I don't know anything about that game in particular so what i say may or may not apply.
They say that you need 10.000 hours of practice to master something. Anything. 10.000 hours is roughly 10 years.
I played league of legends and chess for that amount of time and still sucked. The reason i didn't improve is because when they say practice, they mean hard work, which is different than just playing around.
When i wanted to improve i spent more time analying my games, finding mistakes teying to figure out to fix them for the next time. Only when i had no solution i googled wuat othera did in that specific example. Another thing i did was look for chess and LoL guides, video explanations, spent 30-60minus practicing specific skills i lacked. I more about games itself, read ever patch of LoL, general important things about stages of the game, general strategies,... Lastly, i found a communities, played with them, exchanged advice and references, asked for tips,...
I did slowly but consistently get better, however, peronally, it took out all the fun out of the game and i don't have ambitions of becoming a pro player. So i stopped practicing and just continued playing for fun.amd with that, my progress also stopped.
I believe that all pros spent a lot of time practicing hard, and if you want to stay competitive you need to not only beat them in practice, but also find an edge anywhere you can.
I don't know if this reply is useful to you but i wish you find a way to break the plateau and continue growing as a player.

Yep, it's all about deliberate practice. I hear some people at the gym say they'll never be able to look like some top bodybuilders. So they just half-ass their workout and never improve. They may not have won the genetic lottery plus steroids, but they discount the tremendous effort put in to get there.
