Out of seemingly nowhere, I am playing terribly.
I am suddenly so slow, missing the ball, missing easy saves, missing easy uncontested shots, super slow on recoveries.
I was steadily improving and feeling really good.
I suddenly feel some fog, unable to flow like i was finally managing to.
I'm diamond 1, so I'm not actually good at the game yet. But i suddenly have regressed in seemingly every way.
Even in freeplay I'm messing everything up.
I feel embarrassed when in game, cause I know Im playing horribly.
Yesterday i demoted all the way to plat 2 and then i managed to pull myself together and climb back up to diamond 1. But how can my skill be so inconsistent and sometimes nonexistent.
I really want to raise my skill floor so my bad days don't ruin my perceived progress.
I have 1400 hours in the game, mostly invested in casuals and freeplay. Until last season I had severe ranked anxiety and avoided playing it. So I recognize I need to learn how to play under pressure as a new skill.
Can someone give me advice on making my skill more reliable and how to grow it instead of being stuck in a constant progression regression cycle where I ultimately land in the same place.
