I just wanna know what the criteria is for getting an S+. Some games I'll go 3 and 7 and some how manage to get an A+ and other lI can go 28 and 12 with 150+ cs and only get an A. Can you make a detailed summation of how to obtain those coveted Mastery ranks please. Like I've watched videos about it but it doesn't seem to be useful. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to gt those Mastery 7 ranks for their favorite champions. If anyone knows what to do like farm more deal more damage or whatever I would love to know.

As you've probably heard before, the grading system is based on averages of the gameplay aspects per champion for your region. It's a lot harder to get an S+ on Lucian than it is on something like Amumu or Teemo. Your score for each aspect (warding, CS, kills, deaths, assists, objectives taken) is added up and compared to the average of that champions score at the given time your game ended. It may only take say 150 CS at 20 minutes to get an S+ (in CSing), but it'll take 300 at 35 or 40 minutes. Just for you to do well in THAT area. And I believe the scores are then averaged amoungst themselves, to give you your total grade for the game. If you had S+ CSing but not so many kills, say maybe a B rank in kills, they'll average out to give you an A+ overall. There are obviously more variables that need to be averaged, but you get the point.

Wonderful. I appreciate the explanation. Rather helpful. Is there a place to look at the average scores of certain champions?

Go to the stats page in the client.

You can compare your average play on a champion to the averages of all the people in each rank. For example, according to my stats, I play ahri on the level of a low plat ahri player. Yet most of my other champs are silver level

Riot tells you themselves, in your Stats tab. (NOT Advanced Stats for the game; your PROFILE STATS tab.)

Go to your PROFILE in the client, and go to STATS. All of those variables are what they are considering, and they show you that they are measuring you against other players of your MMR, your server, playing your champion, in that specific role. It's 13 measurements, that are averaged together, to produce your grade.

COMBAT: KDA Ratio, Kill Participation, Utility Score, Damage Per Death, Damage Share

INCOME: Damage Per Gold, Early Gold Advantage, Early CS Advantage, CS Per Minute

MAP CONTROL: Objective Control Ratio, Vision Score Per Hour, Roam Dominance Score, Kill Conversion Ratio

It seems that the score in each of these categories is considered equally. People notice improvements when they focus on CS or Vision, because these are much easier to control, and excellence in these areas will excuse underperformance in other areas.

It is said that Vision is %20 of your grade. This is an oversimplification, however, it's amazing that when you tell this to people, they start warding, and they start getting Ses.

Riot's grading is NOT consistent with good game play. For example, in the long match, you would need to farm past 400 CS to still earn an S, in most cases, and this is ridiculous. (60m match, you have full build, but you won't get the S if you don't farm. You might lose the game, however...)

The grading on op.gg is more consistent with habits and practices that win games. The only thing that really matters is winning. Don't get distracted.

Oh my. Thank you. I didn't know about that. [slayer-jinx-wink]
