This should have been S rank

Rezandra·May 10, 2015·2 votes·7,020 views

I'm not going to pretend I am a League master that belongs in Diamond (though I really do belong in Diamond), but I would think that being a jungle tank and having a game like this, the rank should be S.

Is it because I didn't get any double kills or something like that? I always thought if the jungler was a tank, then he shouldn't be getting all the kills. He should be doing his best to let the laners secure them.

And if it's because I didn't get a penta, well just screw you Riot. Nobody is going to squeeze a penta out of tank Nautilus. In my opinion, I deserve an S rank for this game. And this isn't even the first time. I had an even BETTER game than this with the same champ and same position. Sure, that was an A+, but it was yet another time that I said "Why isn't this an S?" I swear to god if a Katarina goes 7/26/10 and get's an S rank because of one penta, I'm gonna be pissed.

I've gotten quite a few S ranks as Mord. You have to do well in all aspects of the game, ward often, get credit for knocking down your lane turret, get loads of CS, kills and assists are nice.

That game is an A game imo, you went 2 - 0 - 11, which is damn good for a Tank jungler, but keep in mind you were only a part of 13 of the 25 kills, about half. Normally junglers and supports have the highest K+As from what I've seen, then mids+adcs, then top laner. You have access to the whole map and could have possible made more plays in the games eyes. I also have no idea how much you warded. Any way, great game, always room for improvement.

He's not the support, so who cares about assists? Kill participation is an overrated statistic, I don't understand why the shoutcasters keep highlighting it during pro games.

If you are a tank jungler and have a lot of kills, you are doing it wrong. Assists matter ESPECIALLY for the jungler for the same reason as the support, the jungler is meant to give kills to laners and snowball lanes. They are not meant to carry in the sense an ADC would, they don't have access to enough farm to do so.

An 11-0-2 Nautilus < A 2-0-11 Nautilus. You want your carries to have all the kills so they can get their items more quickly so they can carry you. Would you rather have a fed Jinx/Vayne or a fed Nautilus?

K+A matters because that means you were actually a part of fights and helped your team win. As a jungler, you should be all over the map forcing flashes and getting your team fed. The guy that went 6-0-0 by dominating his lane but spent the rest of the game farming top lane didn't do as well as the 2-0-11 jungle Nautilus who was ganking everywhere and got his ADC fed. 6 k+a shows he wasn't making as many plays as the 13 k+a guy.

You're right about warding. I just stuck to a pink and my trinket. I'll start warding a bit more and see what happens. Thanks for the great posts dude. Very helpful.

LOL reminds me of a time I pulled off a succesful chain of ganks as . Problem was I got the kill in every single gank, and by midgame I was about 9/0 so I had to carry. I ended the game 28/4 but carrying as a close range bruiser wasn't easy, and in the end I wish I had given my teammates more kills.

If you play Hecarim MasterYi Jax jungle then all the worry about taking kills disappears =)

Just one more pointless thing for LoL players to get their panties in a twist over. Mastery score means nothing people!

that is the fate of every support/tank player

Champion mastery grades you relative to other people on the same champ, you're not getting S rank because other Naut players do better.

I was playin with my brother today and he was Cho'gath and he went 14/0/6 and he still only got an A+ so this system is whack

You need to be in a team in order to get the S rank ( team bonus) ... It's actually really easy to earn. I just watched a YouTube video of a guy getting it.

Longer games also give you more points, for some reason. At least from what I've seen.

i went 13/0/12 as diana jungle and didn't get an S rank, just went 23/4/8 and still did not get an S rank, i think it's because my cs was only 106 for a 31 minute game, but jungle doesn't get as much CS as other roles. so.... i mean, c'mon. put a different set a rules for jungle. 13/0/12 carrying your team and then going 23/4/8 carrying your team when all 3 lanes are getting wrecked, then you gank gank gank and single handedly win the game by getting yourself fed and getting other lanes caught up? deserves an S rank, but i only get A+.

Once i was 51/12/16 in a one for all game (kata vs kata) my team was feeding and some people had 5/24/x and i was carrying the game. After our nexus was down at 100 hp we got an ace and turned the game. the game ended after 1h and 14 min and my final rank was A+. ( i had 200 farm 2)

I am really starting to think that kata is the hardest champ to get s rank with. doesent matter how many kills or how much farm i get as long as im under at least 30 kills with kata i just cant get s rank. in my latest game i went 40/2 and then i got s. that should be s+ in my opinion.
