so hard to get an S or better as Jungle?

I just had a game as Rek'sai (look it up if you want). I went 9/1/5 and literally got all 3 lanes fed, and only got an A+. How the fuck am I supposed to get mastery level 7 tokens when a performance that high is still 2 grades below the mark for a single token?

44% kill participation, 3.7 cs/min, and 10 wards placed is not S material.

It comes down to farm and wards at that point.

I'm not sure how the grading system works. I got an S for playing Irelia in ARAM one time and I've never played her before (okay maybe like 10 games over the last 4 years.)

Then I can play a champion I've played a couple dozen times, play as well and get a B.

This is the worst punchline to a joke I've heard in a while

Getting an S on jungle is easy, just buy tiamat and hard tax every lane you ever find yourself near. Done!

performance is not just measured in kills. There are a number of factors. In season 6 I was jungle main and got S about 50% of games.

Know your champ. - Farm, ward, hit turrets, - and yes, get kills.

As a reksai if you got 9 kills and only 5 assists, you probably were intentionally just taking kills when other people did a lion's share of the damage (AKA stealing kills)

Sometimes the kills just fall that way. it's random who is the last person to hit a kill. But who hit the kill last is also basically irrelevant as to who did the work. The killing blow was only ONE HIT. I'd be surprised if the grading algorythm didn't take this into account.

Again, there are a lot of factors in your grade.

I don't know when I was grinding for my Skarner S's I needed to go at least 8/1 and 140+ CS. If I had 135 CS and 10/2 I would only get A+

vision score and gold earned matter a lot. You can I've not gotten S's for games where I felt like I was hard carrying because I was constantly in fights and cs was bad and vision score a bit subpar for me. I've also gotten S's in games where I didn't think I was even doing all that well (but apparently was at least in overall terms).
