Why am I suddenly garbage at the game?

I'm currently Plat 1, and this act is by far the worst I have ever performed since I started playing the game back in late 2020. The last act was pretty decent, I had some bad games here and there, but in this act, the number of bad games compared to good ones is mind-blowing.

I used to get a considerable amount of team/match MVPs, even in games I underperformed I managed to get a decent KD ratio and used my utility to help the ones who are owning, but in this act, I'm constantly bottom fragging, getting one tapped immediately after peeking, getting outsmarted and overwhelmed by opposing utility and overall performing like complete trash. I thought my aim was the problem, but I'm constantly hitting high scores in AimLab and Kovaak's, and owning in Apex and Val DM. I almost always play Viper when available, so it's not me just trying out new agents either. I feel like I hit a brick wall, and I really want to enjoy this game and perform like I used to, but I just suck right now, and it's mentally exhausting.

The quality of my lobbies is really bad as well, people constantly arguing over stupid shit, instalock duelists and their huge egos, people raging out of their minds just because of a lost round and griefing the game and making it unplayable for others... The list could go on forever.

I don't know what happened to me and I want to break out of this slump and have fun playing this game. What the fuck should I do? Do you guys have any tips?
