It ' s hard to go higher tho when you ' re basically outplayed over and over even if you outsmart your opponents . How is this consistent ? I also got to D 5 and thought as you did . You know what got me consistently to D 2 ? Admitting I was wrong , and improving my mechanical skills . Nothing else . Just mechanical practice and application . I know how the game works , I have great map awareness and I ' m patient . This is precisely my point . You may have these things , but your teammates don ' t , so your skills are wasted . If instead you are out there killing people and making plays because you ' re mechanically better , your team will win anyway . <| sep |> Oh , im sorry . I still like your username . It makes me think of a sculpture .
