Valorant ranks in order feature eight unique ranks starting from Iron all the way to Valorant. Each rank, except for Valorant, offers three tiers and is a way for players to showcase their skill. The system provides a motive to grind Riot Games' newest FPS title and differs from previous ranking systems because individual performance outweighs win percentages.
Statistics like kills, assists, deaths, bomb placements, and diffuses could all affect a player's rank, and while the rank system may seem complicated now, the game is only in its beta stages. This means that, as the game progresses, the community will likely see improvements to ranked play.
Here are the Valorant ranks in order from Iron to Valorant.
In an hour we're shipping a hotfix for Vanguard to +up its compatibility with cheat-vulnerable drivers. Most of the previously blocked drivers should now work. Some egregious ones will cause the game not to start but now very few will be blocked outright. Thanks for the feedback.

Valorant Ranks in Order: Iron to Valorant
From lowest to highest, the ranks are Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Immortal, and Valorant. Because seven of the eight ranks have three tiers to them, there are a total of 22 ranks in the game.
Released on April 30 in North America, Valorant Ranked Play requires players to play five games before they are granted a rank. Typically, if you are not a professional player or haven't been playing FPS titles a lot, you will likely start at Iron or Bronze, and it is easier to rank up the lower you are.
