Right now it seems i'm in the biggest slump EVER of my life. I think its been like a month or two and i've not been able to play at my peak in any game at all. How do I get past this.. i'm starting to rage so easily. I know i'm better than what i'm playing.

Maybe just give the game a rest for a while, you know? play something else then come back

Yep. I agree. When I was playing a lot I didn't think anymore, everything was just automatic and I started to make mistakes. Wasn't looking for cover and was just running towards the enemy like Mr. Rambo.

Take a break from your PC buddy, go surfing with mates or something, some activity that you wont see a pc/tv screen for 1/2 weeks, come back and you will be pwnen again, Beer+Sex helps also.

I play while screaming at my monitor and throwing cups at my wall until I start to play good again, my neighbours are scared of me.

When i slump that low, so do my standards. Out comes the E, RPK and J10 on the carrier.

Week or so of this, and im back on track.

Or if that doesnt work, just get a good mini-team going, sort through xfire, find the best players, and stack a randie server, if that fails.....Un-install

Yup. Funny that your name is bassplayer, I'm also a bass player and found that this same technique helps me through slumps with the bass.

I get them every month or so, only for a few days but it fucking annoys me. I always get them when i've got a big game, . I also find that playing another game makes it worse, so does having a break. The best thing to do is play against highly skilled players, or play with them.
Basically, just play through it.

Are you playing using a shitty desk and/or chair? 

I honestly used to have the worst desk known to man, and if I wasn't sitting just right then I couldn't hit shit (just felt like I was sitting 'wrong' and my arm wasn't comfortable on the desk).  Nowadays I have a huge desk and a comfy chair and that never happens to me any more. 

Desk + Chair = most underrated combo in gaming.

Maybe try taking a break for a week or two. I was recently on vacation for two weeks, when I got back and scrimmed with friends, my formerly cal-m friend who hadn't been playing so well dropped 30. I also managed to un-drop 20 with a teamkill, but considering I had only dropped 20 one time before, was playing pretty well.

There's only one true slump-buster out there man.  Sad but true.  Ask any major sporting professional out there.

I played for 3 weeks with 2 computers set up on an ironing board, balancing on 4 sofa cushions piled up and sitting cross legged.

When this happens to me, I fuck around with other kits, try and piss people off.....Basically anything that isn't what I was trying to do before hand. The thing that does it most is to play with my clan mates....They are all better than me, so if I don't play well, I end up looking shitter than I am actually playing, and this forces me to play well.
