Crouching in lower elo (high silver/low gold)

I find myself crouching whenever I get into a gunfight, and this generally gets me headshot because people aim for the body. I’ve tried unbinding my CTRL key multiple times, and this does result in me not getting instakilled 50% of the time, but then my gun game gets messed up, and sometimes I find myself moving while shooting. (just to clarify, I tend to crouch immediately when I enter a gun fight, it’s sort of an instinct at this point). I’ve tried heavily to improve my crosshair placement for headshots but I’m getting mostly body kills most of the time and I feel like crouching is messing up my aim actually.

I feel like this is a huge reason why I’m stuck in this elo, even when I have decent game sense and have good comms. Anyone have any suggestions for how to combat this? I’ve been playing since Act 2 and am currently Gold 1, but am on a bit of a losing streak. Is there some sort of exercise that can help with this?
