Is there a reason I place lower each season?

Question

I started season 2 in Gold with around 2400sr. Went into season 3 in silver with around 1900sr. Season 4 in silver with around 1700sr. Now season 5 in silver at 1609sr. In all honesty, watching my stats, I'm getting more and more gold medals as I play. Usually I stick to Lució, D.VA, and Tracer. There are times I'm a little lack luster but there is no doubt that I'm improving from not being able to help my team at all to almost making all the engagements for team fights and etcetera. Not trying to talk highly of myself but there is proof in my overall progress as a player. Is there something I'm not doing right? Is there a reason for landing lower each season? Any advice for someone trying his best for a score that he can't attain? Any input would be appreciated.

Well I know I'm past seasons they adjusted the way people are spread out on the bell curve of players which caused a change in people's sr, they could be doing this a little every season to try and make it more accurate every season

I understand that, and if I belong in silver then so be it. I just don't understand that no matter how much I improve, I still end up getting a lower ranking. Maybe I'm getting worse. (-:

Well you also have to remember the sr system is dynamic to the entire region, basically you have to not only improve but you have to at a rate equal to or faster than your peers. It's probly not that you aren't improving but everyone else might just be faster (and you might have some bad luck to not get people slower)

the system ain't perfect just try and have fun man
