How to Get An S Rank

Sworeclipse··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).

That 100-200CS is only for certain champs.

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

Sworeclipse2 votes

Eh not really, 100-200 is not very specific but its fairly accurate. I believe if you get 200 CS with a VERY good K/D and place a LOT of wards then you can easily get S+

Your CS will be compared to other players who played that champion in that role. So, the CS required to get an S for one champion may be very different from the CS required for another champion.

HAHAH. No. You just don't ward, scrub.

I think for magic support champs the CS count's much lower. Soraka Sona Bard etc Tip: item 3302 helps with CS as a physical support. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

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.

So how do you get s on supports ?

Ward ward ward, high assists. Get a sight stone and put it in jungle or lane bushes. Maybe heal a lot? idk :)

The Kill Robber1 votes

Help your ADC. And yes, sight score does help. Kills are counted = Assists in the equation so if you have a good ADC then you'll both get good ranks.

https://puu.sh/w3oGq/e73ac5745b.jpg Feelsgoodman, have only gotten an S once with Zed in 5 months, funny thing is that people assume I just feed, judge for yourself... http://puu.sh/w3oPj/880a4e0b5a.jpg https://puu.sh/w3oQt/da6980cfd6.jpg https://puu.sh/w3oSu/3092ad6d36.jpg Haven't gotten an S on a single one of these games.

not enough CS

LørdDankNekø2 votes

Just explain how this isn't atleast an S-

K /D/ A CS GOLD 22 /2/ 9 114 14,408

and I had the most damage dealt

Runawaydevil1 votes

deepends on how long the game is bby if it was 40 mins then 114 cs aint gonna cut it also, the shorter ur game, the easier it is to get an S (try to win at 15)

Jamesopher1 votes

Game length is definitely a factor. I got an S on Twitch with 4/1/6 55CS, but the enemy surrendered at 15 minutes, and my whole team got S or S-.

JAY CH0U2 votes

shot i got s on Zed with 15/6 and i got a+ with 18/4, riot is kidding me?

DoktorKaiser1 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.

Sworeclipse1 votes

I think your talking about the win rate... Win rate doesn't apply to the ROLE, it applies to the champion itself. Playing a champion in a role he isn't made for won't raise your chances of getting S, it'll just make your teammates flame.

DoktorKaiser1 votes

Hahahhaha you are so wrong. I discovered this when I played with my friend who was new to the game. He played Garen support and had score of 4 6 6. Guess what he got ? An S+. Only thing that really matters at getting S is the average score of people playing same champion in same position. Most people with Garen support are trolls and probably have 0 15 0 score, hence with any decent score you get free S+. If I need box or token fast I just did stuff like Viktor jungle, Amumu mid, ap Alistar mid, Sion mid and other dumb stuff, had decent score at best, always got the free S... Just try it out, but not in ranked ofc.

ah ok, I'll try out it right now. If this actually works, I'll find out where you live and personally give you a bouquet of flowers xD.

Well?

Sworeclipse3 votes

AHAHA ITS BEEN 7 MONTHS. You guys are hilarious. Anyways, I dropped by to say, yes it did work. I played Soraka AD jungle and went 11/11 and somehow got an S-. I made a video about it actually, search Eklipsies, then click on the video titled "Full AD Soraka Jungle (Hidden OP)." It's kind of an old video but you get the point.

CentalHQ1 votes

Do you need other stuff, Like I got 11/4/6 XayahXayah with 208 cs, and like 12-15 wards. Total DMG to chaps - 30,169. And i got only A. Ideas ?

Divine MessXayah1 votes

It's pretty hard to get an S- or better on Xayah. I main xayah and got one yesterday. I was 13/5. 260CS. 17 wards and destroyed 2 towers and helped with other objectives about 3 times. Also the rest of my team didn't do well so I tried to carry which I think might affect it as well. The amounts of damage dealt and how long the game lasted also affect it.

AdeBug1 votes

I actually had no idea they're considered, not that that's a problem for me, ya kno :P I already ward as much as I can

steven johnson1 votes

thanks for the tips i will make sure to use them lvl 7 Graves here i come

AdeBug1 votes

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.

Saber12231 votes

I mean, I went 26 and 2 with 57k dmg as gp, had I think 220 vs. GOT a A+.. so...

nadavger1231 votes

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.

Icerwolve1 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 king1 votes

The Kill Robber1 votes

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

Sincerely Yi1 votes

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.
