I know you're going to tell me not to use one, but seriously is there any way to just use the peripheral I'm comfortable with in this game or is it just a lost cause for me?

Been playing the game since beta but I took a break in act 1 and early act 2; I felt that I could never get out of platinum until this season. It felt so good to get diamond. If anyone needs any tips to get out of plat, I got you.
