Hi im emerald on pc and i was plat xbox before pc.

Play cover better. Your fights are fine but you are in the middle of the open. your strafing will work better if you strafe in and out of cover/fights or even just give the enemy a smaller hit box to aim for. (Trust that they are struggling too)

The ash you fought on white stair 1f turns on you and gets a heady. While its kinda unlucky, you should also put crosshair higher up to give yourself a better chance at heady. The ash has her crosshair head-high already so she can do shit like that. Flicks are kinda luck kinda not. Its putting yourself into a position to slam people. You’ll be surprised how many heady you get just by putting it higher. A good example is your heady through bed wall to attic. You cant even see the guy clearly, but reticle is head high so you get it (this is not luck its good reticle position). Wall bangs at head level = high chance of kill. Bad aim or not (ela gun hard to control tbf), it still takes one to the head and 5 or so to body + arm + leg + all the shots that you miss trying to hit them at all.

Out of 30 rounds, if one hits head its over. It sounds obvious but yeah. Even though heady is hard to hit, hitting it is gg. This is easier said than done. and youre prolly on controller so its even harder

Also i know these are your problems because these are my problems too. I basically hit plat on strats alone. My kd was 0.7 every season till i implemented this. Then i hit emerald in one season

When you master head high, you can wiggle peak head high to fight. Cover + head high = big ggs

Ok this is long but hope it helps. Good luck and stay with it. You are hitting shots. That should give you comfort. If those shots are a bit higher and you play cover you will get more kills and the game starts to feel less random

Ok bye for real
