3 year break - did I really became that much worse?

Hi @all,

last time I played hots was Season 1, 2022. Back then I was ranked Dia 3 (159 Games, 79 Win) which I climbed up after initially being Gold after my initial rank when I started hots in 2016, so while I’m pretty sure I will never be one of the best I was fine with being able to improve.
I came back ~2 weeks ago and got ranked Bronze 1. After starting with a ~85% winrate climbing up to silver 1, I suddenly feel stuck. My overall winrate dropped to 58% and out of the last 24 games I won 10.
After such a long break I didn’t expect to be still at the same level as I was before, I would just like to have an opinion from other players if the way I play currently really is Silver 1/2 and what I can improve to be able to climb again.

Here are the replays of the last 2 games I played (KT in the first, Dehaka in the 2nd):

Really would appreciate some opinions from you.

Thanks

There is a reason its called Bronze/Silver hell its full of trolls and people who dont wanna use QM to learn how to play their heroes and so uses Ranked to practice, only real way to try and avoid these type of players is to get a 5 man party with people you trust and knows can play.
