A Rank Rating will show how their rank has changed after the results of that game. This will be shown to a player at the end of each game where their current rank is displayed. Players who perform exceptionally well in game will rank up faster than average. The highest rank a player can place after completing their placements is Ascendant 1.Ī player's position on the Competitive ladder will go up and down based on when they win or lose games, respectively. To earn a rank, new players must first play 5 placement games. Despite having target designs per act, the true distribution will never exactly fit this as the playerbase's skill is constantly shifting, though the true distribution should still be quite similar to it. The rank distribution is designed to have the average player holding a rank in Silver. Players in Immortal and Radiant ranks are featured on a leaderboard.Īn example of a target Rank Distribution for an Act Ranks Iron-Immortal are divided into three tiers from Tier 1 to Tier 3, with Tier 3s being the highest tier within a rank. There are 9 ranks in VALORANT Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Ascendant, Immortal, and Radiant. Players in their placement games can join a party with ranked players, though not with those at the highest ranks. Players in Immortal and Radiant cannot play in a 3-stack. If any player in the stack is Radiant, a 75% RR reduction will be instantly applied.If any player in the stack is Immortal, this RR reduction will be instantly applied, regardless of whether the stack fits within Groups 6-13.25% RR reduction will be applied if the 5-stack doesn't fit into one of the groupings shown above.These groupings however will not prevent a 5-stack from entering the queue, though if the ranks within the party do not fit into one of these groups or at least one of the players holds a high rank, the stack will be affected by reduced RR gains/losses: In general, the ranks within a party must fit one of the following groups for that party to be eligible to play Competitive:Ī visual representation of rank restrictions within a party (pre- v5.0) Group Matchmaking takes party size into account, and will attempt to match them with opposing teams who have a similar party size. Players can queue into Competitive with up to 5 people in a stack/party, excluding parties with 4 players. Forfeited games will not count towards this requirement for the team that forfeited. Accounts that have not yet reached level 20 but have already played Competitive before 4.0 will still be able to play Competitive. Starting v4.0, to be able to play Competitive, players must have reached Account Level 20. Competitive requires a unanimous vote instead of the usual 80% from Unrated to be able to surrender.ġ2 June 2020 Accessing and playing Competitive There are slight differences with surrendering. To end the match in the draw, the first vote needs 6 votes in favor, the second vote needs 3 votes in favor, and every other afterwards needs only 1 vote in favor. Each vote will happen with every new Overtime set. If both teams win one round each, Overtime repeats again and again until either one team wins both rounds and wins the game or the players vote to end the game with the result being a draw for both teams. If a team wins both these rounds, they win the game. For all players in every round, they get 5,000 credits and have their ultimate points set to being 3 short of what they need to use it. In Overtime, the teams play two rounds, one on attack and one on defense. The first team to reach 13 rounds wins the game.Ĭompetitive does however have a different system for resolving 12-12 games, going into Overtime instead of Endgame. The game is split into two halves after 12 rounds, teams will swap sides. Each round lasts 100 seconds, which is reset to 40 seconds if the spike is planted. Before each round start, players have 30 seconds to buy weapons and utility, get into position, and set up any utility. The defending team must kill all enemy attackers, prevent the spike from being planted, or (if the spike has been planted) defuse the spike (killing all enemy attackers will no longer be enough to win the round should defusing be required). To win a round, the attacking team must kill all enemy Defenders or detonate the spike. One team starts on Attack and the other on Defense. In brief summary, two teams of five players select their agents. Competitive has the same gameplay rules as Unrated.
