Need help to improve on console

Lately I am getting frustated with my performance on console. Lots of games go by with 0 kills, and when I get some its usually 1 or 2 at best. I rarely get above 4 and never managed to go beyond 7. I tried to look up some tips and tried  different settings, but its no use. I think I hit a wall and feel like I cannot improve. I played about 10 hours today in BR but only managed to get like what, maybe 9 kills or so. I have been playing since season 5 but I still feel like a complete bot. My stats are awful. I honestly do not know what to do anymore or where to look at. 

Am I missing something here? What else should I try? Or should I just give it up and move on PC entirely, where things are going much better for me?

    @Cheese9Man I wish I could, but the 20 bomb is not going to happen anytime soon for me. That aside, these ALC settings are good. Maybe I will tweak them a little bit in the future, but for now this is good enough. Today I generally could land between 1 to 4 kills. Still got some 0 kill games, but not as much as before. I hope to keep this up.

    Also, I am thinking about rebinding my reload button. Its annoying when my downed teammates stand around me, and I can't reload my gun because of it. That costed me some games.

  • Ehi guys so I need help again. The progress I made seems to be waning. Like, I cannot track things anymore. I played some Arena matches but they were utterly frustrating. I unload mags upon mags only to land 2 or 3 shots if I am lucky. And God, I wish I could unsee my K/D. The people I downed were the ones who were literally standing still, mostly.

    I had an idea though, and I wanted some opinions. So, I was thinking to buy additional paddles for my controller (or a new controller alltogether) and re-route the movement on the back or somewhere other than the sticks. 10 fingers and 6 of them are doing nothing. As it is now, anytime I try to move, something inside of me dies. It just makes me sick really. So, does anyone here use paddles on their controller? Did you improve or anything? Anyone?

    Also I wrote this on a controller, every letter of it. Couldn't even fill words in because the console is not picking up the english ones at all. Yes I hate myself.

    @AcidicSoda44031Hey there soda. As you’ve seen in my what’s your controller thread, I’ve recently bought paddles for my controller and I’m back to square one. It’s like relearning how to walk again. It’s tough but I know that I’ll eventually get used to.

    Maybe you’re just in a slump? I have days like this where I simply suck at the game for some odd reason. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. And like what the other people have said here, improving goes in waves. There was a time where I was at 0.8 KDR then immediately 1.5 KDR the next season. But expect that to go down again because of my new PS back buttons.

    @Cheese9Man I haven't checked the thread back. But I get it. Like bruh I played maybe 2 hours of BR and only got 5 kills. Maybe I am used to MnK now and I feel the need to use more fingers. I cannot help it. Controller makes me feel caged. It sucks for everything. I am absolutely slaying everything on PC Arenas (for now) but on Xbox its the opposite. I think I will buy an Elite controller. I cannot stand the current one anymore.
