summer is here and i have been full time grinding valorant, i love the game.

and i have been doing pretty good, above average performance for what i usually am,

but yesterday i hurt my arm and i was forcing myself to play the game because i get rusty very easily, i didnt play asmuch as i usually do in a day but i was still doing well,

and btw i am plat 1, and i would say compared to the average plat player i am an amazing op user, i love the gun to death and i preform well with it any time its in my hands,

besides today

my warm up goes like it usually does and im feeling pretty good,

i go into a ranked match and its going fine but i cant op and my game sense is out of wack

i miss every shot with the op even easy ones

i have gone through a "slump" in the past but idk what i did to get over it

so my question is, are slumps real or are they just an excuse for not preforming as well as normal

and if they are real what should i do to get out of one, i dont think taking a break would help get out of a "slump" but maybe it has helped some people idk

im the type of player that forces myself to play better by just playing more
