You can never see your Matchmaking Rating or MMR in?Valorant. Instead, you can measure your performance through gains and losses and by focusing on strategic thinking and skills. While you can't see the exact number, here's how to understand your hidden MMR and how it affects your climb in the ranked ladder.?

Why You Cannot see your MMR in Valorant

Riot?wants players to focus on improvement and strategic thinking, not obsessing over a specific MMR number. A visible MMR could lead to arguments between teammates or opponents that are too focused on the number rather than the game itself.

What you can see Instead:

• Your Rank.?Your visible rank (Iron to Radiant) reflects your MMR to some degree. Generally, a higher rank indicates a higher MMR. However, these can differ slightly.

• Rank Rating (RR) Gains/Losses.?The amount of RR you win or lose per match is influenced by MMR. More RR for wins against higher ranks hints at a higher MMR.

What is MMR and How does it Work?

MMR = Skill Rating.?Once you reach level 20 and complete 5 placement matches, you're in for the ranked mode and this will determine your skill and starting rank. Valorant will determine and evaluate your skills using Match Making Rating or MMR. These assigned values pit you against players of similar skill.?

This MMR is adaptive. It goes up with wins and down with losses, ensuring balanced matches.?

Estimating your MMR

Just because you cannot see your MMR, doesn't mean you cannot track your progress anymore. Here are ways to measure your rating:

Track Your Rank and Performance

Consistent wins, especially against higher-ranked players, suggest a higher MMR than your current rank might show. Conversely, frequent losses or struggles against lower-ranked opponents could indicate an MMR below your rank. You can use one of my recommended Valorant Tracker apps to help keep track of your Valorant matches and statistics.

Gains/Losses

The amount of RR you gain for wins and lose for defeats is influenced by your MMR. Generally, you will gain more RR for wins and lose less for losses if your MMR is higher than your current rank. The opposite happens if your MMR is lower.

Community Resources

The Valorant community is vast and resourceful. Online guides and discussions might offer methods to estimate MMR based on factors like win streaks, performance against specific ranks, etc. However, these methods are unofficial and may not be entirely accurate.

Just Focus on Yourself not on Your MMR

Don't get hung up on a hidden number. Analyze your gameplay, practice, and climb the ranks! As your skills improve, your MMR and visible rank will naturally rise, placing you in more challenging and rewarding matches.?After all, the goal is to become a better player.
