I've been facing this problem for almost a year. I'm just 15 years old, so it removes out the fatigue from age. I've gotten to a point where I'm at my best, at my prime, where my aim, game sense, and skills are consistent and decent to clutch up games. But now it's gone, my snappy aim became complete dog sh*t, my movement became clunky, and I now kept being caught off guard causing enemies to react first. I don't know why, what or how it happened. It feels like it's just gone. I've been trying to find a way to get it back and still couldn't. I've tilted so many times to the point that I don't wanna game at all anymore. I just wanna get my prime back...

[@Zenrikku77]

I think one of the biggest hurdles in online match making games is to accepting the fact that you might come across a bot, smurf, hacker, etc. players and there's nothing you can do to stop it and to instead of it ruining your whole match experience. Take it with a table spoon of salt and stay positive and try find away to practice amidst the chaos going on. Remember one likes to deal with this but until they can find a way to stop it completely well just have to deal with it for the time being and knowing and accepting it can happen tends to soft the blow a little when you come across it.

Super value with what’s said here. I’ve been trying too get better sniping on blops 4 nuketown. Extremely situational based game, lots of abilities, extremely fast paced. And it’s dead anyways, with only old school veterans on there now. As I continue focus on the “fun stuff”, too see the exponential growth in the shots I hit and clips I manage too pull off, it’s still minimal improvement and I make the same mistakes. But now as I practice map awareness, jump shots, sliding, ducking and weaving behind cover, being aware of my team and objectives which I always considered the “boring” stuff… the skill platue is starting too break. I feel as long as these certain things are practiced and experimented on more.

Gaming is just so oversaturated that newer players can't improve and skill based match making is a joke.
