Some Ranked Statistics.

[quote=Kazega]I was curious as to where I stood compared the rest of the North American Server (Top 47%), so I did some digging. after a bit I decided to pull up some stats so you can make similar comparisons [color=#00ffff][h2][u][b]DIAMOND TIER[/u][/b][/h2]-19,000 Players, 2.1% of Players -Top 2% of Players --[b][u]The top 2% are at Diamond V at about 9 LP and above[/u][/b] -8052 players are Tier V -6820 are Tiers IV-II -4128 are Tier I[/color] [color=#800080][h2][b][u]Platinum Tier[/u][/b][/h2]-66,132 Players total, 7.2% of Players -26,710 are Tier V -26,680 are Tiers IV-II -12,742 are Tier I[/color] [color=#ffff00][h2][b][u]Gold Tier[/u][/b][/h2]-165,105 Players Total, 18.0% of Players -76,451 Are Tier V --[b][u]The Top 25% of players are Gold V at about 28 LP and above[/b][/u] -66, 532 are Tiers IV-II -22,122 are Tier I --[b][u]The top 10% are Gold I at about 74 LP and above[/b][/u][/color] [color=#808080][h2][b][u]Silver Tier[/u][/b][/h2]-382,671 Players, 41.9% of Players -114,711 are Tier V --[b][u]The most players are Silver V, which contains 12.5% of all players[/u][/b] -198,203 are Tiers IV-II --[b][u]The top 50% are Silver IV at about 53 LP and above[/b][/u] -69,757 Are Tier I[/color] [color=#808000][h2][b][u]Bronze Tier[/h2][/b][/u]-279,769 Players, 30.6% of Players -25,722 are Tier V -173,042 are Tiers IV-II] -81,005 are Tier I --[b][u]The top 75% are Bronze I at about 36 LP and above[/u][/b] --[b][u]Bronze I contains the second most players, 8.8% of all players[/color][/b][/u] [url=http://www.lolsummoners.com/stats/rankings#]Source[/url] (Updated regularly so this info is already woefully out of date when it comes to specific numbers) You can search for summoners from this sight as well to get a more accurate placings.[/quote]

[quote=SkidmarkD]Smurf accounts taint the numbers. That being said, I'm in the top 50%, yay, I'm above average. :D[/quote]

[quote=I post stuff]According to these stats being Bronze is an achievement.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]how is being top 75% an achievement...that means only 25% of players are under you also i thought the numbers were a bit smaller at higher ranks and bigger at lower ranks[/quote]

[quote=I post stuff][quote=DillButt64] how is being top 75% an achievement...that means only 25% of players are under you also i thought the numbers were a bit smaller at higher ranks and bigger at lower ranks [/quote] Because less people are in Bronze than in Silver.[/quote]

[quote=Kazega][quote=DillButt64] how is being top 75% an achievement...that means only 25% of players are under you also i thought the numbers were a bit smaller at higher ranks and bigger at lower ranks [/quote] It's not really supposed to be noteworthy. I did 50 and 25 so, I figured why not do 75 as well jsut to show where the lines are. I studied statistics a bit in high school so its a pet peeve of mine to not be rounded out like that. The system is supposed to be a bell curve, not a hyperbole. that's why there are so few Bronze V's compared to the rest of Bronze League. the curve spikes at Bronze I and SIlver V. Also the ranking system supports higher numbers at either end of the leagues with the how difficult it is to make Silver/Gold?Plat/Diamond V from the previous league and the (current) inability to drop down to the previous league. Also I double checked my work. I was up pretty late when I posted this last night, made minor fixes to where the lines are[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael][quote=idmb22] I would say that Divisions V have so many players because of not being able to drop from your current League unless you are at 0 LPs and Inactive. Bronze V is the bottom, so people can't go lower in Ranked Leagues, they only can go up. However, in the rest of the Leagues, they can go up and down. [/quote] That is the reason @I post stuff That's pretty much like saying that being homeless in your country is an achievement because there are more people that have homes than homeless people[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian][quote=I post stuff] According to these stats being Bronze is an achievement. [/quote] Bronze SHOULD be an achievement, it shouldn't be a medal that says that you suck at this game .[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i dont remember ranked in season 2 but wouldnt you only get bronze at a certain elo and under that you were labeled as unranked? the thing is being grouped with the lowest ranked players isnt an achievement, even if there are more people in silver im pretty sure that even though theyre extending the higher tiers a bit that there are going to be more people in the lower tiers because theyre taking off the whole "not drop a tier" so you wont have silver V's sitting there when they belong in bronze, same with gold and plat and diamond, which i think is amazing because of how disheartening it is to see players in gold V playing like shit or trolling and having the mmr of a silver 4 player itll be nice seeing people actually be placed where they belong rather than having a duo partner or elo boost or something carrying them up and trolling the rest of the season[/quote]

[quote=Napoleon D]TOP 75%? The numbers a lot lower. Keep in mind there are many unraked players and they would be considered lower than bronze 5 plebians [quote=tehAsian] [quote=I post stuff] According to these stats being Bronze is an achievement. [/quote] Bronze SHOULD be an achievement, it shouldn't be a medal that says that you suck at this game . [/quote] Bronze is a achievement . But Azingy and Mimer used to be bronze, now one of it Best amumu NA and the other has 4 challenger acocunts. Its a symbol for you to reflect back on, Besides its better than being unranked where nobody knows what you did for the season[/quote]
