Ok so with this new hextech system it's important to get an S grade. But i'm finding it hard to get above a B all the time even if i do rly rly well... Anyone else having this issue?
BTW i mean the support role!
Hethalean3 votesYes, unfortunately, deaths cost you greatly. One of the support's jobs (in my opinion) is to trade his life for a carries if needed/possible. That being said it's not supposed to be willy nilly. However, if someone should be dying, it should be the low income champion.
It almost discourages that sort of behavior which might lead to your carry dying a few times more which can really make or break the game. However, it does encourage you and your ADC in laning phase to be a lot less risky so you're not forced to make the choice of you or the ADC taking the express lane back to fountain.
On the reverse, warding DOES also account for a hefty chunk of your grade. So many ADCs do not ward at all (or simply drop one early). I've never seen an ADC get an S rank if they are not warding even if they go 15/0/15.
Ward up, play safe-ish, and have a great game. :)
4th Chiming Lamb3 votesI've gotten three S-es with a Support ever since Hextech Crafting came out. Two were on Braum, who's job it is to make sure people don't die, and one was on Morgana, who helps kill people. It seems pretty fair to me, to be honest.
Lapis2 votesNo, I'm not finding it hard. I just had a game just now as support and got an S. Keep at it, you can do it! :D
Hooksus2 votesare you a support main? that's not really an issue for me. you can only get a chest every few days (6 I think) and getting an S once every six days as support seems normal. I'm a support main so I think it fits very well with the role, no cheating out the supports here.
Summerjayde1 votesyes i main support. but im trying new people out in the role. perma blitz and thresh got a bit boring so turned to karma and soraka for some fun. maybe thats the problem
alasarcher1 votesI got S grade on Leona and Morgana supports yesterday easily. U actually need to be good as support.
Summerjayde1 votesTY for the feedback. guess i'm just unlucky atm. I have noticed that tank types seem to get higher grades. maybe time to unbench the kench brush off the braum and get hooked on thresh for a few games. TY to all :)
Ravenhale1 votesI've earned four chests already this season and was awarded a fifth when I happened to be playing Irelia while someone from our group pubstomped. All my chests were from playing Supports (I think Annie, Sona, Orianna and Karma). I've earned S ranks on Soraka, Lulu, Morgana and Lux but was already at my chest limit. I have yet to get an S rank with Leona because I do way too much dying for the team as the Tank (but I have gotten S ranks prior to the HexTech launch so I know it is doable).
I got two S ranks last night (one was a loss with Annie), and I find the key is watching your Death count and warding often.
Edit: Quick clarify about the Death Count. Try to aim for a KDA of 4. Naturally as Support, this will mostly be Assists. You don't want 1 for 1 trades if you can avoid it.
Aeolian Melodies1 votesS- and S are relatively easy unless you die a lot without providing kills/objectives for your team. S+ only happens if you get an awkwardly high amount of kills on a support that typically gets a low kill count.
Druidfluid1 votesi went 15/0/15 in mid as velkoz and i tripled everyones dmg and i was second highest cs and i got an a+ plz send this shit to riot its so bs most unfair crap iv ever seen :(
Aptest1 votesno. getting S on support is super easy.
