Every player who decides to dive into ranked play in League of Legends has to know about the ranking system that is used in the game to fully understand and know where they’re at on a competitive level. How much percent of the playerbase resides in every tier and in what order do you climb the ranks to reach the top of the top, namely Challenger?

Ok, let’s first take a look at all the ranks out there. Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold are the ones where the biggest portion of the player base will reside, with the biggest percentage of players finding themselves in Silver. Iron is the lowest rank, featuring most newer players. Going up there’s Platinum and Diamond, which combine for just over 10% of all players. Master, Grandmaster and Challenger is where the best of the best reside, literally the 0.1%.
- Iron – 7.1% of players
- Bronze – 22% of players
- Silver – 35% of players
- Gold – 23% of players
- Platinum – 7.9% of players
- Diamond – 2.5% of players
- Master – 0.032% of players
- Grandmaster – 0.040% of players
- Challenger – 0.017% of players
Looking at the percentages above, chances are you find yourself somewhere in between the Iron to Gold range. Only a select few players break out of those tiers to push on to Platinum, where ranking up gets progressively more and more difficult. Be ready to commit to the grind if you want to aim higher.
