Riot PR BULLSHIT on Champion S mastery (LOL discussion)

This was meant to be posted awhile back, whoops. Me complaining about the refusal to publish the S rank mastery formula. Likely the formula isn't finished yet, and Riot doesn't want to publish an unfinished system. Also i would like to see rewards instated for ranks other than S. Currently there is a lot of frustration with the system because the only rank that matters is the S rank which requires a good score on too many areas. If Riot rewards lower ranks, than the frustration wouldn't be as high.

The problem is, there's isn't a set formula. Your rank is based on how well you do compared to other people around your skill level playing that champion. If you want an s rank:

get kills die as little as possible get assists cs ward take objectives

basically, play the game well.

The biggest problem with the grading is for supports, but they're changing that to make assists equal to kills for them.

I think it also has to do with time. If enough time in a round hasn't passed and it's clearly some pub stomp, you're a lot less likely to get it. Every time I go like 6/1 and win by 20 min I only get an A+.

Literally every time I farm well and do a lot of damage with a 2.0 kd, it's an S or S- at worst. I'm pretty sure the system is fair.

Since the system compares you to other players, they can't release a statement saying get x kills and y deaths to get an S, because as soon as people aim for that, it becomes average and is no longer top percentile.
