It is hard to understand in the new system, but:

Around 50% of playerbase doesn't play solo ranked games at all. In the old system, top 25% players was in bronze or higher (1250 + elo, you started from 1200) It is safe to say that top 35% players are silver or Higher now, since you start from around Silver. Gold rating was always balanced to claim top 10% of the playerbase, but since they added Diamond and then Challenger, Probably sth like 15% of players are Gold or higher. Platinum or higher takes up ~ 5%, Diamond 1-2%, and Challenger is only 1 tier with like 130 people, so it's way less than 1%.
