You are calling the same thing in two different names
a) fast progress where you go from one level to another and slice through lobbies no matter the level = infinite progress
b) slow progress through practice and beating your previous PRs etc. = it is AGAIN infinite progress
What people don’t realize or accept is that they have to face the severe reality that at one point you will hit the wall and you will NOT get over it. Game wise – you will hit say Diamond 4 and the only way to get to Diamond 3 for you will be hacks because this or that factor be it you or be it others, the game.
That’s the reality yet people just keep ignoring it and keep imagining “progress”.
See e.g. Quake scene – pro players there have been there for DECADES, new faces have come and they lost despite showing some signs of potential, great plays, in the end, they lost to Rapha and those odd wins are there but at the same time, no one disputes Rapha’s status.
For most people that is boring, but the reality is what it is and the only person who can flex is Rapha, rest even if they do win an odd game/tournament vs him shouldn’t.
That comes to my conclusion - unless you come up with some breakthrough change in your game, at some point all the games you play (assuming competition is on the same level) should become those “average games” no one flexes about. If you do have a game where you highly exceed these stats, WHILE doing the same thing you did yesterday or a season before, the variable factor here is matchmaking, lobby skill level which you should not flex about, because you know that the next 10, 100, 1000 games will be again just average.

I take information what “pro” players with the grain of salt. Why? Because we all have heard those advice from various life situations be it:
- go get a good education and you will earn millions (in reality most of the world struggles with student loans and well-paid jobs)
- eat well, get enough protein and sleep and you will become an elite bodybuilder (in reality now all of those people say that steroids did most of the work)
- train for hours in pubs and aim trainers and you will get godlike aim (in reality there are cases where game developers call out pro players and ask them to stop hacking so bluntly, there are cases where people are publicly caught representing well-known organizations again by hacking even in competitions in LAN)
In Apex I hear all of those things and yet I see in streams that the most impact on their game is done by a) set squad b) grinding what comes to ranked b) crazy beaming … I make conclusions and compare what I see (facts) vs what they preach (questionable information/matter of trust). As one Predator in Apex (kudos to him) said to me in Discord – sorry man, I will not let you in on “how I do it”, I don’t need extra competition.

That is all good and dandy but if you are faced with a set squad who just focuses on you, you are dead, no matter your movement or zipping because those players will just stick together and beam you 1v2 or 1v3. All those fancy moves are mostly working on lower ranked people who panic or are disoriented and lose track of teammates, spread apart and give you 1v1 1v1 and 1v1 instead of 1v3. And all “pros” give this tactics as the main and only way to win – isolation. If you don’t, you are dead given competition are not way too weak.
Show me the clip of your highest rank lobby game where you pull it off and we can continue this discussion. I have not won a single 1v3 in the Diamond lobby, I lost most of my 1v1s there to be honest, the situation only improves in this factor when I am in Platinum lobbies when most ex-diamonds are already in Diamond ones.
