VALORANT's competitive ranking system consists of 9 main ranks, with most having three tiers each. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of all ranks and key information about the competitive ladder.

Complete VALORANT Rank List (Low to High):

• Iron (I, II, III)
• Bronze (I, II, III)
• Silver (I, II, III)
• Gold (I, II, III)
• Platinum (I, II, III)
• Diamond (I, II, III)
• Ascendant (I, II, III)
• Immortal (I, II, III)
• Radiant (single tier)

Ranking System Mechanics:

• Each tier requires 100 RR (Rank Rating) to advance
• Win matches to gain RR, lose matches to lose RR
• Overtime draws typically result in 0 RR
• Performance against higher MMR players can earn bonus RR

Radiant Rank Details:

• Top 500 players per region
• Currently only 0.019% of NA players achieve Radiant
• Originally called "VALORANT" in beta

Current Rank Distribution:

• Majority of players are in Silver I and Bronze II
• Gold and Iron ranks follow in population
• Distribution fluctuates due to recent V25 hard reset
• Players were demoted up to two ranks in new Episode

Tips for Ranking Up:

1. Warm up in Practice Range daily
2. Focus on consistent aim training
3. Communicate effectively with team
4. Consider playing with a regular team over solo queue
5. Play for improvement rather than just wins
6. Expect significant time investment for higher ranks

Notes: The ranking system requires dedication and patience. Lower ranks (Silver, Gold, Platinum) often have more unpredictable gameplay and smurfs, making them particularly challenging to climb through.
