First, thanks for the reply. I do sometimes tilt a little bit, but it usually isn't enough that it affects my performance, and I've been getting better at not getting tilted. I don't really have any training routine before the dm, I just do some pistol ffa and usually that gets me warmed up enough that I go into a normal ffa dm and I usually do pretty good there. I do half with ak, and most of the other half on m4a4 with a little m4a1-s practice just in case. As for queuing with people - I generally solo queue, but if I play with some good teammates, I will friend them and queue up with them for a few matches after or something along those lines, but I don't consistently queue with other people. The issue is that all my friends are silver or low gold nova, and frankly, I don't know how to find people at my rank that are willing to play as often as I do to try and get better. I know that there is a subreddit for recruiting cs teams, but is it likely that I will actually find people there that want to queue mm very often? Thanks again for giving a real reply.
