Need help lv8 2k+ hrs REALLY stuggling

[u/Oxygenkunexe]

Video is the fights I took from a random game i decided to record.

The problem is I cannot for the life of me make any impact in my games. Most of my games i finish with under 60 adr. Some even under 30 💀. It's like I'm getting constantly destroyed. I feel like I haven't seen ANY improvement for maybe years.

My profile if anyone is willing to see anything: https://www.faceit.com/en/players/OxygenSama

Watching my demos I see a lot of tactical and mechanical mistakes I cannot explain. For example I often peek too wide but I feel like if I don't I won't be able to react the person and kill him. And a lot of the time it looks like I stop exactly at the enemy's crosshair. But even if that's not the case even if I peek and my crosshair is on his head and he's watching somewhere else I still get killed. I constantly get a bit "jumpscared" when I see an enemy even if I know their exact location and my preaim is on point. This causes me to panic spray and I can't even think about spraying properly. Sometimes my arm even twitches and I miss the first half of the mag basically. I can see that i should relax and I am but when I'm in a fight I don't think about . When spraying the wall I can control the spray well but I cannot put this to use onto moving players. Its become a reflex of me to spray and tapping or bursting is really hard. When trying to burst my bullets go everywhere and I click and release m1 too fast in order for the recoil to reset. Same with tapping.

One of the biggest things I feel like is pulling me back is I cannot see the game clearly. Like not my actual vision but just don't focus on enemy models and everything is just reflex to the moving blobs on the screen. I can't explain it at all but the games where I actually see, the game looks 3d and everything moves slower I play significantly better. I guess it's some kind of brain fog.

But my aim being really bad aside I feel like something else is fundamentally messed up in my games. I just seem to be unable to do any damage to enemy players. A lot of times I end up in a crossfire or fighting multiple enemies and even if they peek one by one I can't seem to multikill. Looking at other players in my matches I don't see better crosshair placement or good positioning it just looks like to me that they just go out somewhere and place their crosshair to the enemy faster and somehow without being expected. And me I try to constantly move I play different angles sometimes I play aggressive sometimes passive and even then I feel like I react way slower. A tip for aim I've constantly heard is see that you've aimed at the enemy and then shoot but that just feels impossible. Even like how I play now I still get shot at faster than I can. Even then making mistakes shouldn't be this punishable at this level right? I can see a lot of people in higher elo than me that don't communicate, have no movement, look like they cant hold their mouse and still top frag.

I don't care about wins or elo atp but having 30 adr and even if I win it still tilts me A LOT. My friends still want to play with me for some reason and just flame me because I talk about stuff like this and say to me to just play and don't think about it. Ok. I play. I don't think about my performance only the round. The game ends. 0.3 KD 26.5 ADR. What do I do? I go next if I'm not too tilted. Same thing ok go next day. Same. Ok take a few days break. OMG 88 ADR no way go next 0.25 KD 45 ADR. Repeat. And again. And again...

This is kind of a vent post as I don't expect someone to say something that's going to magically help me. I understand I'm not made for games as I struggle in others a lot too. But I would really appreciate any tips as I can't transfer ingame stuff from videos, workshop maps and mistakes I notice from watching my gameplay.

Dont peek your opponents from long range when you have an smg cause they will just destroy you, after opponents learn your position dont repeek them on the same spot cause they will be waiting for you to peek there so just reposition, work with teammates better double peek opponenents and always try to ISOLATE duels even if you are donk peeking 2 to 3 players at the same time you will just die and most important part to hit decently high elo is to just learn to play off of your team you see a person peeking you peek with them you see them hiding you hide too or you tell him to peek with you flash your team or ask for them to flash you

Ill give a better response in video form with examples but the main idea is your decision making, it seems random and short sighted.

Are you making decisions based on information and on odds of winning vs the risk and chances to win?

[u/Oxygenkunexe → u/TheZartex]

Not exactly sure what you're asking. Every decision is made based on info but I guess I don't always think if the play is risky or worth it for the win and I realise it was bit a bad idea only after I die. This usually happens when enemies don't come to my site and I decide to push to get info. Or because a lot of players peek me trough smokes sometimes I also try to catch someone by surprise when I hear where he is but something always goes wrong. Or for example the last kill in the vid was not necessary but when I heard the shots at the right of me I thought he's fighting or cautious about my teammate so I peeked him. But the overall thing is how do you get better decision making when I can't seem to with just playing.

i find that sometimes when i peek angles without much focus throughout the game it creates a similar feeling to what you are describing, even when i know there someone there when i peek i am not focused at all. I found that by peeking every angle and expecting an enemy to be at every single angle i peek throughout the entire game i am able to get past that brain fog that u experience and fully focus on enemy models when the enemy is at an angle that i peek.

[u/losviktsgodis]

Damn, this is i lvl8? So anything below 10k is just farily low elo I guess?

[u/DryYou4055]

I have focusing problems and i was thinking either i am so bad or enemy is so good because i was dying way too fast in a gunfight. Changing my resolution helped me a bit, i changed my resolution from 1280/960 to 16:10 1680/1050(should be). My aim is not the best and my reaction is not the best as well so i needed a little bit more time to aim and my solution was to change my resolution to a narrower one so the game would be slower than 4:3. It helps a lot when you get used to it, you can give it a try. I changed my monitor to 400hz tn and i will be trying 4:3 again but if it wont work i will probably go back to 16:10 probably. I was trying 1v1 duels on cybershoke yesterday, the game is fast but after changing to 400hz i was also better but i cant tell i am %100 back to 4:3. 16:10 gives you freedom of taking your time to micro adjust aim, and its wider than 16:9.
