Are you sure there are no level modifiers?

This is my third season, and I still am yet to have any games with as much success as I had last season, even though I have won more games this season. I have noticed I'll have a string of like seve...

    That is a great reply. You are not barking up the wrong tree, you are doing better because you are playing smarter.

    Here is something to think about, for the very competitive minded: if you place second all that is is first loser. "There can only be One" 

    Yeah those great games where you get like 8-10 kills and place top 5 or better are rare and the thing that counts is consistency. 

    I am also not getting those high kill count games as often as before but I have a top 5 placement percentage of about 42%, My win rate is great, I more than doubled the wins I had last season and I have more kills then I have ever had. 

    The numbers do not lie however the feel, pace and adrenaline of the game my be a bit different because gamers evolve and want to win.

    There is a somewhat correlation between wins and kills for most casual gamers: if you are winning more your high kill games go down (your avg may go up), if you are having high kill games your top 5/wins % goes down. 

    Basically either play smarter to win, or you push until the gas runs out.

@Asmodeus566 What Asmodeus566 says here is something to think about. What is success? I may "feel" like I'm not playing better and I am making fewer kills, but number do not lie. My kdr is higher, my win rate percentage is much higher, damage is higher than the previous two seasons combined, and I have won more games this season than last season. The only thing lower is the amount of kills that I do per match, instead of killing 7 or 8 players per match it is now more like 1 or 2 with some knocks and assists.

So, does this just mean I'm now playing smarter rather than just running around making kills? After all, the object to the game is to win and not necessarily to make kills. I mean, could I be barking up the wrong tree here and really I'm doing how I should be doing since the numbers show that I am, and could this mean that my frustration is more from facing higher skilled players with more wins than it is not making enough kills?

It's weird because I don't "feel" like I'm playing as good even though the numbers say that I am. I guess having that 3 week streak toward the end of last season ruined me because now I always expect to play like that, and when I don't it feels like something is wrong.
