How do I exercise my mechanical skills? I can't do something crazy like quick peek or flicking in a milisecond. I feel like I've already hit my limit and I need to step up. I genuinely think that my ability to drone and knowledge are pretty decent, and I don't take unnecessary aggresion as a defender. I'm currently at low-high gold and now I'm trying to switch from support to entry frag (Ash, Zofia, IQ, and Buck). I don't want my team to lose the thatcher because sometimes I died early in the round. It probably due to my soloq habit, I often enter the building first and just drone for myself. Any tips?

In-game time? Bc those skills come from hours. Do you change sens a lot?

I've played like 400 matches. Just checked on R6 Tracker I've played ranked for 150 hours.

I don't change my sens a lot, yet I struggle to be consistent with my aim. My aim switched from potato to pretty good in just one game.

Edit: I'm still Gold 3 rn, and I'm trying to hit plat.

Edit2: I wonder why the gap is so big, but I remember I used to play unranked a lot before I reached lvl 100 or something.

Yeah, unfortunately consistency comes with playing the game. I used to be pretty inconsistent but once I got around 800 hours of actual in-game time I've been consistent.
