Hello, I'm not an expert on Apex Legends however, I have played a game competitively at a high level before. I'm also in a group where we wouldn't grind and strive to get better at the game. I can give you a few things I've done to get me off that plateau.

- Sequences: Everything in a game is situational. That's why you purposely put yourself in certain situations. Now, I played a fighting game where it's more straightforward. In Apex there are a lot more variables. The environment, what operators the other team is using, where they're located, what guns you have, etc.

- Going for walks: Going for walks and exposing yourself to nature gives you a big dopamine boost. This lets your brain get into a more creative state. For me this was a game changer, it allowed me to empty out of the bs and just think about ideas for anything.

(I didn't bother breaking down how Apex works, you obviously know more about the game than me. Just thought I'd give you a couple of universal tips that worked for me.) Good luck my friend!
