According to a lot of people in valorant and discord and irl, ranks like diamond and ascendant are fairly easy if they've played fps before valorant.

I feel like I wanna be impressed by myself for passing silver, which was elo hell at the time i passed it and almost reaching diamond in that same act. But, is that just the average player rank as valorants a more common game now or did I just improve? Do people still wish they were good enough for the top 4 ranks like I used to?
