These millions quickly find themselves spread across the competitive standings, with only the very best breaking beyond Diamond and above. While you may not have achieved Challenger glory yet, your placements into Gold are just as exciting, and now you're left wondering just how high that leaves you. The distribution of players across each of the 10 ranks can often be incredibly stark, with most League solo queue players sitting in the lower tiers. Only a select few ever climb high enough to reach the upper echelons. Here's how League's rank distribution works and where the most players are. How rank distribution works in League League has a spread of players across several competitive tiers that make up the solo queue standings. All up, there are 10 different ranks League players can earn. The tiers, ranking from highest to lowest, are: Challenger Grandmaster Master Diamond Emerald Platinum Gold Silver Bronze Iron Players climb (or drop) between ranks depending on how well (or poorly) each ranked game goes. The more you win, the faster you'll climb. League's rank distribution, by the numbers Here is the overall rank distribution in League, courtesy of the stat tracking site League of Graphs, which keeps an up-to-date count of each rank\u2019s population and how it compares to the overall player base across competitive play. Solo queue rank distribution Rank Distribution percentageChallenger 0.024 percent Grandmaster 0.061 percent Master 0.47 percent Diamond 4.1 percent Emerald 12 percent Platinum 19 percent Gold 20 percent Silver 18 percent Bronze 18 percent Iron 6.9 percent Flex queue rank distribution Rank Distribution percentageChallenger 0.010 percent Grandmaster 0.027 percent Master 0.22 percent Diamond 3.9 percent Emerald 16 percent Platinum 19 percent Gold 16 percent Silver 17 percent Bronze 18 percent Iron 6.9 percent Perhaps most stunning is less than one percent of the total player base plays in the Challenger, Grandmaster, and Master tiers. Despite making up nearly a third of the available ranks in League, only a handful of players make it that high in their ranked climb, which just shows how tough it is to reach them. About four percent of the game\u2019s player base is Diamond or higher. A majority of the League community can be found between Bronze, Silver, and Gold, with 56 percent of players between those three ranks. Although Platinum is technically the halfway point between the lower ranks and upper ranks, there is an uneven number of players populating the lower ranks. If you\u2019ve ever wondered why you rarely play with the same players two games in a row, it\u2019s likely because so many share the same rank.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Victorious_Anivia_Final-WEB.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626153"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626153"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1136500,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626153\/revisions\/1136500"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/930441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626153"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=626153"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=626153"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=626153"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=626153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
