It's way too hard to get an S playing support

So, I recently bought Bard and despite having insanely good games, it took me something like 4 games and a score of 11/4/14 or something like that to get an S. Same when I played Zilean, I have played a lot of good games with him YET I didn't get a chest, even with scores like 2/2/24 or something like that. It's way easier with Zyra/Brand and supports like that because you just get kills and sometimes entire waves.

So, as someone who's only got like 15 chests this season while owning ~45 champs and playing primarily mid/sup, could you make it a little bit easier to earn chests through actual support champions?

Try roaming more with bard and staying out of trouble, also healing build bard helped me get level 7 on him

Well it's not only about Bard, already got chest with him with the secret revolver+rapidfire build ;) With other supports it's just too hard to get it, even with a shield bot like Janna lol

Other Bard players in your elo are far better, since the system compares you to others who play your champion in your elo in that role.
Interestingly enough, you can get S by queuing up with lower level friends then playing ADC Bard. Works surprisingly well lol

If it's about the chest, just queuing with friends usially does the trick.

I get that they are far better, I'm fine with it, but jesus what do you want me to do? I had a game I was like 3/4/19, was LITERALLY carrying the game alone with my ults, but then you get the "A" and fuck it.

Also, this system focuses a bit too much on friends. I primarily play SoloQ or solo Flex anyway, it happens sometimes to queue with 4 friends and go for a flex game but I can't play for them, so it's not guaranteed that they'll get an S.

I'll stay here with my key fragments waiting for a miracle then. :(
