Elo plummeting and fast
Let me start off by saying I am not the greatest player in the world, but would consider myself better than the average player. I’ve been playing CS for just shy of 8 years but up until the past year never touched faceit. I decided to pick it up and very quickly climbed to level 10 in around 211 matches as a predominantly solo queue player right before the elo reset. Now here’s where the problem begins. Foolishly I admit I played all 10 of my placement games in 1 day as I was leaving soon for a couple weeks and wanted to get them out of the way. I will also admit that in these games I was not performing to the best of my abilities and really played Russian roulette with 6 bullets solo queuing. This resulted in me dropping to level 7 after going 2-8 in placements. Besides the obvious horrible teammates excuse (multiple people I played with that day got banned) I really don’t know what happened. Shortly after I went on a 3 week vacation and was very excited to get back on the game fresh and mind fully cleared and was actually looking forward to grinding my way back to level 10. That was short lived as over the past two days I have continued to lose (only 3 games) but have fell to level 6 now and really am at a loss of words. Besides the obvious “find people to play with”, “take a break” I really don’t know what to do anymore. I feel lost and don’t know how I can get back to my old form and performance. Could this be my worst slump of all time or am I really just that unlucky?
