For many competitive Valorant players, understanding where they stand on the skill ladder is a key motivator. As of 2025, the “average” rank in Valorant is firmly situated within the Silver and Gold tiers, representing the largest segments of the game’s dedicated player base.
According to the latest data compiled from various third-party sources and tracking tools, Silver tiers alone account for over 23% of all ranked players, with Gold ranks closely following at approximately 21%. This means that nearly half of all Valorant players find themselves competing within these two crucial ranks.
If your current rank hovers around Silver 2 or Gold 1, you are, by definition, right in the middle of the global skill curve. This is where the majority of players land after dedicating dozens, if not hundreds, of matches to the competitive queue.
The Valorant Rank Distribution (2025)
To provide a clearer picture, here’s a breakdown of the current rank distribution based on 2025 data:
| Rank | % of Players |
| Iron | 7% |
| Bronze | 19% |
| Silver | 23% |
| Gold | 21% |
| Platinum | 14% |
| Diamond | 9% |
| Ascendant | 5% |
| Immortal | 1.2% |
| Radiant | 0.04% |
Recent adjustments implemented by Riot Games have contributed to a slight shift in the player distribution, pushing more individuals towards the lower and mid-tier ranks.
This has made the Bronze-to-Gold spectrum even more densely populated. Reports indicate that the median rank has subtly moved downwards, from Gold 1 back towards Silver 2, reflecting these system changes and the continuous influx of newer players into the ranked queues.
For most players, achieving a rank in Platinum signifies being clearly above average, placing them roughly within the top 28% of players worldwide. The extremely high echelons of Immortal and Radiant remain rare achievements, reserved for the most dedicated and exceptionally skilled players.
So, if your rank falls anywhere within Silver or Gold, rest assured that you are competing within Valorant’s true “middle class.” Far from being “hardstuck,” you are a core part of the global community that defines competitive Valorant.
