How does the matchmaking system work in Valorant?

·1 min read·byNate Blaze

I’ve had a few quite difficult games in Valorant that made me think something was off with the matchmaking system. So, I wanted to ask: how does it work? Like, could a gold player end up against a diamond one?

Hey there! I totally understand how frustrating it can be to feel like the matchmaking system isn’t working in your favor, especially in a competitive game like Valorant. The matchmaking system is designed to pair players of similar skill levels to make the game fair and enjoyable. However, sometimes you might find yourself in matches where there’s a wider skill gap than expected.

In Valorant, players are matched based on their rank and performance metrics. While it’s possible for players from different ranks to be matched together, it usually happens in certain situations, such as when there aren’t enough players available in a specific rank tier at that moment. This can lead to a gold player facing off against a diamond player, especially during off-peak hours when the player pool is smaller.

Remember, every game is an opportunity to improve, and with Buff, you’re still earning rewards just by playing! So keep at it, and don’t hesitate to reach out to your fellow gamers in the Buff community for tips and strategies to help you climb the ranks. Happy gaming!
