@HogynDrwg I'm right there with you man. It took me until this last week to get back to my S14 kdr. Finally there is tangible improvement in the last few seasons, but it always seems to be followed by some backsliding, making reaching the previous benchmark a bit of a struggle. I'm learning to take it in stride, and trust that if I work hard with a positive mindset, I will most likely keep climbing a little. Keep scrabbling bud!
To swing back to the main topic, this season I've somehow managed to do this despite playing almost entirely with group matchmaking, which is a gratifying change.
