Hi I've been playing osu! for about 10 months now and got to rank 51k, but now i feel as if I'm not improving anymore as I am having a hard time ranking up. I've actually begun to lose ranks. Any tips?


Also before anyone says anything about playing for fun I do, its just that I haven't been getting better. I feel like I'm getting worse and its really frustrating.

Play more.
Right above your skill level.

Also take note of the fact that you live in the USA. When I started playing in October 2014, the #10,000 ranked USA player had around 400 PP. Now it's over 1500 PP.

Osu! is getting popular, and fast. Stagnating at a certain rank is natural.

This is one of those times where you should question your self-confidence before your actual skill in any kind of activities in life.

Your progress is fine, unless you're going for the most horizontal rank-time-graph in history, in which case I'll be glad to teach you.

I got stuck at the for 40k-50k rank for a while too. I just pushed through it and finally made some improvements after continuously playing different maps.

Now my current dilemma is being stuck at 30k because of my inability to stream. :lol:

In order to improve, you must buy the osu tablet:

like ours? D:
OT : pp and rank doesn't meant much when you are improving your score (especially accuracy)
as long as you are getting better scores over time, you are improving

There's no such thing as not improving. You are improving but you just didn't notice it because all you look at is your pp and rank. If you want pp, go play some pp maps.
KanoSet
as said alrdy ranks and pp aren't a good measure for your skills
just keep playing and don't over think it

No it's really bad if you don't get at least 5000pp in 10 months

Dunno if it's his full post or not, doesn't matter. Only thing what comes to my mind - you are an extreme idiot, go kill yourself and stop indirectly suggesting people to cheat.

@On topic:

I am getting ~150-200pp per month and most of the time just play whatever i feel is fine and gives me fun. Progression comes while playing more, bigger variety of maps, making constant challenges, playing what is on edge for you but doesn't force bad habits (eg. random button mashing due reading problems). I would recommend you to just play more, a lot more. Stop watching pp bar and [#rank] but focus on improvment.

I am not a prodigy and my progression is slow but what matters is that if you have fun from game and you feel fine with yourself as a player. Osu is in 95% of time single player. Try to get advantage of this and just have fun. If you ask me, +-200pp for me per month is good as far as you see that you can play harder stuff more easiely without forcing bad reactions (random mashing, random movements etc).

@OP: Any improvement is fine, even no improvement at all. I think it would have been a fairly good design choice to hide all pp until one at least gets to 3k or something like that. There are a lot of new people who play the game merely for Skinner Boxes without enjoying themselves anymore. If gaining pp is your sole goal, rethink why you're playing this game or consider to quit. If it actually is improvement or simply having fun, then you're probably good.

Why not stop caring about rank and improvement and learn to enjoy game.

Playing multiplayers and making friends are nice

You have to be pretty stupid to think it's anything in relation to cheating. If you don't at least match my progress of 7 months to 5000pp, it's pretty bad.

Oh, that explains it. All is forgiven to OP.

Hey mod, remind me why "kill yourself" isn't inappropriate conduct.

I assumed that he was being sarcastic but now that you mention it telling someone to kill themselves is inappropriate however you spin it.

It's okay if you use a mouse. We understand but do not support your decision.

Just remember every time you casually label someone a multi/cheater that rafis had 6k pp in 8 months back before a lot of the really farmy maps had been ranked and 8k pp in 12 months. It's even easier to do this now.

If you want to see fast improvement just play 3-5 hours EVERY SINGLE DAY otherwise don't expect shit. Play stuff that will challenge you to fc but isn't unrealistic and don't play the same map more than 5 times a day.
