Here’s a look at the latest rank distribution percentages for Valorant in 2025, based on data from leading stat trackers and community analytics.
The Big Picture: Most Players Are Silver or Gold
The vast majority of Valorant players are concentrated in the Silver and Gold ranks.

These two tiers alone account for nearly half of the entire player base, making them the true battlegrounds for the average competitor.

Key Insights
- Silver and Gold: Nearly half of all ranked players are here, making these the most common ranks.
- Platinum and Diamond: Represent the upper-middle tier, with a combined share of about 20–25%.
- Ascendant and Immortal: These ranks are much rarer, together accounting for less than 7% of players.
- Radiant: The top rank is extremely exclusive—less than 1 in 2,000 players reach it.
Why the Distribution Matters
The distribution reflects Riot’s efforts to keep most players in the middle tiers, ensuring competitive matches for the majority. The system is designed so that only the most skilled and consistent players climb to the upper echelons, while newer or less experienced players are grouped in Iron and Bronze.
How Does Your Rank Compare?
If you’re in Gold 1, you’re already above about half the player base. Getting into Diamond puts you in the top 15%, while Radiant is reserved for the elite few. The climb is steep, but the data shows that most players are battling it out in the middle—so if you’re stuck in Silver or Gold, you’re in good company.
In summary: Valorant’s ranked ecosystem is pyramid-shaped, with the largest number of players in Silver and Gold, and only a tiny fraction making it to Radiant. This structure keeps competition fierce and progression meaningful for all.
