Just swing every angle with confidence. I literally climbed to Immortal ego peeking fights and getting man advantages for my team.

W put he needs to learn how to swing probably the problem just dry peeking everything is gonna get you slammed but learning how to peek what peek to use and slicing the pie ego peeking is the move

You've reached the ceiling of your current skill. But not your TOTAL ceiling.

Ask yourself, when was the last time you aim trained for 30min every day for a week? When was the last time you hopped on custom games to practice/find out new stuff for the agents you play? When was the last time you recorded your gameplay and reviewed it?

If you get a KD of 35/14 and lose, what's your reaction? Is it to complain about dropping over 30 kills and still losing? Or is it a winner's mentality: I died 14 times, were all of these deaths necessary? Did I really have the maximum impact I could have every round? Why did I finish 35/14 instead of 35/13, could I really not have avoided a single one of these deaths?

You've reached a plateau (we all do). Now it's time to improve, not to mindlessly play ranked.

Good luck man, if you got to plat you can definitely get to diamond.

You care about a little badge too much. Take it less seriously and put less pressure on yourself to rank up. Focus on improvement rather than rank.

why cant people just play irrelevant of the rank, yes you should be competitive but dont let that affect you where you forget you're playing a game for fun at the end of the day.

are you a student of the game? do you try to play your agent to the fullest using all their little gimmicks? aim-duels are indeed just one part of the game. I have been stuck in gold/silver for a year but I can hold my own in plat/diamond lobbies when I play. I avoid taking aim duels and util spam them effectively (sova/cypher/KJ). Im not confident sometimes in my aim-duels so I just dont take them fairly. Another thing I usually notice is people just dont play the game enough, if you keep playing somewhat frequently, you will get better. Im pretty sure your plat games from a year ago look different than the current matches. The new ascendant rank introduction doesnt help, the episode reset doesnt help bringing higher elo players to your elo. Taking these two into consideration I dont think you should be upset.
