What is the "average" rank

[topfoxrider]

So simply put what is the most common rank for cs go? If you were to take a bell curve what rank would be the one in the middle? Anyone know?

Silver 1 up to Elite is "lower Skill"
Nova 2 until MG2 is "midskilled"
ad MGE you get "high(er)skilled" the most common ranks are around SEM/GN1/GN2 i would say.

You have to exclude hackers, if you take a look the Ammount of ranks drops after MG1 and raises up REALLY high at DMG (high hack compensation) and drops slightly by going higher.

Ive seen this picture too but I have trouble believing that the common person in cs go is nova 2 to MG2. If you've ever played a casual game nearly everyone on there play like very low silvers. I think you're giving me the median and thats not really what Im asking for.

Although I never ruled out the possiblity that the average joe is a master gaurdian, it just seems so unlikely

Ppl in casual don't always have ranks though.
Some of them don't venture into MM.

In all reallity, Silver is the average ranked new player, and a casual player is about Nova rank, but The Most Common rank is DMG.

Average Rank just means, the middle one from lowest to highest so it would be GN2 / GNM, but they playerbase isn't like that, they are more in the "lowskilled"-corner. I started CSGO in 2013 my first matches i got matched with GN4 up to MG2 and my first Rank after my first 10 MMs ever was MG1 and 2 Matches after MG2 - so it's hard to tell depending on unranked matches. You will be just matched and the MM Systems adjust the MM to your Skilllevel (or just playstyle at THIS very moment)

Yep by % DMG is the most common, and the Rank with the most Hackerinfluence, you see that alltime if VAC is rolling down a Banwave and the DMGs are dropping all the time out.

As a supreme master first class, it is really hard to suggest an average rank, most players now-a-days are either boosted or carried. most decent skilled players who know most of their surroundings and have a clear game sense is around MGE. In my opinion MGE or MG2 is the average rank of most csgo players. If you try harder and try to work as a team it will give you so much more of a chance to win.

Assuming that the player ranks are following the Gaussian distribution, you'll have about 2/3 of players between Nova1 and MG2.

If by average you mean when are you better than 50% of CS players... I think this is somewhere around Nova 4/MG1 but I have no proof whatsoever.

I honestly don't know what the % value in the in-game leaderboards mean. I have 19.2% there on this account (MGE), some guy from my friendlist has 8.2% (Nova 4) and some other guy has 87.9% (Nova 2). Absolutely no clue what it means.

The problem is we don't know what distribution they are using. Valve have not provided any information about this.
It could look as this: http://www.vakarm.net/files/news/L4p/dossier/elo/elo_skillgroups.jpg
or any other type of distribution.
Good example is League of Legends rank distribution: http://www.lolsummoners.com/stats
50% player is at silver 2 (7th lowest rank of 27)
(I'm not sure how statistic therms are called in english)

Could someone here possibly provide a chart that shows what % you are above/below average using normal distribution. For example, ranks GN1-GNM might be within the 50% range, but once you get to something like LEM you are now above 95% of the population in terms of skill. Sadly, I don't know how I could do this which is why I ask for someone else to. It would be a very interesting thing to see indeed!

For EU players, the average rank is said to be GN2, while US is MG1, and the most populated ranks are DMG and GN4

I think steam may be harsh now and put ppl in silvers who should be gold nova i started in silvers and had to work up to mge...... steam doesnt take a second look and i think many are being misplaced.
