S ranks and Champion Mastery 6-7
The metrics for S ranks need to be changed, especially since champion mastery levels 6 and 7 depend on them now. I've been rank 5 in Fizz for awhile, he's probably my favorite hero to play. Last night I decided I was going to try and get mastery 7 on him. Note, I've only gotten maybe 2 S ranks on Fizz before. So, last night. Fizz mid. 25 minutes and 24 seconds game duration, Victory. Record was 22/4/9, 80 CS. Had a 10 kill streak, got a quadra kill. I did literally more damage to champs than everyone on their team combined excluding Lucian. I got an A-.

Then earlier today. I essentially threw a won game and got an S-. 37:59 game duration. Defeat. 16/6/5. 140 CS. I eventually had to stop going where any of my team was, just so I could get CS. And my team lost the 4v4 or 4v5 fights. By the time I was comfortable with my CS, their team had caught up a lot. I shouldn't have to abandon my team and go farm creeps for a couple of minutes, just to make sure I get an S rank, that's outrageous. I threw the game away, and got rewarded for it. No one should have to throw a game to get an S rank. No one should be REWARDED for throwing a game. Any jungler that just constantly ganks, an ADC that gets an early double kill and can keep killing their lane opponents, won't get S ranks because they are getting their gold from being active and involved in the game so they have literally no need or time to farm creeps and is actually dentrimental to the team if they do all of a sudden stop what they're doing and go back to farming. If bottom lane has a highly active lane, and they are winning their fights, chances are they end up taking the tower out quickly, and then go middle, and so on and so forth. They already got a lead in their kills, so they don't need to farm creeps. But they won't get an S rank because farming creeps is more important than working as a team.
Second game where I got the S-: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2198652767/33390495?tab=overview
Oh, and I don't have the record for the game anymore, it happened about a month ago, but a stronger case for when CS matters too much, I had a 19/2/17 game as Fizz and only got an A+. 22-25 minute long game. My team's volibear also had a pretty decent game, like 9/6/11. Me and him were constantly ganking the other lanes. Everyone else on our team got S ranks because they always stayed in lane to farm. Whereas the game was won off the backs of me and him ganking.
