Play Testing "Valorant Beta" Rank System
Riot games has finally decided to release a "rank system" into Valorant. Much to do by the community complaining that the people they mach up with in a "normal games" are either not on level with them or straight up way better than them. Here is my take on the rank system Riot Games has added.
Rank System
There are eight ranks in Valorant. Each rank has three levels, this means you can push or drop 22 levels in total for your competitive experience. Each ranked level has an icon associated with it to give you and your teammates a visualization of what your current rank is. All the total competitive ranks that can achieve, in order:
While playing rank system game mode, your rank will fluctuate based on wins and losses, your contribution to the objectives, kills and the use of abilities. The most important thing for your "rating" is wins, but your individual achievement in these games also matter. You will also need to use your abilities to assist your teammates in kills and objective wins. The more you contribute, the more the ranked system favors your climb.
There are three different types of rank effects symbols that you can see after each game you play:

There are three different types of rank effects symbols that you can see after each game you play:
- Rank UP (Green)
- Rank DOWN (Red)
- Break EVEN (Grey)
The way to understand how your rank is affected is to look at the direction of the arrow, its color and how many arrows/how thick the arrow is. The more arrows means the more rating. The thicker the arrow means a big shift in how your rating was affected. The circle around the arrow means a rank change (up or down).
Placement Games
For my placement games, I did alright. I manage to win two games out of 4. Placing my self in Silver 3. These games were a struggle to play as I was mainly playing by myself with 4 other people on my team against a team where they had everyone in a voice call. It was hard to receive any info on the enemy as my team didn't bother calling out where they were.
As of today
Currently I am Gold 3 in Valorant. Games are still a struggle to play but I am doing well to keep up the amount of wins. The rank system as of now is fantastic. It allows me to exceed my play style and allows me to try to achieve the highest rank possible. For the next few days I will be grinding out the rank system and seeing rank I can get.
