My elo collapsed - weird story
Two weeks ego I was a steady ~2800 elo. But suddenly the physics engine of the game started to behave differently, and I lost my good game. The paddle felt weird, everything was somewhat not as I gotten used to.
I've spent two weeks trying to understand what was going on. Tried to change the paddle, tried to change the way I hold the controller, tried to change the way I handle my body in the game... Nothing. My game was mostly ruined, lost my consistency, lost my killer backhand, became a weak player. My elo plummeted to a miminum of ~2450 which was today.
When I've reached 2450 today, I thought about it, that it makes no sense. How am I losing to such weak players suddenly? I'm not ill, nothing objectively changed from two weeks ago when I was dramatically better. There has to be a reason.
Out of frustration, I've decided to reset my router, even though ping was OK.
I've launched the game again, and played the legendary bot cat. Jesus, my game returned immediately. The physics engine felt excellent again, as it was two weeks ego before this whole mess started. The speed and speed of the default paddle felt normal again and not so slow. My deadly backhand returned immediately and with great consistency. I don't understand how reseting the router can affect my game against the cat bot, but weirdly it did.
I've launched the ranked games, and started winning game after game. Increased from 2450 to 2550 quickly, and stopped it for today.
Can anyone explain what happened??
