current state of the game

idk if it's just me but the current set seems to be a lot harder than previous ones? i used to consistently hit diamond 2/3 by this late into the set and now im stuck in gold. i also feel like there is not the same space for flexibility now but maybe that's just me and im just way worse at this game. i wanna hear your thoughts

edit: my account is jinssoul (LAS) if anyone wanted to check
