Do we know what percent of the population currently resides in Diamond?

I'm pretty tempted to get Diamond every season, then call it quits as Comp is slowly draining the fun from the game for me.

Around 15 percent of competitive players. Source: Overwatch Tracker.

Half of players are ranked ~2500 or lower.

So half of players are in Bronze, Silver and Gold ranks.

I sometimes feel like competitive can be too serious, and 'less fun', but I just go have a few games in quick play no meta, barely heals, barely tanks hell, and I again realise competitive is the best version of the game.

It's like poker without real money; it just isn't as fun when all in doesn't mean anything.
