PSA: K/D/A isn't the only measurement when giving players a champion rank

Please stop acting like just because you went 10-0 that you deserve an s-rank.

I'm a little mad, I got an 'A' rank earlier today playing as Viktor. I went something like 15/16/(a bunch of assists).

I'm mad because I felt I deserved worse, I clearly had horrible positioning this game and definitely didn't deserve even a B for how many times I died. I don't want my rank to be based on kills, I want it to be based on...well in this case it would be K/D/A because that's the main purpose of a bursty AOE mage. I think my CS was pretty sub-par as well.

I don't think it is because I've had worse kda and even cs as my opponent but gotten higher ranking than them

I've heard that it takes your teammates performances as well. If you go 10/2 but your team's Vayne was 30/0, the system is not as impressed as it would be with you going 10/2 and your Vayne going 0/30

I just went 15/0/6 as MF and only got an A Went 11/8/20 as Sona support, got an S

Still think the grading is off a bit.

I went 1/6/24 as jungle Zac and I ended up getting an S rank cause I secured 5 dragons and a baron, and placed easily 20 wards, took towers when my team didn't need me that moment, felt good.

And only got an A+. :c Lots of invading and Fiora, but that game was fun.

When I go 10-0-x with 300+ cs as an adc, I damn well better get an A or better. Anything less is just insulting.

Yeah KDA doesn't really matter, there are a lot of factors (I assume) that go into the grade you get. I played a game as Corki ADC, I went 0/4/3, and still got a B, which isn't that bad considering my KDA was 0.75. I had decent CS and did the most damage to enemy champions on my team despite having no actual kills. I think it's a lot more in depth than people give credit for. In other games I've had over a 1.0 KDA and got a C because my presence in fights wasn't there as much as my Corki game where I didn't get any kills but I still did the most damage on my team so my presence was still there a little bit.

KDA shows your ability to play the champ consistently at a high level. And your CS average shows how well you can lane vs any champs.

Yea, it's basically 100% based on whether or not you win. I played a Sivir game, had a great cs, great kda, and a shit ton of wards placed. I got an "S" rating. I still only got 47 mastery points on Sivir. I am honestly just ignoring it. It isn't "champion mastery", it is "how many games you've played with this champion".
