New Ascendant rank in Valorant
The new Ascendant rank will help to balance out the player count across various ranks, allowing them to improve at their own pace. Below, we've got a rundown of all of the different ranks, arranged in ascending order (1 being the lowest and 3 the highest.)
...
Ranks and Tiers
- Iron.
- Bronze.
- Silver.
- Gold.
- Platinum.
- Diamond.
- Immortal.
- Radiant (previously called “Valorant”)
You can think of Ascendant as a buffer rank that will take in refugees from the Platinum-Diamond Ranks when players from lower ranks eventually move up.
NEW RANK: Ascendant
Added an additional rank above Diamond, below Immortal, called “Ascendant.”
TenZ was the first player to reach Valorant rank (now known as Radiant) in North America during the Closed Beta.
TenZ becomes the first player from the North American region to attain VALORANT rank. He attains the rank within just two days of ranked matchmaking being introduced to the region. He initially calibrated his rank as Immortal 1 and worked his way all the way up to VALORANT.
Radiant – the Highest Rank in Valorant
Radiant is the final Valorant rank, and as such, only the best Valorant players can attain it. The Radiant rank also has an extra condition to it. To climb from Immortal 1 to Immortal 3, players only need to reach a specific RR regional threshold.
Overall, players will have to work through 20 ranks to reach the top tier in the system: Radiant. Some players get enough points and win enough matches to skip over sub-tiers, but that's an exception and not a rule.
Valorant rank distribution has recently revealed that the majority of players stuck in Silver. No other rank abodes as many players as Silver does, which is astonishing. While Silver is often roasted for being the “bot” Elo, this stat confirms that it may actually be the toughest rank to escape.
Is Plat 1 GOOD Valorant?
Well in Valorant's Competitive mode, Platinum 1 is the lowest rank in the Platinum division. But that's nothing to be ashamed about. You are in the top 15% of all Valorant players! On average you are better than every six out of seven Valorant players on the planet.
Therefore, if you exclude Unranked, there are 25 Valorant ranks in Riot Games' tactical shooter. Additionally, the top 500 players in each region will achieve Radiant rank, and approximately the top 1% per region will achieve Immortal rank.
Well in Valorant's Competitive mode, Gold1 is the lowest rank in the Gold division. But that's nothing to be ashamed about. 80% of all Valorant players are in ranks below Gold! On average you are better than every four out of five Valorant players on the planet.
Is Iron 1 good in Valorant? Well in Valorant's Competitive mode, Iron 1 is the lowest rank you can possibly achieve. This, of course, means that it's not good.
If one or more of your 5-stack group are Radiant, the team will receive a 75% RR reduction. Having any players in your group that are below Radiant automatically reduces your potential RR by 90%.
| Rank | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Diamond 2 | 2.8% |
| Diamond 3 | 2.0% |
| Ascendant 1 | 1.6% |
| Ascendant 2 | 1.0% |
MMR will also be moving around as VALORANT pushed players to their respective ranks now that Ascendant has been added to the ladder. The goal was to push players who were stuck in Bronze and Silver upwards while separating the skill between Immortal and higher from the rest of the ranks.
The lowest rank a player can achieve in VALORANT is Iron, while the highest a player could climb to is Radiant. That being said, there are nine different ranks to climb through when playing ranked VALORANT, with every rank between the first seven, Iron and Ascendant, holding three “tiers” to climb through as well.
Ever since Tyson “TenZ” Ngo became the first player to hit the VALORANT (now Radiant) rank in the game's beta, he has been one of the best known faces in VALORANT.

Is Shanks and TenZ related?
Shanks and poised are brothers, tenz isnt related to them I'm pretty sure. There's a lot of common Asian surnames and Nguyen is definitely one of them. It's like asking if 2 guys with the last name smith are related because they have the same last name...
Radiant was a thing in Valorant until it got added as a rank with Valorant's 1.02 patch. This was done in order to support the lore, created by the game's creative team. In the game, Radiant rank is far different than other ranks in the game as they mark the top 500 Valorant players in their region.
Tyson "TenZ" Ngo (born May 5, 2001) is a retired Canadian professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player of Vietnamese descent.
Their given RR in the lower tier will not go below 70. Immortal and Radiant players can earn beyond 100 RR to climb up the leaderboard, and the top 500 players in each region make up the Radiant rank, so long as they pass an RR threshold (depending on region): LATAM, KR: 100 RR. BR: 200 RR.
How to get out of Silver in Valorant. Getting out of Silver in Valorant isn't easy due in part to smurfs and higher-skilled players filling the lower queues as they rank up. One of the easiest ways to beat the smurfs at their game is by making use of strong weapons that are difficult to counter even with superior aim.
Is Iron 3 good in Valorant? In Valorant's Competitive mode, Iron 3 is the highest Iron rank. This means that there is almost an entire division of players you should be better than. So far so good!
Valorant has nine competitive tiers. Each tier has three ranks, with the first being the lowest and the third being the highest. Radiant is the only rank not to have a sub-rank, as it's the highest Valorant rank and only a select number of players can reach it.
What is the new Rank? Ascendant will sit comfortably between Diamond and Immortal. It is represented by a green diamond and will also have three levels just as every other rank does. Riot explained in patch notes 5.0 that "We believe our lower ranks have a few too many of you, especially Bronze and Silver.".

Like the lower ranks, Ascendant will have three tiers: Ascendant One, Ascendant Two, and Ascendant Three. When a player climbs out of Ascendant Three, they will then move to Immortal and be able to climb to Radiant from there.
If one or more of your 5-stack group are Radiant, the team will receive a 75% RR reduction. Having any players in your group that are below Radiant automatically reduces your potential RR by 90%.
Moreover, players who are Ascendant will have new grouping restrictions for 5-stacks in rank. It means players are required to be within three ranks of Ascendant to queue together. MMR will also be moving around as the game has pushed players to their respective ranks now that Ascendant has been added in the mix.

What is this? Riot explained that this could lead to an eventual overpopulation of the higher ranks like Platinum and Diamond. Rather than letting those ranks be filled with players, the developers are set to implement Ascendant prior to Immortal, the second-highest rank in the game.
Who can play with Ascendant players? Grouping restrictions for Ascendant are three ranks above or below the Ascendant ranked player. By adding another rank, Riot has pushed the five-stack penalty and solo-duo restrictions into Immortal.
