According to a quick google search, the percentiles of each rank are:
Bronze: 0-5.3%
Silver: 5.4-19.9%
Gold: 20-49.3%
Platinum: 49.4-79%
Diamond: 79.1-91.8%
Master: 91.9-97.3%
GM: 97.4-100%.
The average player (i.e. 50th percentile) is pretty much smack bang on Platinum at 2506 SR. Hitting Diamond puts you in the top 20% roughly. If we look at it as a bell curve, then we’re probably looking at 2.3-2.7k for the average player.
Gold is not average in every game gold in r6s is like insanely good if i am not mistaken and in csgo its high rank too right?
played csgo for 2 years and i still dont know the ranks lol
Anything Sub T500 isn’t “good” imo. As soon as you think you are good at the game you will stop looking to improve.
i’ve been playing Masters/GM and i still think im terrible at the game.
I agree. Like, you look at us (Master/GM) and you still see the stupidest positioning and ability usage and when people call us good I go “wut?” The stupid positioning only goes away when you get maybe halfway through T500 or so.
Overwatch league.
Everyone below that is trash
I’d say Top OD-T2 isnt trash, just not as good. The people in Top OD can be absolutely insane.
Which sounds bizarre 
Here’s the official one from Kaplan. The other list is from data tracking sites.
I bet OP is like the ISIS of smurf apologists because rolling the low ranks helps make them “good” at the game.
Excuse me, what? Where tf do you get that lol.
Your post is so self-righteous and entitled that apologizing for smurfing would fall directly into your line of thinking.
Give an example. Humour me.
Okay…? Apologizing for something you did that was wrong, is bad now? Yes they should get banned, but…?
“Call me elitist, but I believe, until you hit 4200, you are still learning the BASICS of the game.”
Until a player is in the top 1%, they haven’t learned the basics of the game? This thought is asinine, entitled, arrogant, and ignorant.
Let’s make an OW to traditional sports comparison—basketball. The basics of basketball are Lay ups, Shooting, Foul Shooting, Passing, Dribbling and ballhandling. You don’t learn the basics in college or the NBA. You must know and master the basics way before getting to that level.
Yep, the basics in overwatch are ult tracking, positioning, awareness, mechanics, compositions and synergy (thats the big ones). When you hit 4200 you understand those skills. Before that, you really dont understand all them. T3 is college and OWL is NBA in this case.
The basics of OW are covered in 2-minute tutorial, which is why the tutorial exists.
Yeah… the tutorial is NOT Overwatch.
I agree, but it is the basics.
Sure, but I wouldnt consider that ALL of the basics. Its more of… learning what 1+1 is, so you can learn the rest of addition. addition is still basic
Addition itself is a basic concept of mathematics, yes. Let’s call addition left click. No, let’s call counting left click. Addition is more like an ability. It’s a necessary tool, but if done (or used incorrectly), you probably won’t get the correct answer.
It’s more odd simply because the traditional style of ranked ladders work more as well, a ladder, than Overwatch.
Overwatch’s system more focuses on getting people to where they belong as soon as possible rather than other games which typically start people off in the lower ranks and let them climb from there.
