Overwatch 2 is here and players are looking for rank distribution in Competitive Season 1. Rank distribution gives you a percentage of the entire player base at a certain game rank. And if your rank is unlocked, it will let you know where you rank against the competition. So without further ado, check out the current rank distribution in Overwatch 2.
Rank distribution in Overwatch 2
The rank distribution below is based on data from the original Overwatch. Since the ranking system hasn’t changed between the two games, here’s where the player base for each rank is.
- Bronze – 8%
- Silver – 21%
- Gold – 32%
- Platinum – 25%
- Diamond – 10%
- Master – 3%
- Grandmaster – 1%
But here are a few things you should consider regarding the above distribution as it will most likely change based on these two main factors.
- Lots of New Players: Since Overwatch 2 has gone free-to-play, there are many more players than ever before across all platforms. Thus, there is a good chance that the percentage of players at lower ranks will increase. This brings us to the second reason for changing the rank distribution.
- Bronze 5 placement bug: There is an infamous Bronze 5 placement bug in the game. In this bug, every time you rank up, you still get the same rank, i.e. Bronze 5. And although this may not affect for every player in the game. Many players have reported experiencing this issue.
Thus, even if the rank distribution remains the same for higher ranks. It’s safe to say that there can be a noticeable difference in the distribution for Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum players.
This covers this guide to the current Competitive Rank distribution in Overwatch 2 (Season 1).
