Is Gold my actual limit? Stuck in the same rank every episode.
I’ve been playing Valorant for a while now, and I’ve noticed a frustrating pattern. Every single episode, I grind my way up to Gold, and then I just... stop. It feels like I’ve hit a glass ceiling that I can't break through. I’m not playing 24/7, but I try to stay consistent. However, once I hit Gold, the matches become a coin flip, and I lose motivation to push for Platinum. Maybe it’s my aim, or maybe it’s my mental, but it feels like Gold is my forever home. I even took a 1-month break recently, hoping to come back with a fresh mind (I’ll link my first clip after the break below), but the result is the same. Does anyone else feel like they have a "natural" rank they just can't surpass without selling their soul to the game? How did you guys break out of Gold? I’d love to hear some advice from people who were stuck in the same spot.
