Suffering of the returning player
I've started playing in s4, got ~800 hours in the game and then took a 4 years break.
Started playing again a couple of months ago and the experience is miserable.
For some reason I'm getting put on the very right end of skill curve in unranked after not touching the game for years. Getting overrun by some guy with big scary numbers on his trackers every time. Generally feels bad to be a third wheel every match.
Tried ranked and it was fun until I reached platinum, where I don't belong. I feel like a bot in wildcard and in mixtape, same issue with opponents jumping my face and just oneclipping me.
It seems that I can't play against opponents of my skill (which is kinda low). Except for ranked, until I get out of gold, which seems easy to do just by getting carried.
So my main question is, is it that bad for every returning player? The matchmaking seems off, maybe it's confused by my playtime.
I guess the main advice could be to "git gud", but the process of improving isn't really fun if every opponent is leagues ahead of you skillwise.
Should I maybe make a new fresh account and see how it goes?
