As a diehard smokes main, am I just full on boosted?

To preface whatever is written below, I would like to say I have tried other character types and none really call to me, besides sova and fade sometimes. Overall, I never stray away from smokes, specifically viper and brim. (IM GOLD BTW)

I always tend to choose viper and brim because

  1. I’m a lineup nut, and use it whenever I can (as long as we have a good site hold, and other factors)

  2. My aim is not good enough to really justify playing a duelist, even though I end up entering site first because my entire team baits or dies trying

  3. I really try/have a good mental all the time, and that’s saying something because I mostly end up spraying people for kills and then I get flamed by the bot frag Reyna

  4. I rely on setups, because as I said, my aim isn’t great, so one ways and dumb smokes and sentinel setups are the most advantageous ways to setup a fight (I also get most of my kills this way)

Overall, I don’t really bottom frag. I usually end up middle to higher end of the leaderboards, and on a good day, a couple of team/match mvps. The reason I ask this question specifically even though I get kills, is because setups only get you so far, and I can say the same for getting frags. I generally have good gamesense, but I constantly whiff and require a dumb wall bang or setup to get kills. Should I play more unrateds to get better, or should I continue to do what I do? Thanks in advance
