totally didn't deserve S+

Aerothal··4 votes·578 views

I mean, Sona support and died ONCE?!? Not acceptable. Only 28 wards and 4 destroyed? pathetic. not to mention upgrading trinket at lvl 10. seriously? yeah. totally not a S+

My question though: would an adc/mid/top have received a S+? I think so!

But we gotta keep them supports in their place!!!

I remember reading a post somewhere that S+ means you performed in the top 2% of players in your region for your champion.

You may not be there just yet, but at least you're pretty high up. Be a little more happy with what you got; Most of my friends are usually stuck getting A's unless we have a good stomp.

Also in that role. That same Sona game on a Top Lane Sona would have very likely gotten an S+.

Really? I've gotten it with Syndra Velkoz and Yasuo but i havent been able to replicate the yasuo one since his popularity went up. Thats still pretty cool though.

You'll be surprised she was being compared to the Sona mids that carried games, so... yeah. There's that.

ikr?! I wonder if Riots algorithm that calculates this stuff is purposely not grading supports high because of lack of cs or damage.

Except, it grades you against other people playing that champion in the support role. I'd guess the problem is that bot lane sometimes snowballs WAY out of control, so only those games ever do well enough for an S+.

I think the only support S+ I've gotten was a game where I was leo for a kalista support and we just completely dominated our lane. Kept pushing and taking towers because we could 2v3 and eventually 2v4 no problem, lol.

This compared to several S+ mids.

I see 35 minute game. Only 4 wards destroyed in a 35 minute game isn't that great. Place more pink wards along side red sweeper.

Aerothal1 votes

yeah, 28 was a lil meager as well. I placed 2 pinks. gotta step that up!

Only 35 CS scrub... steal more CS so you can get that S+! I don't understand the rating system either, I've gone goose egg on deaths for Leona, with double digit warding and clearing also and only received an S... don't know what it takes to get an S+ on support... I've never seen it.

It takes vel'koz, when you deal the most dmg on your team :P

I think it's punishment for all those dirty support items you've got there. Where's your AP? You need AP to "support" your team.

team performance is factored into the grade

also grades are irrelevant, only winning matters

Aerothal1 votes

well yes, of course grades are just a lil candy, but they should be consistent. i mean be real, everyone likes to get a S+. but when you perform above average and don't get it because you happened to play a support, something is wrong.

You didn't buy the DJ Sona Skin. Riot will not reward you since you failed to give them money! Problem solved.

These are the things supports are expected to do, so when you do them very well, it's good but doesn't put you extraordinarily out of the ordinary.

On the other hand, when you play adc and put down 20 wards, you're in the 99th percentile for that stat, so it contributes much more to getting an S+ (provided you also did well at the stuff adcs are supposed to do).

If you did warding well and ALSO did a crap ton of damage....

It's a lot easier to snowball bot lane because there are two people getting ahead. So, likewise, Riot has to up its standards for the bot lane. Also, your warding was a little low for a support.

And then there is me The guy who builds her full AP, no sightstone, hardly any wards (not to say that I am never a key performer on my team, I just do it differently)

I get S+ pretty much every game I win with her Support rankings are a bit iffy
