How Does Ranking System Work in Valorant?

Your Rank Rating is the number of points that you get after each competitive game. You earn RR points based on competition wins and your overall performance in the match, especially in lower tiers. To advance to the next tier, you need to accumulate 100 RR points.

How long does it take to rank up in VALORANT?

Realistically, even if you're playing around your MMR and are the match MVP in a decisive win, expect to get a bit less than 30-35 RR, consistently. That means it'll take about four to five solid victories in the competitive queue to get yourself to the next stage.
