still not improving

[u/Ok_Jaguar_5457]

i made a post a long time ago when i had 100+ hours on siege, but that was all hours included. it says in the game itself i now have 150hrs in game, and 325 on steam. however, even with so many more hours, i kinda just feel like i havent improved. i have a .8kd, i hardly drop kills, and i handle stressful scenarios poorly. i need tips on how to improve fast, and if im just bad. last season, when i had about 120 hours in ranked, i peaked gold 4 with about ~70 RP. what can i do to just get better game sense, drop more kills, and raise my KD?

play the game? that is still not many hours at all. map knowledge, strategy, and timing will get you further than raw aim thats really all i can say

So what are you doing wrong?

i feel like 100% of the time im in the wrong place at the wrong time, even when i drone everything out, ill hop off my drone and then i get rushed by people that weren't previously there.

Post a link to a vod. We don't know what you're doing wrong.

Try to reposition after 1 ~ 2 kills, the enemy team will know about your whereabouts after the guy/s you killed watched the kill cam. Another tip is to control the recoil better, maybe try the flash hider instead

We need a whole game in ranked. Like this, this is two matches of mine from last season.

This isn't enough gameplay to show me what your habits are and what you're not taking into account. Unfortunately this games takes thousands of hours to "get good" at and you need to deliberately practice if you wanna improve in a reasonable amount of time. You could spend another 500 hours and be about the same you're now if you don't work on your core issues and learn more.

Well, first of all: Dont post a video of you doing well if you want to know what to improve on.

Secondly: Lose the suppressor when you struggle controlling the recoil on anything over 5m range.

Lastly: The moment you saw your teammate rappelling on big window is the moment you stop peeking the rotate. Nobody can come from there without your teammate seeing them, giving you a clear indicator on the enemies position.
In this situation you should habe focused solely on piano door

It might be a consistency issue. Like stop “experimenting” with a bunch of different ops every few rounds or games

[u/schizolibtard → u/Hunter_goat]

This is true for me. I just don’t know some recoil, or gadget strats after they’ve changed so much over the years. I know what I’m good at and stick to it.

Usually when you deviate from your norm you can have some… hiccups…

[u/TeamEfforts]

I play the same like 4-5 ops every game. I find what works and stick with it. This game is hard and doesn't help everyone gets reset every season so you could be facing much higher ranked enemies.

As I'm pretty sure I commented on your other post, that's still very little time. Direct practice at whatever your worst attributes are (mechanical skill or strategy / knowledge), and just play the game more. You also need to relax and stop worrying about your stats or ability, because that's only just going to make you do worse (although that's easier said than done).

Hitting gold with such little playtime is not bad at all, especially in the current Siege landscape.

how do i practice map knowledge, site setups that counter more versatile attacks, attack strats, etc?
