VALORANT's rank distribution is the best way to tell how you stack up versus the competition. Knowing where you stand compared to the rest of VALORANT's playerbase can be the motivation you need to improve at the game.

The rank distribution in VALORANT fluctuates after each new act. Players climb up the ladder or fall behind, and the most ambitious players may even stretch their VALORANT resolutions to gain a competitive edge to break their personal records. I take great pride in knowing I'm a perfectly average VALORANT player every season, so checking the rank distribution is my way of knowing I'm not falling behind.

What is the VALORANT's current rank distribution?

At the time of writing, the vALORANT's current rank distribution is as follows:

For the most up-to-date VALORANT rank distributions, we'd recommend readers to check out VStats' dedicated ranks tab, where site admins update the graphs with the most recent data from all ranked matches in the game. The available data set may not cover the entire player base, but considering that Riot Games doesn't release official data on rank distributions, this is the best available option for players wondering about their rank status.

What is the average rank for VALORANT?

The average rank for VALORANT is approximately Gold 1. Silver and Gold rank ranges feature the most players in the game, making that range the average. As we move toward the more extreme parts of VALORANT's rank spectrum, Radiant, and Iron 1, there are noticeably fewer players in these tiers.

While the rank distributions slightly change every season, the average often remains the same since it's been the case since the game's release.

Is Platinum a good rank in VALORANT?

Platinum is a good rank in VALORANT since it represents an above-average skill level. Platinum ranks (1-3) put you in approximately the top 20-25% of all VALORANT players. This means you're significantly better than the majority of players in the game.

Overall, Platinum in VALORANT is a tier that separates casual players from more serious, skilled competitors. The skill gap between Platinum and Diamond+ can still be high, so there is always something new to learn in VALORANT.
