Let me ask you this TR: what leagues have you been in each season? I really am interested in hearing from someone that started in like, bronze league and made their way slowly up to masters.
I started in gold, then made diamond reasonably quickly, then it took me almost a year to get into masters. Most of that year was spent pretty much hovering on the verge of promotion, but never quite making it. If that's not a struggle, then IDK what is.
Now, I'm going to sound a little hypocritical and say the reason it took me so long had almost nothing to do with my macro. That being said, there's a pretty big difference between someone who was idling in plat for 4 seasons and just getting promoted, and someone who was idling in high diamond for about that length of time. High diamond might as well be masters, but maybe you're missing something that's just kicking you in the nuts every time you get close. For me, I would get to playing Masters players, then run into like 10 games of cheese/all-ins in a row and get knocked right back down because I was awful at defending it. I would crush Masters players in a macro game, then lose to the dumbest ****. Karak even asked me once why the **** I wasn't in Masters, and that's pretty much the answer.
Also, on my smurf, I have routinely stomped people at about your stated level doing completely trollish things. I've won games vs people at that level with things like mass queens, a 40+ hydra doom drop in ZvT, mech in TvP, Skytoss in all matchups, etc. You think I could do that if people's mechanics at that level were actually as good as you seem to think yours are? Maybe you're some kind of outlier, but I highly doubt it. And with no proof to the contrary, I'm going to assume that's exactly the level you're at currently.
I also agree with orange. Post some replays so we can try to help. I doubt there's much some GM player you hire as a coach could/would tell you at this point that we wouldn't be able to for free.
