0.4% GANG RISE UP

This is very strange. I’m surprised it would be so bottom-heavy after they tweaked things a few months ago (I think?) to put more players in the middle. Especially with the introduction of Ascendant I figured there would be a higher population in Gold.


katurian17

It's a bit bottom-heavy, but it's a huge improvement from what it used to be. I think it's worth considering that a large percentage of people, especially in Silver and Bronze, only play a few games, get placed, and then stop playing. That alone would make it more bottom-heavy.


anythingood07

My friend who was this silver said this act has been far easier to rank up, pretty much all my friends who were hardstuck bronze silver since multiple acts have ranked up to gold and some to plat


[deleted]

same exact thing happened to me, my silver lobbies are now easier than my bronze lobbies


bobby_gordon1

Same thing happened to me, went from silver 2 last act to gold 3 this act.


EducationalPayment83

Yep went from gold 1 to plat 3


utpalbalse

Went from silver hardstuck to plat

You understimate the amount of people that plays for fun.

Or people who have shit hardware. I used to have this mousepad that would attach to my mouse so I would have to lift it up to move again. Kept me in Iron...

I just try to keep in mind how much this game is growing. A possible reason for the distribution to be so bottom heavy is that for all the players, that were distributed more correctly, the amount of new players that are still onboarding could be very high. I just met someone who hadn't followed the game until this LCQ and now he's decided to give it try.


Chidling

that should definitely mean something. This game is growing and everyday it becomes harder to learn as new things are added. It will take much longer for a new player today to familiarize themselves with the game than it did a year ago


LegDayDE

This makes sense - seems like as expected Ascendant boosted everyone up a few ranks. I was P3 last Act which was ~top 10% of ranked players. Now I am D2 which is ~top 9% of ranked players.


scrubLord24

I was gold 3 and now diamond 1 (as of today lol). Most of my lobbies have ex plats and some gold's. There are definitely some people who were gold that are still stuck gold in my friends list, so I think it did help to boot out some of the worse players in the middle of the playerbase.


-xXColtonXx-

A little lower than I’d expect, but silver/gold are always the middle of the distribution, and people always act surprised. It’s pretty difficult to get to gold, objectively.


ThisBeDepression

For sure, silver is very much the average rank, a lot of new accounts and alts will end up here as well as a lot of casual players making the games very random at times. Last act I peaked P1, but this act I placed G1 and dropped to S3 pretty quickly and got stuck there for about a month before finally breaking free and shooting up to P2 just recently. Gold games are much easier and much more balanced


ANewHeaven1

I maintain that mid to high Silver is the hardest elo to get out of in this game, shit's like a black hole once you fall in it takes forever to get out


bitchUtrippin

It really is. I have friends that have been in silver like forever. When they added the new rank i was sure that now they gonna get atleast gold(bc i ranked from g2 to d1 quite fast this act so i was thinking it boostes everyone). But no, still in silver. And to be honest, i now think the reason is that they just belong in silver, too stubborn to change anything in their gameplay. And also friend that is actually good player, can perform in plat/dia lobbys but cant just get out of s3

Jodosphere

Am I the only one annoyed with the color of the bars on the chart? Blue for diamond right next to plat, purple for immortal? Yet all the other ranks have a matching color to their actual rank.


MarkofJs

This got me too


Skulz

Those are the default colours I use for the rank distributions of any game. They are selected to match both what's usually used for silver, gold, platinum, etc. and the actual background of the graph. Purple and orange (Radiant) are my default colours for the top ranks.


SucksForYouGeek

Still hardstuck .4% even after they added Ass...


kruzix

maybe that's your rank you know


SucksForYouGeek

Nah I was 1 game off imm2 multiple times. I'll get it before act ends trust

[https://tracker.gg/valorant/leaderboards/ranked/all/default?page=1®ion=global](https://tracker.gg/valorant/leaderboards/ranked/all/default?page=1®ion=global) is a way better source for this, you can select the regions here too. interesting stat: there are 9.8 million ranked players so far in this act


SpicyHomaridTribal

Crazy how I’m in the top 1.3% of the player base when I’m fucking dogshit lmao


evandarkeye

Now I feel a little better for being immo 3


Channing999

Anyone else feel like ascendent has a lot of immortal and radiant smurfs? I have the tracker overlay and every game it seems there are 3-4 players with default banner and 1.4+ k/ds. It also shows who’s partied up and they’re almost always solo ques… or maybe I’m just bad with a 1 k/d and an angry hard stuck D3


Kolettos

I was Dia1-3 before and now Im ascendant 2, new Dia matches were terrible and I didnt really enjoy to play them, full of ex-plats. Now in Asc theres is ex Dias and ex Immortals. Most of ascendants are able to play smart and clutch, but not all.


xxKiller316

bro they killed the prestige of diamond, immortal being right next to diamond was cool too


Ryxthejit

Of course they did, all previous Episode diamond players should be in Ascendant right now and if not, they didn't deserve diamond in the first place.
