S Rank
Hello! Im Jordan IV, a platinum Lee Sin one trick pony. (despite the name) Over some of my recent games, I have been doing extremely well on Lee, taking objectives, leading the team in wards placed, and having an overwhelmingly positive KDA. However, as the game finishes, NONE of those games that I have done well in resulted in a S rank or above.
Lets take a look at this game http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2204511084/48565525?tab=overview I snowballed every single lane in the early game, resulting in a dominant win. My rank for that game? A+ whereas my Brand earned an S.
I understand why Brand would earn an S, having the most damage dealt. However, I do not think it is fair for Lee mains like myself to be judged based upon a completely different criteria. Lets look at another recent game; http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2204508249/48565525?tab=overview
For this game, my main goal was to not die more than three times, which I achieved despite having the highest kill participation, had the most damage dealt, earned the most gold, only died twice, and on top of that, I secured two dragons over the 20 minute game. Despite all this, I earned an A- whereas my Jinx earned an S-. Stupid right?
After the rank 6 and 7 masteries have been released, everyone has been keeping a keen eye on their endgame rank hoping to earn one of those shards so we can display our mastery of the champ we are playing. I agree with Riot implementing different ways to judge a player's grade depending on their various roles, however I do believe that some champs like Lee needs a serious change with how he is assessed.
Anyway, have a great day! -J4
