Many people asked about their skills in Valorant answer that they are at an "average level." But what does this mean in practice? And are all the people who say this stuff correct? After reading this article, you will never again doubt what it means to be "average" in Valorant.

Average Valorant Rank

The average rank to have in Valorant is Silver 3. By being in this rank, you are being put in the top 53.7% of all Valorant players, which means that you can almost beat a half of them. Look like this from this position - if you were put in a room with 100 other Valorant players, you would beat about 53 of them. Is this a good score? No. Is this a bad score? Also no. It's average.

While Silver 3 is the most average rank to have, we would say that the entire Silver division is kind of made for average players. Here's how the distribution looks like in this division:
