Peaked Immo 2 around 3 yrs ago, can't get out of Diamond now. Any tips?
As the title suggests, got tired of the Valo grind and life got busy so I played sparingly and got placed to Ascendant then I quit. Came back to Valorant last Act, got placed to Gold 3 then I slowly climbed to Diamond.
My problem now is that whenever I play I seem to do well (top or 2nd frag) when I'm queued with teammates and opponents who are high plat/low diamond. But when I get queued with and against asc/dia players, my performance suddenly drops to the bottom half.
As for my mechanics, I can still consistently hit 25/30 hard bots with rifles and 18 with a Sheriff. However, when queued with higher elo players than me now I seem to forget how to play my game therefore resulting to my poor performance. Are there any practical tips I can use to adjust my game accordingly? Should I try to learn new agents to find the passion and fun for the game again?
I'd like to get back to Immo if I can, but yeah as of now that seems to be a long shot. Btw I'm mainly a controller player who can play duelist on the side. But my friends used to say that I'm meant to be a duelist since my aim, reaction time, and flicking is suitable for entrying a site. But I stuck with being a controller since I like being able to control the team's pace with my smokes.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
