With Hextech Crafting out...

Can we revise the ranking system that we get at the end of the game?

Look at this game I played of Janna: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2131971886/204677700?tab=overview Seriously? Out of the 28 kills on our team, I was involved in 22 of them, that's about 80% of the kills. I died only two times, so a kda of 11:1. I got an A-. I don't really know what more I could do honestly. That sad thing is that I know with the current system, if those 22 kill participations were kills not assists, I probably would have gotten S+, even though as a support it's very beneficial to give kills to your carries.

I know that you are giving free stuff with this system, which is great, but seriously it's not fun when it's a system with issues like this.

I think you got nailed on your warding. 10 wards in a 27 minute game is doable without a sightstone. For that matter, a sighstone was roughly the value of 10 wards back when you could buy wards, so you didn't even get your money's worth for the item.

Kill steals are now mandatory for rewards. Guess it's time to revise support styles to be less supporty. Ignite supports for everyone!

honestly in low elo people misuse exhaust anyway. no i'm not saying i'm pro or anything. currently bronze 1, was in silver 2 promos before season reset, just started playing half way through season 5. when i was playing with gold ranks i saw how they used exhaust, and seeing how people in this elo use exhaust sickens me since that experience. but people in bronze to low silver use exhaust for an escape most of the time. example: adc isn't in lane. support is getting beat on bc of careless behavior and wanting to poke, support gets to very low hp, support exhausts enemy adc to escape. at least with ignite it helps the laning phase. it does damage, counters the enemy adcs heal, and if your support is good, they'll use it to where it doesn't steal the kill.

Thank you. I am an ignite support 85% of the time, and I don't use it to "steal the kill" ( whatever that means) Just need to know when to use it so the adc can hopefully last hit. Ignite is great on some supports, there are certainly times when exhaust is better but it depends on the other team composition too.

i'm a support main. i play supports who have cc, which makes the exhaust kind of worthless especially when i have frost queen's. i mostly play lulu, sona, and morgana supp with a little leona thrown in there. to me exhaust isn't viable on any of those 4. they all have stuns, slows, etc., plus my frost queen's. it just seems wasted to me.

Exhaust on supports is more for lowering the enemy's damage rather than slowing them. It's usually for situations where both teams are going all in, but it can be used on an escaping low health enemy if all your other CC is on cooldown.

actually it slows them, reduces their armor, and reduces their damage. but noone in my elo uses it for that.

I regularly get the S grade after games. I found that the support grade seems different from other roles like i'll go 4/3/26 and get S, and yasuo goes 11/5/15 and gets an A.

Idk, I play more aggressive supports I play nami zyra sona morgana and nautilus mainly in that order. It's inevitable that I have a kill or so at the end of the game, and many many assists. Since the crafting started I earned all 4 chests plus a bunch of key fragments.
