Why do i have very confident and crispy aim in DM (and other gamemodes / just in general) but can't aim at people in ranked?

My aim becomes very shaky and terrible the second i load into a match.My crosshair placement is very good (coming from 6k hours in cs), but when i see enemies in ranked it's like my hand starts "lagging" and becomes shaky. From smooth and precise tracking and flicking to choppy tracking and constantly over / under aiming and it just makes me whiff a lot.

The reason im confused is because i quite literally never had this in any other game and not even in ranked for the longest time, but my brain kinda just clicked one day and i became terrible

I queued lvl 6-10 faceit in cs and confidently shat on everyone 90% of the time with a solid 2kd average and 25 kills/map average. Same goes to Val ever since ive been playing up until maybe a month ago. now compare that to my last match in Val where i went 10-15 as reyna and i got all my kills in like 4 rounds against plat 3-dia 3s who are pretty much the equivelent of a lvl 5 faceit player in cs.. I literally got shat on like 8 rounds in a row because i missed easy shots.

Valorant is the easier game to aim in compared to cs because of bigger hitboxes and slower movement (especially with the forced native res), but i somehow became significantly worse at it than cs and i don't know why.

I do my warmup routine everytime before hopping into a match (no aimtrainers included because thats cringe).

What do i do?
