Grades should be more dynamic.

So far, I've figured out that grades are based on more than just KDA. The time of the game, if nothing else, also seems to affect it (you need a higher KDA the longer the game goes since you had more time to get it). It seems like other things might play in as well....possibly role, cs, etc. Who knows.

BUT, I think your team's performance should play in. I'll just give a small example. I main support. If I have a 3-1-1 in an even, balanced game by the 30m end, I didn't really do much. Sure, I didn't die, but maybe I was afk a couple times to not get more than 1 assist. SO maybe a C grade. But, what if that is in a horrible game with 2 teammates going 0-8-2? Suddenly 3-1-1 looks a lot better than a C.

Anyway, there it is.

It seems to be based off of the performance of all other players of that character, in that role.

For KDA, this is sometimes easier in lower brackets where you are more likely to have scrubs tilt and feed you 20 or 30 kills, where in higher brackets they'll remain calm and competitive even when behind.

The hardest part for low ELO though is CS, by the 30 minute mark the high ELO carries are often running like 250-300 CS, where the bronze and silver ELO players are probably at like 100-150.

Due to the grading system, you seem to need to hit high marks on all things on which you are graded to get an S grade - might only be an A grade if you only have 100 CS in a 30 minute game. Even though you have broken the match for everyone on both teams, it's not good enough if your CS is lagging.

It seems to overemphasize the value of CS in general, and doesn't seem particularly role-aware. For example, I was trying to get some Evelynn S's yesterday - and despite what I felt was carrying the game, and deserving of S's on 3 different games - I didn't get a single S between them. The biggest problem I noticed, was in all three games I only had around 3 CS per minute: because I'm spending all game ganking lanes, clearing wards, and killing dragons.
