RankSurge is a free player-stats site. Look up a player to open a profile with a 0 to 100 score and Ask AI, compare two players in AI Profile Pick, and keep your accounts in the Player Hub. Live lookups cover Deadlock, CS2, Dota 2, Destiny 2, PUBG and World of Warcraft, from official APIs and public data services.

This start-here guide shows what each part of the site does, which games are live and why some are not yet, and which guide to read for each tool. It is current as of October 2026. Bookmark it and come back when you try something new.

Which games can you look up?

Game Status Why
Deadlock Live lookups Public match data via the open-source Deadlock API
Counter-Strike 2 Live lookups and inventory value Steam, plus Premier and FACEIT stats via Leetify
Dota 2 Live lookups Public match data via OpenDota
Destiny 2 Live lookups, Vault Manager and clan board Official Bungie.net API
PUBG: Battlegrounds Live lookups Official PUBG API
World of Warcraft Live profiles, guild board and leaderboards Official Blizzard Battle.net API
League of Legends and TFT Waiting on Riot approval We only use an approved Riot production key
Valorant Guides only Valorant data needs player opt-in through Riot
Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals Guides only No official public stats API

For games with no public data access, we do not scrape or use unofficial APIs, and we never estimate hidden MMR. When a game's data access changes, we update this table and the game's stats page.

What can you do on RankSurge?

How do you get started in three steps?

  1. Look yourself up: use Player Lookup, or sign in with Steam, Bungie or Battle.net in the Player Hub to open your own profile in one tap.
  2. Read Improve next: pick one stat to work on and ask the AI one question about it.
  3. Compare with a friend: run AI Profile Pick to see what each of you does better, then check again in a week.

Who is RankSurge for?

  • Players who want to improve: read your own dashboard, pick one weakness and track it week to week.
  • Duos, squads and guilds: compare with friends, save teammates and use the WoW guild board or Destiny 2 clan board.
  • Collectors and raiders: price a CS2 inventory, manage a Destiny 2 vault or fix missing WoW enchants before raid night.
  • New players: start with the beginner guides, then look yourself up after a few matches.

What is free, and what are the limits?

AI tools run a quick human check with Cloudflare Turnstile, which usually works in the background, per the Turnstile docs. If you hit any limit, the button shows a Wait countdown and unlocks by itself. See RankSurge Pro for details.

How does RankSurge keep your accounts safe?

  • Sign-ins happen on the publisher's site: Steam, Bungie.net and Battle.net, so we never see your password. Steam shares only your public SteamID64, per the Steam developer page.
  • Read-only where the API is read-only: the Battle.net API cannot change your WoW account, and no site can move CS2 items.
  • Destiny 2 is the exception: the Bungie.net API lets apps you approve move, equip and lock items, but never delete or trade them.
  • Stored on your device: the Player Hub has no RankSurge account; its lists live in your browser.
  • The AI never sees names: only stat numbers.

Which guides should you read first?

What does RankSurge not do?

  • No live lobby scouting: no overlays or alerts about players in your current match.
  • No hidden MMR estimates: Riot's policies ban MMR and ELO calculators, and we apply the same rule everywhere.
  • No scraping: if a game has no public data access, it gets guides until one exists.

Ask RankSurge AI about your profile. Look yourself up on Player Lookup, open your dashboard and ask your first question, then compare with a friend in AI Profile Pick. Every guide is in the Guide Library.

Frequently asked questions

Is RankSurge free?

Yes. Every profile, stats page, dashboard and guide on RankSurge is free, and the site is supported by clearly labelled ads. Free visitors also get 5 AI picks and 10 Ask AI questions a day. RankSurge Pro removes those daily limits in most games and turns off ads while you are signed in. League of Legends and TFT AI features stay equal for everyone.

Which games does RankSurge support?

Live lookups cover Deadlock, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Destiny 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds and World of Warcraft. League of Legends and TFT pages are ready and wait on Riot's approval of our production key. Valorant, Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals have guides and rank explainers, but no lookups, because there is no official data access we can use for them today.

Do I need an account to use RankSurge?

No. You can look up players, read dashboards, ask the AI and compare players without signing up. Signing in with Steam, Bungie or Battle.net is optional and only makes your own profile one tap away. The Player Hub stores your linked accounts and saved players in your browser on this device, not in a RankSurge account.

Where does RankSurge get its data?

From official APIs and public data services: the open-source Deadlock API for Deadlock, Steam and Leetify for CS2, OpenDota for Dota 2, the Bungie.net API for Destiny 2, the official PUBG API, and the Blizzard Battle.net API for World of Warcraft. For games with no public data access, we do not scrape. Our editorial policy explains how guides are researched and sourced.

Can RankSurge change anything on my game account?

Only in Destiny 2, and only if you connect the Vault Manager on Bungie.net. Then it can move, equip and lock items through Bungie's official API, but never delete, dismantle or trade them. Every other tool is read-only. Steam shares only your public SteamID64, Battle.net only your WoW character list, and no site can move CS2 or WoW items.

Does RankSurge show stats for players in my current match?

No. RankSurge has no live lobby scouting, overlays or in-game alerts. You only see profiles you look up yourself. We built it this way to keep the site fair and within each publisher's rules, and to keep the focus on improving your own play, reviewing matches and planning with friends.
