The Rocket League rank distribution has changed quite a bit coming into Season 12. Rocket League is a highly competitive game, making the ranking system highly important to dedicated players.

The rank distribution tells us how many players are in each rank, and shows which ranks have the highest and lowest population of players in the game. Here is the current rank distribution for Rocket League Season 12. 

What is Rocket League rank distribution?

Depending on the game mode, the Rocket League rank distribution stats might give you a good insight into why it's so hard to progress through your current rank and help you assess your own skill level.

As of the free-to-play update in 2021, the rank distribution shifted significantly to give players a little bit of leeway in climbing the ladder, and the addition of Supersonic Legends has also seen a mix-up at the top of the tree.

In our breakdown of the Rocket League rank distributions for Season 12, you'll be able to see what percentage of players are in your division, and what proportion of players you are higher than.

The majority of the 3v3 rank distribution is centred on the Diamond ranks. Here, you can see just how few players find the extra skills to escape Champ I, which is seemingly where the mechanical game becomes more relevant.

Rank Distribution Percentage
Supersonic Legend 0%
Grand Champion III 0.03%
Grand Champion II 1.03%
Grand Champion I 1.91%
Champion III  3.28%
Champion II 5.31%
Champion I 9.32%
Diamond III 9.47%
Diamond II 11.18%

So far, it seems no one has reached the heights of the SSL rank in Season 12, but it looks like it won't be long before it happens considering how high the ranks trend this season already.

Unlike this standard game mode, the Rocket League rank distribution for 2v2 is weighed in favour of the Champion and Diamond divisions, with most players easily escaping Platinum and the lower ranks.

Rank Distribution Percentage
Supersonic Legend 0%
Grand Champion III 0.01%
Grand Champion II 0.29%
Grand Champion I 3.13%
Champion III  5.05%
Champion II 8.46%
Champion I 13.59%
Diamond III 13.35%
Diamond II 14.17%

Rank distribution continued below...

Rank Distribution Percentage
Diamond I 13.72%
Platinum III 9.39%
Platinum II 6.99%
Platinum I 5.00%
Gold III 3.14%
Gold II 1.73%
Gold I 1.04%
Silver III 0.53%
Silver II 0.23%

Rank distribution continued below...

Rank Distribution Percentage
Silver I 0.11%
Bronze III 0.05%
Bronze II 0.02%
Bronze I 0.02%

In duos, most players begin to plateau between Plat III and Champ I, where players then struggle to create enough momentum to progress.

This game mode does rely on solo ability, so the higher you go, the more refined the percentages become, but you also get many players who play for fun excelling here given that you only need one friend to form a team.

Grand Champion III 0.28%
Grand Champion II 0.30%
Grand Champion I 0.55%

Supersonic Legend is more densely populated in 1v1 too, given that players can soar past Grand Champion by only relying on themselves.
