What is the average TFT rank/elo?

I'm bronze 3 on this account and keep playing against plat 4. And I can't seem to find any bronze even silver in any matches. If in league of legends the average elo is bronze-silver, this does not translate to TFT.

The results of this poll were predictable

Platinum is deadass in the middle of the ladder. So it would be safe to assume the game, dividing the top and bottom 4 players as winners a losers, as a coin toss.

If you win, being top 4, your rank points towards Diamond with the opposite being true for the bottom 4 players.

So if the average winrate for a TFT player is 50% or they have a 1 in 2 chance of being a top 4 player then it would be no surprise that average TFT players fall into Platinum.

With winrate skewed based on the luck they get in the game. Item drops, champion rolls, match rotation, etc.

If you actually look up platinum players they aren't ranked anywhere near the middle. Here: https://lolchess.gg/leaderboards?hl=en-US

This further puzzles me as to why I'm facing so many platinums on my climb from bronze and silver.

Dont forget that 50% of all accounts registered in those sites are from people who played like 10-20 games and then never again, mostly because the game is new and due to how easy it is to create a new account and go ranked with it. I am pretty sure that 90% of all accounts that are being played on at least a game every 2 days consistently are gold+. I personally know a lot of people who play tft, at least 15-16 and not a single one is still silver, except for the dude who stopped playing shortly after his placements. given by far most of them are silver/bronze in soloq even after years of playing, i dont think i am around a horde of natural talents lol. Also, i check profiles a lot, it is very rare to find someone with silver or below tft elo, who has played more than a dozen of games.

I just started playing ranked and I've been a bit puzzled by the fact that I'm having to play against all plats and golds as I climb out of bronze and now silver. Is this normal? I'm not even sure it matters. I've whooped grandmaster players in normal and been beaten badly by silvers from time to time. I'm not really convinced there's that much difference between ranks really.

I've been high silver/low gold for a long while now, and don't think i've ever seen a platinum. Are you sure you aren't mistaking silver for plat, and iron for silver? I don't even see many golds, i'm silver 1 and it's usually throwing me against bronze, which really sucks because when you lose against lower ranks you lose a LOT of points, but since it's mostly RNG based the odds of winning/losing against plat is about the same as win/lose against bronze. It's great the rare games i get against a bunch of gold, because i typically win and get good LP from it. Thankfully they seem to have evened out LP gain/loss, so it's not 19 for first place, -48 for 8th

100% sure. I also have a diamond account. There I get matched up with silvers but very very rarely.
