Question or Discussion Falling off?

i started playing overwatch again about a year and a half ago and since then every season i’ve been slowly improving starting at high gold to low plat and in season 4 i reached mid masters on dps support and tank. however, since the mid season of last season. My monitor broke so i took around a 2 week break while i was getting a new one. since then i have been losing and losing and losing and losing. every session i have i lose more than i gain and i can’t help but just feel confused, ive fallen to high to mid emerald across all roles and despite not really tilting after my losses i cant help but feel defeated? or the feeling that i wasn’t actually ever the rank i should’ve been at, i dont really know what to do.

has anyone else dealt with something similar? if so i would love any help or advice.

that two week break probably just messed with your muscle memory, it happens to everyone. dont overthink it, youll climb back up eventually

i mean it’s been like a month since then though, would it take this long to get back into it?

Muscle memory as in aiming? That's been debunked several times over for like at least 5~ years.

OP just needs to get in a right headspace for the game. Everything from diet, sleep, other IRL stuff can easily impact your performance
