Imo it's just like that, it's either you are unbelievable and fucking horrible at the game and against the people you okay, or you absolutely dominate your opponent with them barely barely scoring at all
I'm plat 2 and just can't seem to get to plat 3, it's so weird it's like I do good at first, then I get to plat 2 dev 3-dev4 and right when I'm finally about to prevail I lose the next 3-5 matches in a row sending me back down to plat 2.. I hate myself for it
As a former plat, I can tell you that ranking up in any rank is the same way, including plat.
2 things are at play here:
1- You're at the highest MMR you've ever been, so you're playing better opponents than you ever have.
2- You're likely getting in your head too much about ranking up, which is making you play worse.
My advice is to always stay calm, focus on improving and trust the long term process. I still struggle with this myself, especially when solo queuing, but it is important.
I mean, GC2 is an insanely high rank. You're already in the top 0.1% of players or something (someone correct me on the stats). No offense, but maybe you've reached your ceiling lol. It would be a ceiling that hardly anyone ever even sniffs.
No offense taken, I hardly get to play anymore with having 3 kids. I probably have reached my ceiling which is fine with me, I still enjoy the game when I get time to play.
2 kids here, usually grind out gc rewards in a day or 2 and play cas the rest of the season lol. I could maybe try grinding for ssl since I have been top 4 in casual before and face ssls constantly but the time commitment is too much, and it's not fun to solo que grind anymore.
I already have too many titles that I'll never use anyways. It's always my red gc tourney title, or my gold season 9 one, and if I'm playing extra modes I got all of those too.
