A lot of it has to do with the MMR in the match you're in too. Like, I totally wrecked this game with Katarina, but only got an S...
...but on this one had a strong game (not great) with Zyra and got an S+ because of the MMR of my opponents/teammates.
It's actually both of those things with a bunch more. This is how I've been explained how it works (based on what we do know).
Champion mastery is based on: KDA, CS, damage dealt to champions, damage dealt, your elo (MMR), and a collective pool of other scores played on that champion. So if you perform better on a champion than most other people at your elo, you'll get a higher grade. That also means that the less played a champion is, the easier it is to get a higher grade, but it's also easy to bomb.
Riot said there are a lot of hidden metrics that they won't disclose because "abuse" (that's always their excuse). So nobody really knows EXACTLY, but that short list of what's been confirmed to be factors.

before the last patch there was an easy way to get an S. What you did was buy a support item right before the game ended. I only tried it once in a normal and it totally worked. But from what i was told that was fixed.

I had a real good game on Eve jungle last night, but I got snowballed early. I'm wondering what the best build path would be here, she could actually go any jungle item. I used Warrior, but I feel both Magus and Cinderhulk could work as well. Anyone else have input on this?

I don't even know where to begin with this dude

Nah they can
But still, this dude's kit is really fun and strong and also broken as hell ;__;
it's probably just that new champion smell but maaaaaaan he seems quite powerful
this is what i got right now
i'm not a fan of either bandit and scavenger, but i dunno how much money you would lose for not taking those. i really like enhanced recalls, so i had to take out the extra range on trinkets which made me sad. maybe i'll take out bandit and put the point into that
i don't know about meditation, i have a bad feeling about % missing mana since the chalice rework
i think 0 15 15 will still be fine if u want to

How is Luden's Echo on Ekko? Does his E charge it up fast?
Eve is weird, I'm used to the trinity+bork and tank build I've known her for before the jungle changes.

Evelynn, Xin Zhao, and Vi are my top 3 suggestions. Evelynn is always invisible, so you can learn gank routes easier, Xin and Vi both have simple kits, and their ganks usually result in kills, especially Vi's once she hits 6.

I dunno your level, but Eve has a terrible time with early jungling without runes and a decent leash. You'll also get uses to bad habits like mentioned since you'll never learn to get a feel of enemy ward times.
morellos into lich bane is what i'm looking to try

Amumu, Warwick, and Pantheon are training wheels for junglers that actually remain viable as you get better. Amumu is strong at all levels. Volibear isn't bad to learn on either, because his passive can save you if you really screw things up early on.
That sounds pretty good to me
I LOVE this champ so far, most excited i've been about a new one in a long time
Balanced.
Been a while since Riot's released a legitimately broken champion. The recent ones must not have gotten them enough cash.
Lol. Sure he's strong but Annie's ult would have nuked all of them also. The only lick of MR on the whole team was aegis.
I've watched a couple streams. He's a littler over tuned for sure but rewards some good mechanical play. Enemies have to start watching for that clone.
Yeah this. If there was a fed Orianna in that clip who got a 5 man Q > R > W the result would have been the same. Imo while Ekko is strong, he is easy to deal with if you watch out for the clone and make sure you don't get hit by his Q on the way back.
it's actually pretty similar to ori ult except shockwave isn't nearly as easy to land and it's not like ridiculously op for dueling like this thing is
like heals you, deals a shit ton of instant dmg and makes you untargeteable
he's fun to play but i don't know about this ult...

Well, his ult is the big nuke in his kit and he's an assassin. I recall seeing the dev talk about how the rest of his kit had low base damages, so they could give him a big ulti damage.
I know that video made it look really easy to land but you ult where you were 4 seconds ago and its hugely telegraphed. Once people start paying attention its going to be super easy to dodge.
We'll have to see where he settles after a week or so. He's very complex mechanically and everything he does except his E has a massive delay.

No champions I hate playing with more than Vayne/Teemo and Rivens.
he doesn't really have low dmg, his passive and q are really strong dmg and ratios and his e combined with lich bane is pretty huge
i feel like it's gonna be the same as how you play ori, you just kite back and leave the ball/clone hanging there so ppl walk into it. except it's instant, tho obviously puts ekko in much more danger than ori ult
just poking around against bots but my impression is that like once ppl figure him out he's gonna be pretty op

okay. if you're retarded enough to GROUP UP for the Ekko ult, you deserve what you get. I assumed they were grouped at the tower because they couldn't see the shadow. Now I'm just irritated at their stupidity.
lol
reminds me of my friends' normals technique
we four pick vayne, yasuo, zed and riven and tell the fifth person they can pick whoever they want and we'll fill with sensible champions/roles after they pick
ehh this game is not that simple
there's tons of stuff on screen you're tracking and ppl have to think of other things than just ekko
i leave my ori ball hanging all the time for people to walk into it, it's just that when mindgaming each other someone wins and someone loses
I dunno if his ult is even the biggest problem
He brings a wicked amount of aoe dmg, poke, mobility, single target/execute dmg, an aoe stun, all with a shield with a .8 ap ratio.
That said, with the games I've played him, he takes some practice. I dunno if the skill floor is high as it should be, though.
Haha, that's fantastic.
