How to Unlock Ranked Play in Valorant

Valorant’s ranked match-making is locked when you first install the game. For newbies, their account level needs to reach a rank level of 20 before they can start grinding for a high rank rating. 

It may seem a little annoying and unnecessary but playing unranked games to reach level 20 will give you sufficient time to get a hold of the game (or maybe even an agent or two). 

Once you reach level 20, you can select the ranked game mode from the top of your party, you will have to play 5 placement matches before you are assigned a rank. These are all steps that new players must take to be considered in the official rank data, and to make rank rating gains.

There are a total of 7 main ranks in Valorant–with each of them having 3 sub ranks. The only exception is for Radiant. For example, Diamond is the main rank–this is split into Diamond 1Diamond 2, and Diamond 3. 

To assess yourself as a player you must know the percentage of total players that lie in that rank. Let’s have a deeper look at Valorant’s rank distribution–as we analyze higher ranks, lower ranks, and the vast spectrum in between.

27.1% of ranked players are in the Silver rank, making it the largest rank, according to the percentage of players. 

Silver is the 3rd lowest rank in Valorant. Yet this is more populated than ranks lower than it. This tells players that achieving silver is not the hardest thing in the world, and maybe this is the reason many players struggle to find their way out of Silver and into the Gold rank.

Ending Thoughts and The Future of Valorant Ranked Mode

Riot Games have come up with a few updates and fixes for the ranked matchmaking in the past few months, which have worked really well in balancing the ranked queue. However, this still has his problems. 

We are not expecting huge changes from Valorant in ranked mode for the coming episodes. What’s more, Riot is probably going to focus more on Agent balancing.

Rank is something players all take very seriously when it comes to gaming in Valorant (or really all the competitive games for that matter). This Valorant ranking is the only formal indicator of how good a player is. Having said that, individuals should also keep in mind that rank isn’t everything for a player, because a rank doesn’t depend solely on the individual’s play. Valorant ranking also depends on the team you are playing with. And overall, to be a decent player, one has to be passionate about the game itself, not only the ranks and ranking system–this proves especially true in the game we love called Valorant.
