I seem to have hit the ceiling :/
Posts: 15
I have been working my way up to the higher ranks and I try to play a balance of all factions but I seem to have hit a road block in my play. I don't seem to be improving anymore and I am really struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. I watch replays, study matches on youtude, and use control groups but it feels like my play is not getting any better. Does anyone have any slump busting advice or unique ways to practice and approach the game?
Thank you.

Otherwise you just have to win all of yo matches till your w/l ratio is balanced around %65-%70.
Imagine someone having 500 losses and 500 wins. Yes a hard road that can be cut short by buying the game again (on sale now) and start playing more competitively.

Some times you have to start anew, if you merely want to get an idea of your actual skill level, which is directly linked to you win/loss ratio.

I think he meant his elo. It is not about your win/loss ratio, it is rather about your rank and your position in ladder, whitch improve the same even if you played 100 or 1000 games. Soon even if you get smurf account, you will end up at same rank because of your skill not number of games played.

That's awful advice, how would that help at all? Beating up on noobs with a smurf account wont help you improve.
Switch it up a bit, try some new commanders and strats. Take a break from the game if you want, it's not worth getting burned out on the game. You're just going to need practice to get better at this point. You can't really shortcut it.

You don't choose your opponents, you should know that by now.

But that isn't going to help one to improve himself either, that is right.

You actually can choose your opponent in automatch, its called sniping.
Also, if you want to play against noobs, just surrender in every second won match. The matchmaker will decrease your elo and you will stay in a sweet spot where you can beat anybody.

Any feeling about why that might be?

I'm intrigued by the disparity in your levels across factions. Like, you have level 12 with Soviets but only level 7 with OH, even though you have about the same number of games with both...
Any feeling about why that might be?
Each faction plays differently. For example if you want to improve with soviets you have to learn about commader choices and flanking (multitasking more squads)and if you want to improve with ostheer you have to learn how to counterbuild, how to positions your army as whole (that means your army should work like 1 complex) and munny management.
With okw you need to learn how to properly place trucks, work on tank surivability and munny mangement
With USA you have to learn a lot about mobile agression and finding holes in enemy build order
With Brits you have to learn how to properly place emplacements, counterbuilding him with good commader choice and commading army as whole.
Other things like better micro, squad preservation, mine placement, AT gun positioning, harrasing and backcaping will increase your overall score.
I mentioned only few things I found most important in every faction.
Hope I help you.

I seem to have a better grasp of the allied play style for some reason. I will look in to the mentor program thanks to all for your advice.
