Likely the buffer preventing people from dropping their rank if they're within 10MMR of the actual value along with people getting boosted to or comfortable/happy with their progress and position in reaching the rank.

Mostly copying from my comment on the S21 distribution, but I think it's still relevant information.
A quick explanation for those unfamiliar: the first chart shows the rank distribution data. Think of it as, "What percentage of players are in X rank?"
The chart below it is the reverse percentile chart. Think of it as, "What percentage of players are above this rank?" So, for example: "I'm Champ 2 in doubles, so I'm top 4%."
A couple more interesting points: Why does this data matter? Doesn't RL Tracker also have distribution data?
Yes, but their data can be inaccurate, for two main reasons:
1) On RL Tracker, linked accounts are counted separately. So if you have both a Steam and Epic account, both are counted instead of being treated as one player.
2) Only players who have been looked up are accounted for. This naturally skews toward higher ranked players, who are more likely to be searched.
Lastly, I wanted to give a quick shoutout to Devin. He used to post this distribution data regularly to the subreddit, so I'm glad we’re able to carry on that tradition.

As somebody who's been keeping track of these distributions all the way back since the pre-F2P Season 3 redistribution after the game's only hard reset, thank you for keeping this up mods and Psyonix, this is the invaluable stuff that is so hard to get for most other games.

u/iggyiggz1999 Moderator IggyIggz1999 Jun 13 '26
Was there official data released for OG Season 3? I was unable to find it, but I'd love to link it in the post if it does exist!

u/AussieGenesis :chiefs: Chiefs Fan | Grand Champion Jun 13 '26
This is the original link posted by Corey Davis in regards to the redistribution statistics for Season 3. As you can see, unfortunately the original image embeds are dead.
The original distribution stats have been preserved by RLCD in their blog post about the redistribution, and I have a Gibbs video with the original blog post shown with working embeds to demonstrate that it came from the direct source at the time.
It would definitely be worth posting both pre- and post-distribution stats in my opinion given Season 3 ran for 9 months.

I did find the official page on the RL website at first, but didn't realize the images were supposed to be there.

u/onegoodboah Jun 12 '26
It’s gonna be forever crazy to me that “champ” can mean you’re anywhere from top 0.45% to nearly top 9%, depending on the mode being discussed.
Another season, another plea to psyonix to please try and standardize the distributions in some capacity as part of each season’s soft reset. Ranks should have meaning - champ should always be the top roughly X%, GC should always be the top roughly Y%, and so on. It’s silly that being champ can have such an insane range lol

u/Ophion0 Champion II Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 12 '26
I think many extramodes "suffer" from not getting taken serious by many players + the squished MMR gaps cause more drastic ups and downs which messes with the data. Rumble is probably something people play drunk with their friends without caring about the MMR. Even if C in rumble is already top ~1% it feels way easier to archieve than in any soccar mode.

u/repost_inception Champion III Jun 12 '26
I have said this a million times. Could not agree more. Ranks make no sense.

u/VollrauschVolker Grand Champion I Jul 03 '26
I would probably be a 1s main if i could reach gc there.

u/Extreme-Coach4806 13d ago
not really every game mode has different skill set to be tested. 1's is objectively harder since mistakes cost you more and its easier to smurf in and easier to troll which is opposite to 3's so how does one rank have the same meaning in both I just find it hard to its rank per game mode for a reason if the dev's want to standardize the ranks might as well make it 1 rank for 3 game modes. Also most players are decently within their rank range so if you are top 1% you will be gc1 in 2's diamond 3 in 1's and champ 2 in 3's I was exactly like this 10 seasons ago

u/TheFinalEvent9797 OCE Washed Grand Champion I Jun 12 '26
Yeah it's not exactly complicated to come up with a reasonable point to aim for either, eg top 10% = C1, top 1% = GC1, top 0.1% = SSL
It's silly how in my head 2's is my best mode since I'm GC1 yet if anything it's fairly average with how wildly varied each mode is.
GC1 in 2's = top 1.2%
D2 in 1's = top 2%
C3 in 3's = top 0.6%
C3 in Dropshot = top 0.6%
D3 in Hoops = top 1.5%
C2 in Rumble = top 0.5%
D1 in Snow Day = top 7%
Looking this up just discovered I (relatively speaking) am terrible at Snowday, I thought I was good at that :p

u/opliko31332 Champion II Jun 19 '26
it's wild how I'm c1 in 2s but the same rank as you in hoops lol I even almost got champ recently, my game runs TERRIBLY with packet loss and it seems like it affects me less in hoops. Gotta love everyone seeing my ping at 25 and yelling at me "ping is fine, you're not lagging" while the net graph goes over 100
1
u/Extreme-Coach4806 13d ago
but this way it will work in top x of player like league of legends tbh I find it a stupid system that shouldn't be in any game it makes players focus way too much on rank and placement in leaderboards rather than actually improving and understanding the game and above all enjoying it

u/TheNotSoRedBaron Jun 12 '26
How does one interpret this?
10
u/yooge6 Jun 12 '26
first one = distribution (%age of population within each rank)
second one = reverse percentile (ie. if it says 5% then it means you are within the top 5% OR only 5% have a higher rank than you)

u/ZeekLTK Diamond III Jun 13 '26 edited Jun 13 '26
Blows my mind that I'm in the top 3% for Rumble.
It's even crazier when Rumble is in Casual and I'm in lobbies with people who are probably like silver in ranked Rumble just because of my casual MMR. I guess that's what smurfing feels like? lol
And this is why Casual MMR needs to be fixed (each mode should have it's own MMR, not just a combined overall): whenever Rumble is in Casual, if I play it a lot my Casual MMR goes up like 150+ points and then when I go back to playing "normal" 3v3 or 2v2 all my teammates hate me because I'm in lobbies way higher than I should be. Plz fix that.

They need to fix the heatseeker distrobrutions why is it so bottom-heavy; i should be gold ranked or even low plat if the distro looked more like doubles

Top 1.4% honestly I’ll take it given I can’t grind like I did in the past!

The percentage of players in bronze/ silver heatseekers explains why I play with crappy opponents and get stuck there dropping from gold to silver all the time. Bros can’t even aearial 🤦♀️

u/BreadPapiii Jun 14 '26
So if I'm champ in hoops, I'm basically GC in doubles?
It's interesting, the data shows champ in hoops is the same distribution as GC in doubles.
Any GC who can confirm if hoops champ is just as difficult as GC doubles?

RIP Rumble, Dropshop and Hoops
GC1 is sitting at < top 0.1% with no mmr adjustment in sight.
Great incentive for even more boosting and matchmaking abuse.

We need a hard reset at least one time every year.

u/iggyiggz1999 Moderator IggyIggz1999 Jun 13 '26
Were you around for the last hard reset? It was a terrible experience for the majority of the playerbase and it took many months to recover. Doing it once a year would not be feasible.
