Surrender Grades

So I've been really enjoying new Nunu (Newnu?) and since I've picked him up I've been averaging around maybe A+ to S- on wins. So now I'm one win away from rank 7 (woo woo) but something rather annoying has been coming up. See any game the I start really snowballing (hehe) has led more often than not to a surrender by the other team, and in playing I've noticed that generally speaking, when the enemy team surrenders I find my grade to be a little lower than I'd normally expect for such a K/D/A. Now I get grade is some super secret Riot thing that nobody wants to give much specifics on but... it seems to factor K/D/A, cs, game length, and win vs lose.

Now to this end I kinda feel a bit cheated whenever I see that notification of surrender pop up in chat, because I know that grade I've just been working towards probably just got screwed over. This is not the response I imagine Riot wants upon a player learning they've just won. But lately, especially with the world's pass being so dependent on grades (which quite frankly sucks as someone who mains the tank role and constantly gets ks'd by my burstier teammates (looking at you Zed)) seeing that they surrendered just feels awful.

Now I'm not here just to complain. No, in fact I have a solution as well. I suggest that you all over at Riot look into the possibility of having the msyterious grade system give a slight boost to players on the winning team against a surrender. I don't imagine this would be very abusable and would be surprised if it in any way discouraged people from surrendering (although honestly if it did that itself may not be the worst thing with how often people are quick to ff nowadays).

I hope this post can get the attention of the right people and the idea at least be considered, because honestly, going 11/4/15 at 25 mins on tank nunu and not getting my rank 7 just feels bad.
