Valorant is a highly competitive game. Players are constantly testing their skills against one another in attempts to earn their place among the best players in the world. Due to this competitive nature of the game, a ranking system is essential for any shooter like this.
Riot’s ranking system designed for their FPS title Valorant consists of several rank groups. Each rank group is further divided into three subgroups which the players must cross to proceed to the next skill level.
The rank groups consist of Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Immortal, and Radiant. The Radiant is the highest attainable rank in the game and is the only rank which doesn’t include any sub-ranks.
Completing 20 unrated matches enables a player to queue for the ranked mode. Playing ten games in ranked gives the player their initial rank which generally ranges from Iron 1 to high diamond.
