Valorant is a highly competitive game, with players constantly looking to improve their skills and climb up in the ranking spectrum of the shooter.
In Valorant, your skill level is measured by your rank, with higher ranks indicating greater proficiency in the game. Valorant’s ranking system consists of eight tiers: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Immortal, and Radiant.
Except for Radiant, each tier is subdivided into three divisions, reflecting a player’s progression and competence within their respective rank.
How To Rank Up in Valorant
Ranking up in Valorant is pretty straightforward: you need to accumulate 100 Rank Rating (RR) within your current division to advance to the next tier. This translates to each rank tier comprising 300 RR across three divisions.
Players gain or lose elo based on the outcome of their games combined with their performance.
However, what many players may not realize is the existence of a hidden rating system that greatly influences your overall RR gain or loss: your MMR (Matchmaking Rating).
How To Double Rank Up in Valorant
If you’re looking to double rank up in Valorant, then you must know how the hidden MMR system works in the game.
But what exactly is a double rank-up?
Occasionally, Valorant players experience skipping a rank division when ranking up. For instance, a Gold 1 player may go straight to Gold 3 with a single competitive win. This happens during a ‘double rank up’, where the algorithm recognizes your skill level is significantly higher than your current rank.
Now, what exactly triggers a double rank-up in Valorant? And how can you consistently achieve this and swiftly rise through the ranks?
Double rank-up happens when your MMR is significantly higher than your visible Rank Rating. This is most common if you haven’t played for a while and recalibrate at a much lower rank than where you belong.
It’s also possible to double rank up frequently if you can put up consistent performances and win a lot of games in a row.
