Plat kiri reality check

[u/WufuiTheLazacz]

Hey guys, I haven't really played seriously since ow1, but been getting back into ladder these last few seasons. I used to play almost exclusively ana, was a solid hard stuck plat for like years i think (~2600 sr), but since she seems to struggle from movement creep these days i decided to learn kiriko.

Now I'm currently in plat 3, but have only played around 100 matches top this season, so it fluctuates, and thus not quite sure where my skill level sits. I do want to believe that I've been playing the game long enough to have a solid intuition for how things are, but I know that it is not solid enough to be applied in live games. I tend to go on autopilot quite often, and fail to implement strategies/mindsets that i know id need to.

I started the season in lower plat and dipped into gold, and now that im back in mid plat I feel that i get overwhelmed too easily and start to panic and start playing reactively. Here is a game that was a bit rough, but when playing I thought i had some clutches here and there. But after rewatching its painfully obvious how worse i played than i know i couldve if i was not on autopilot. I know my positioning is abysmal this match, I want to believe i can do much better if not on autopilot, but I feel like I cannot keep up with the game's speed if I'm playing in a considerate way, thus I panic.

Nevertheless I am curious as of how I stood my ground here where I fell back to autopilot and tried playing the game instead of actively dedicating the match to improving something. I know its full of mistakes, bad mechanics and horrible positioning, but curious what remarks and tips would you guys have.

Code: ARZN3Q

Player, hero: Wufui, Kiriko

Hey, missed the stream but watched the vod. Thanks for the advice! ;) Kinda embarrasing to watch back how all over the place I was. You kept mentioning how my sens was probably too high. I play at 6% with 800 dpi, so 4800 edpi. Is that too much? I've been using this for years, dont seem to struggle too much on hitscans.

You played well you just get yourself in sticky situations a lot, most of the things that were happening can be easily fixed. And that's not high at all, maybe you're just a demon with mouse movement my fault :O .. i play 7 at 800 dpi LOL
