How to Get An S Rank

Sworeclipse·8/3/2016, 1:28:53 PM·23 votes·336,574 views

These tips are the crucial things you need to get S- or above.

1. CS Get about 100CS - 200CS if you want an S rank. CS is EXTREMELY important and you should always remember to farm.

2. K/D Ratio K/D ratio stands for kill to death ratio. So, if you get 30 kills, BUT, you get 30 deaths, you will NOT get S rank. Try to keep your deaths low and play safe for a certain S rank. If you only get 12 kills, but barely any deaths (2 or 3) and you also get a high CS you are almost guaranteed an S rank.

3. Support Assists Riot recently made an update so that if your a support champion, your assists = kills. CS also doesn't matter when your a support. One time I was sona, I got 13/6/35 and BAM S+.

4. Objectives If you get objectives you have a higher chance of getting an S rank. Incase your new to the game objectives include, drake (dragon), turrets, and baron.

5. Warding Warding is one of the most important things to get an S, ESPECIALLY if your a support champion. One game, I got 31 kills with talon, but I forgot to ward, so I got an A+ instead of an S. Wards are almost as important as CS so use your wards everytime they are not on cooldown. About 30 wards is a good amount if your aiming for S.

6. Damage Dealt Damage dealt is also an important part to getting an S rank. If you kill steal like 30 times it will get you absolutely no where. If you want to see how much damage you dealt in a game, it should be in a chart when the game ends. You can also easily find it if you view the match details in your match history (match history is in your profile).

Comment any questions or additional tips you think I missed!

That 100-200CS is only for certain champs.

Want an S+ on Vayne? You need 400CS.

Can someone explain how me playing Nami support only got an A ranking in this match? http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2256188056/1?tab=overview

I went 1/1/28 and placed 22 wards and fed my ADC's pants off.

K what other people mentioned elsewhere, another thing taken into account is how other players performed on that champ before you, as well. So check champ stats as a reference for let's say dmg.

Thank you, this was very helpful. i just got 17/2/3 as Mordekaiser and only got an A. Than i realized that i used only 6 wards.

Icerwolve7/16/2017, 5:21:48 PM1 votes

Actually I keep getting good "KDA"s without keeping in mind warding and damage dealt. TBH I suck at farming and carrying as an ad champion, but still worth practicing.

Riots rating system is EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED. So much so, that there is no sure fire way to know how you'll rate. Do many things, and you'll rate one way, or do little things IN COMPARISON to the other team and you'll rate another way.

I know the system has to be complex in order to be fair, but there a different between complex and just outright chaotic.

naptown king7/19/2017, 7:00:41 PM1 votes

ok i just won 5 games in a row with lux and on my last 2 games I went 12/1/4 I do not understand y i keep getting A- rate tell me what i doing wrong

Thanks! No wonder I had a game where I was a Soraka alongside a Mastery 5 Ezreal and got S+. [slayer-jinx-wink]

I had the most stupid S- in my life last game xD I was 22/1/2 with talon got us baron and about 5 towers, warded whenever i could obviously most damage on the team 150 cs and i got no S/S+ haha. I would have gotten mastery 7 talon in 6 games after mastery 5 if it would have been a S/S+. Slightly unfortunate ^^ well that stuff happens to the best of us :P.

DoktorKaiser8/4/2016, 12:07:55 AM1 votes

Or simply play the champion in the role he isnt made for, maybe lose a few games untill matchmaking throws you op team, or enemy noob team and you win hard, have decent score and you get S+ easily.

collasu5/18/2017, 9:32:05 AM1 votes

I get S- even i ward al lot and my kda is 13-2-8 and my cs is 193 but i need S or S+ for a mastery 7.
