Stuck in Elo Hell after a long break
Am I actually playing this badly or is this normal? I was Level 10 for many years (max around 2330, always solo queue), and I used to average about 2100 Elo with a 50%+ win rate. Recently, I took a massive break from CS for almost a year. When I first came back, I started losing, but I didn't think much of it—figured I was just rusty, though I felt like I was playing fine. But the loss streak just wouldn't stop, and now I've tanked all the way down to 1280 Elo (Level 6 lol) with my win rate dropping to 28%. It genuinely feels like the only way to get a guaranteed win in this bracket is if I drop 30+ kills and pull a 1.85+ rating. Having a decent 1.3 - 1.4 rating just isn't enough to carry these lobbies anymore. I attached my stats. Are they actually that bad? Do I genuinely not deserve to win at this rank, or what am I doing wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.
