Masters 0.9% (6,224)
Diamond 7.4% (52,163)
Plat 13.0% (91,798)
Gold 16.4% (116,175)
Silver 17.9% (126,535)
Bronze 44.4% (313,930)

That's every account that's completed the 5 placement games. If you exclude "inactive" accounts (only Blizzard knowing what exactly counts as inactive), the ratio pretty close to 20/20/20/20/20.

I vaguely remember reading that they count this as abusing the system, and could get you temp banned. I wouldn't recommend it.
