Do you want to become one of the best of the best Rocket League players? You’ll need to know about the game’s ranking system to do that—and we’ve got you covered! Rocket League’s competitive mode has eight distinct ranks, most of which are subdivided into three tiers; winning matches increases your rank, while losing will decrease it. In this article, we’ll do a deep dive on Rocket League’s ranks, how progression works, and some more specific tips on increasing your personal rank!

Rocket League’s Competitive Mode Ranks

There are 8 competitive ranks in Rocket League: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, Grand Champion, and Supersonic Legend. All ranks but the highest have three tiers (for instance, Bronze I, Bronze II, and Bronze III), and those tiers each have four divisions of their own (Division I, II, III, and IV).

There are 8 core Rocket League ranks, plus several subdivisions. Those 8 ranks are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, Grand Champion, and Supersonic Legend (plus Unranked, which is the label players get before they’re ranked). Each rank (except the highest) is broken down into subranks I, II, and III; then, those subranks have four divisions, too—basically like milestones for players. For instance, progression would go from Bronze I Division I to Bronze I Division II, and so on. Here’s the full breakdown:^{[1]

- Unranked - The tier players automatically begin at before being assigned a rank via placement matches.
- Bronze - The lowest rank possible, usually assigned to players who are completely new to the game. Like all other ranks (except the highest), it has three divisions.
  - Bronze I (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Bronze II (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Bronze III (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
- Silver - The second-lowest rank, most often assigned to players who are developing their skills but still beginners.
  - Silver I (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Silver II (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Silver III (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
- Gold - A middle-of-the-road rank where many of Rocket League’s amateur players tend to go while they’re learning to grind their way to higher ranks.
  - Gold I (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Gold II (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Gold III (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
- Platinum - A middle rank for players who are finally developing some solid competitive skills (and, according to some Rocket League veterans, a bit of an ego).
  - Platinum I (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Platinum II (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Platinum III (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
- Diamond - Diamond is a step up in terms of competitiveness compared to previous ranks. The majority of players fall in the Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond ranks.
  - Diamond I (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Diamond II (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Diamond III (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
- Champion - A higher rank for players with serious Rocket League skills; at this level, players hone more advanced aerial techniques to excel.
  - Champion I (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Champion II (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
  - Champion III (Divisions I, II, III, IV)
- Grand Champion - The second-highest rank in Rocket League; at this rank, players are well-rounded and have mastery over a wide range of skills.^{[2]

What is MMR in Rocket League?

MMR is a hidden value that determines your place in the rankings. Everything pretty much comes down to MMR (matchmaking ranking) in Rocket League’s competitive mode. That’s because your MMR is a numerical rating that determines the rank you’re assigned, and subsequent changes to your MMR lead to changes in your rank, too! But, by default, you can’t see your exact MMR—only your current rank.^{[3]

- Additionally, your MMR is different in all Rocket League competitive playlists based on your performance as a player!

How Ranks & Progression Work in Rocket League

1
Rocket League ranks players separately in each playlist. You actually get an individual rank for each competitive playlist, rather than one single rank for all of them—so your rank in Solo Duel could be totally different from your ranks in Doubles and Standard. That means players who want to increase their rank could try grinding in one playlist, or attempt to raise their rank as high as possible in all of them.
- While Solo Duel, Doubles, and Standard are the main competitive playlists, there’s also Hoops, Rumble, and other extra modes (which all have separate ranks and MMR values, too).
2
A series of placement matches determines your initial rank. The first time you play a particular competitive playlist, you’ll have to compete in a series of ten placement matches. Then, the game uses your performance in those matches to calculate an initial MMR (and subsequent rank). Of course, your MMR and rank can change—placement matches simply determine where you start out!^{[4]

Winning matches raises your rank, and losing lowers it. Progression in Rocket League is pretty simple: the more you win, the higher your MMR (and, in time, rank) will rise; the more you lose, the lower your MMR (and rank) will become. The goal is to raise your MMR enough to cross the threshold of each rank division—and, eventually, each rank. For instance, if you’re in Silver I and your MMR rises enough to cross the points threshold for Silver II, that’d become your new rank!
- Each win or loss shifts your MMR by a certain amount, depending on the match’s balance. Over time, those wins and losses add up, which is how you can gain ranks (or lose them).
4
Rocket League does a soft reset after each competitive season. Basically, a soft reset walks back players’ MMR, bringing them back down toward “average” levels. In other words, you won’t completely lose your progress, but your rank will get pulled back towards the middle of the road just a little. It’s enough that players usually spend the early days of a new season regaining the MMR points they lost during the reset!^{[5]

- When a season ends, rewards are also distributed based on the highest rank you achieved! And, of course, the higher the rank you earn, the better the items you’re given.

Rank Distribution in Rocket League

Rank distribution measures the percentage of players that fall under each rank! As we’ve already mentioned, the bulk of players tend to fall under the Gold, Platinum, and Diamond ranks (in other words, the middle ranks), but of course, the exact numbers are always changing. Take a look at the current overall rank distribution for Rocket League:^{[6]

How to Improve Your Rank in Rocket League

Download Article

1
Get really good at the basics, including aim and ball control. Can you send the ball in a particular direction, or toward a specific spot? Can you control your movement when you hit the ball, and use boosts sparingly (but effectively) to get the ball where it needs to go? Spend plenty of time practicing the fundamentals of Rocket League; as simple as it might seem, knowing the game inside and out is the only way to get better!
- Once you’ve got the basics down to a science, you can move on to the more advanced techniques—but if you try learning the tricky stuff without a solid foundation, it’ll be that much harder to improve.
- There are plenty of YouTube guides and training packs to help you get better with the game’s mechanics; don’t be afraid to try them out!
2
Tweak your camera settings for best visibility. Camera settings are actually pretty important in Rocket League—so much so that content creators who make a name for themselves playing the game actually publish their settings! See if you can find solid camera settings that help you get a full view of the field and other cars; the extra visibility can really boost your performance in matches.
- It’s also important to get used to the Ball Cam (so you can line up clean hits when the ball gets close).
3
Learn to make shots that’ll trip up your opponents. Once you’ve become a really good shot in Rocket League, you can plan out shots that’ll be especially hard for opponents to save. We’re talking about shots off side walls, corners, and so on. If you get the chance to cause your opponent a little struggle, definitely take it! It’s also a good idea to start playing at elevation, chasing balls in the air or off of walls.
- Once again, it’s a good idea to look at YouTube video guides and other content from pro Rocket League players; you’re bound to pick up some advanced moves to try.
4
Practice your skills in freeplay or casual mode. We’ve already mentioned how important practice is, and there’s a perfect place for it: Rocket League’s freeplay mode. The higher your rank gets, the harder it can be to practice your techniques while you’re actually in the middle of a match! That’s why it’s a good idea to stop playing competitively for a bit and dip into freeplay, where you can focus purely on honing your skills without competing with anyone.
- For instance, try some warm-up games or training packs while in freeplay. Practice aerials, aiming, dribbles, or any other skill you want to improve!
5
Be patient (and take a break if you get frustrated). Again, this might seem too simple—but it’s really important to remember! It’ll take time to raise your rank, especially if you’re working across multiple playlists. So don’t rush it too much and take time to actually hone your skills. And when you’re in the middle of a match, try not to get too worked up! Relax yourself, especially when you can feel the stress kicking in. Take a deep breath, walk away for a bit if you’re frustrated.
- Playing while you’re angry will probably just lead to more mistakes, which is why it’s better to take a break when you need one!
