  • Playing as Support Nami
  • Only need one more token to get Mastery 7
  • Ended up with the score 3 / 0 / 28
  • Attended every dragon, and helped with 2 Barons
  • Warded along with buying multiple pink wards
  • Over 80% kill participation over the 40 minute game
  • Get an S- Grade

ARE YOU FREAKEN KIDDING ME RIOT???? Ok, like .... the flying hell guys? I had a perfect KDA and warded like crazy. I did everything and I mean everything by the book to qualify myself an S or higher, with NO DEATHS. How the blazing crap did I not earn an S or S+ ??? If i'm being salty or spoiled, fine. But come on, how can I do better then that? This tilts me so freaken hard you wouldn't even know.

Yeaaaah. I got my 7 on Soraka exclusively through playing Soraka mid any time there was a Yasuo on the enemy team, lol.

I very rarely seem to even get S when I play support, even if I do stupidly well like the scores you've mentioned.

3/0/28 in a 40-minute game isn't all that exceptional for a Nami. It's good, but it's the high end of one standard deviation good.

What I found getting 7 on another champion that has annoyingly consistent stats (Heimer) is that the S only really comes when you're not just doing well, but your enemy is continually screwing up as well. Just doing well in itself isn't going to set you apart from the 90% of players that focus on a champ they also know well.

You might try taking Nami into an odd role or something (e.g. top or jungle) in a couple unranked games to see if you can beat her averages in roles no one usually plays except as a joke.

you're def not being spoiled. everyone thinks its "so easy" to get an s as a support but it's f-ing hard!! we need kills but we're not supposed to get kills. to get my level 7 on sona after sightstone and frost queens i had to go ap and actually try and take kills from teammates. it needs to be changed. riot said here: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/gameplay/state-season-mid-season-followup that they're going to try and work on it

I feel you. They are changing the support rating next patch. I was just trying to put a band aid on your question. Also late game when your allies have full build you need to KS to catch up.

Just KS a few more kills.

Jungle is the same way. Can get a perfect KDA but if I don't have high enough cs I will never even get an S-. This happens every game I play as sej jungle because I don't like taxing the lanes. :/

Yeah going 3/0/15 and getting S- is so unfair.

Do good man. I'm pretty sure I heard the system graded you if you were in the top 5-15% I don't remember. So if you play Quinn and all other Quinn players go 20/0 every game you'll have to go 60/0 or something (This is exaggerated but whatever)
