I can't shoot; lost 14 consecutive games in a row
I just lost my 14th ranked game in a row, peaked gold 1 and on the verge of being demoted back to silver 1.
I have a KD of 0.67 and 96 dmg per round. I genuinely just can't shoot. I play deathmatch everyday around 4 to 6 matches before I queue for ranked. I practice not crouch spraying and try to strafe between shots. it doesn't work. For the first few weeks I thought it was just a lack of practice but I genuinely believe theres some kind of disadvantage endowed on me. The enemy just one taps me everytime. Strafing doesnt seem to work; it seems to work against me and makes me move into their crosshair.
I don't think this is some kind of issue with agent mastery or lack of game sense; seeing my ranked teammates play makes me question if I am playing that bad. They rush into the same site stacked with trips or mollies or smokes every round and expect something different. I try to take mid control or at least show presence so that attention is divided but I get one tapped and get told to k*ll myself by my teammates who of course bring up my horrendous KD ( most of time its like 2/8 or 4/16). I try to tell them we need to pressure somewhere else but I get told to k!ll myself again. I just can't take fights and win. I know there's the arguement of "you can still be useful if you can't aim" but it doesnt meant anything when I can't hold down an angle and util by itself isnt going to execute sites or anchor one down. I'm just at a loss for words. Valorant is the game all my friends play and I desperately want to reach their level but no I just can't shoot.
I've searched up hundreds of youtube videos telling me how to practice strafing and shooting but the shortest routines contain 30+ minute sessions and I just can't afford to spend that time everyday with my life going on and whatnot. Also everyone in my tier doesn't do those hour long routines but still end up winning??
Maybe I just do suck but I do need help please
