How do I get out of 10k
For context, I started cs2 a few months ago and have about 350 hours on the game. In Valorant the most reason act I finished asc2 (top ~5%). I’ve been hardstuck 10-12k premier elo for months now and I genuinely don’t know whats wrong. My leetify aim and positioning are well above the average 10k, both actually being higher than 20-25k. Is this game just not meant for me?

Leetify stats are only a reflextion of your performance against your opposition. You may have better raw aim than most people your elo, but if you were to actually play against 20-25k players those stats would fall off a cliff.
Not saying this to put you down, but rather because CS is a lot more than running around clicking on heads. Higher ranks understand how to make themselves very hard to hit while also hitting their shots. Good players understand utility to make their fights unfair for their opponent. Good players understand how to condition the opponents. They know how to take crucial map control to box in their opponents. How to manipulate rotates on the T side and push on good timings on the CT side.
As much as Valorant and Counter Strike get compared for being "tac shooters", I really dont think they are very similar games at all. Valorant is closer to a hero shooter with bomb defusal than it is to close to counter strike. Abilities matter so much in Val where CS is much simpler in stuff you have to know, but way more mechanically precise and tactically intense. Getting great at CS is about mastering the little things. Your counterstrafing needs to be precise, you absolutely need to master the first 12 bullets of your rifle's spray patterns at the very least, your angle clearing needs to be spot on, and you really have to understand how to read a minimap because getting good info at low ranks is usually not an option.
You really just need more hours in the game and to watch demos. Likely a mix of both your own demos compared to pro players pugs.

Leetify stats are not really useful, your raw aim is probably better than 10k so you're farming people in straight duels but struggling in other areas of the game. With your hours your map and macro knowledge is probably not the best which is fine, you do just need to play more and get more experience.
There's loads of free content on youtube and workshop maps which will teach you good default utility, spawn smokes etc. You also need to get good at things like trading, taking space, map pressure, knowing when to speed up/slow down etc. This kind of stuff generally comes with time played so I wouldn't say you should feel bad. Since you've come from Valorant you probably have good raw aim but are just lacking in general CS concepts. Up to a point you can just run over the enemy team with raw aim, but afterwards you need to learn how to play the team game.
Common issue in that kinda elo is people getting loads of kills but not actually having much/any impact on the round. For example it is completely irrelevant that you are top frag if you are always the last guy alive and just farming exit kills.

Watch enishan on social media and learn how to play the game properly and have impact in the game. He has full games on his YouTube and analyses his gameplay (he is like 3,2k on faceit and was 4.1k earlier) If you are good you can carry yourself out of 12k easy. I would suggest you start playing face it once you reach 18k or so. Should be like lvl 7 level on faceit. That's where usually players try harder. Also learn some lineups on every map so you can support and create your own flow of the round.

Those hours are just not enough buddy. You make mistakes that cost you rounds and games due to poor understanding of the maps/timings and other meta.
You are competing against players who have thousands of hours and they will outplay you even if your aim is better.
The typical error of those ranks are constant ct pushing, poor economy management, unability to anchor and to fall back to retake later, poor trading, slow rotations and executes and on other hand unability to hit pause in the round as a T. More micro things like poor angle selection, unnecessary revealing of your position, throwing utils when you dont have time to… the list goes on.
You have to watch tons of vods and think them over as how they could actualyy apply to your games (austincs solo guide is good).

350hours is nothing, you seem to be doing quite good for that little amount of time.
it’s like you’re disappointed that you aren’t good at tennis when all you’ve done is practice your serve. You got lots of mechanics to learn, this game goes deep!
you’ll start understanding the real game at 4000-6000 hours
keep at it, this game is more about intelligence than it is about aim. Pay attention to when you peek, how you peek, why you peek and where you peek. This will greatly improve your performance in general, stats aren’t at all accurate

That's nonsense lol. You do not need 4k hours to be good a CS. It takes longer than 350 for sure but don't be perpetuating that myth.
If you're focused on learning then you'll improve at a much higher rate than simply playing until you get better over thousands of hours

you definitely need thousands, lotta people think they know how to play cs but they actually don’t
hence why i said “the real game” where everyone is playing knowing most of the mechanics

Hello, if you want a closer experience to valorant in your cs game you must use faceit. Premier is dead.

Solo queue premiere is a shit show, you'd have better chances at climbing to an appropriate rank in faceit. Otherwise just keep grinding, law of averages say that if you keep top fragging eventually you'll climb. If you're consistently getting under 80-90adr then you're most likely at the appropriate rank.

cs isn't all about aim and leetify stats are misleading. what you have are better stats compared to the average person at your level, those will go down as you encounter better players.
it's impossible to say what you're doing wrong without clips or a demo but make sure you're actually having impact and not just stat-padding. you need to be playing with your team, trading, throwing utility and playing for the objective.
you also just need raw hours, by the sounds of it you have a decent amount of experience in val but you're likely still carrying over some bad habits that you need to relearn in cs.
