I actually think this is a good idea
I will quote some things and comment on them

"First of all, we reworded the current spread rule. All difficulties in each game mode have to align in a linear and progressive spread."
Yes, Finally, some sense of progression.
" You can add one Ultra difficulty past an Expert difficulty that does not have to increase linearly in difficulty with the rest of the spread."
Well, that kind of destroys your first point. But, Let's look at AiAe, The difference between Waffles SHD and SC is insane it's not even funny. But, both are good maps, maybe, with this rule, we should have "If it's playable, then we can rank it"

"Secondly, we limited the amount of difficulties of the same level per game mode. Every mapset is limited to one of each difficulty level per game mode.""
Well F*** you this limits us
"While this appears very limiting at the beginning, the hybrid set rules stay intact."
What about mani-
"Don't forget that every keycount in osu!mania is considered as individual game mode, too!"
Oh, okay.

"At last, we altered the requirements for Approval beatmaps. Approval mapsets must have 1 difficulty that is either an Easy, Normal, Hard or Insane."
... This can't be good

"Your mapset must contain an Insane difficulty if an Expert or Ultra difficulty is present."
There goes the one difficulty rule for Marathons. Nice job

"This means that every Approval containing only an Expert or Ultra difficulty must receive a second difficulty. If you do not wish to map more than one difficulty for your Approval sets, we would advise you to keep the single difficulty at Insane level or below."

Ignore my last comment

"The difficulty is not dependent on the star rating. The mapping techniques used within the difficulty and the spread to the surrounding difficulties define the category each difficulty level falls into. Difficulties must be named to reflect that."

Yura Yura Sweet Genocide will now never be ranked. And any uprising Image Material not even near FC'able maps will be f***'ed with a *****

I can agree with rule 1, I'm okay with rule 1. But Rule 2 is not okay. and Rule 3 is even worse! And limits the possibility of a rank even happening. You want the limit of ranked maps to be higher, to make osu more progressive. Then remove rule 2 and 3

Alright...
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????????????????????
I've made a map with 4 easy/insane difficulties and 3 normal/hard/expert difficulties. NOW IT'S UNRANKABLE, AND I HAVE TO DELETE ALL MY WORK?
This is complete bullshit.
If I'm not allowed to make more than one difficulty level per gamemode, then I officially quit osu! mapping.
Fuck this game.

I'm just another player that'll probably have no impact in whether this goes through or not, but this is not the future of osu!
Timorisu
So in the past I've nearly always gotten complaints about my spread not being even enough. Now that I am actually working towards making the difficulty progression as nice and linear as possible, and create an ELEVEN diff spread with EENNHHIIXXX difficulties, you're telling me that the most logical and probably best approach to even difficulty spreads is not allowed anymore? Are you seriously telling me that in order to make this set rankable I have to delete more than HALF OF THE GOD DAMN SET???
This rule is about the worst thing that's happened to the ranking system in a long shot, if it isn't totally the worst thing I've come across yet.

The marathon rule is seriously stupid too. Some songs are just made to have extremely hard difficulties. Mapping anything under a certain treshhold wouldn't do the song justice and quite frankly even worsen the set.

Seriously the WORST decision this game has ever had yet. And I mean it.

I completely agree with these changes!

As a newbie player, I really hate these really good, fun-to-play, creative maps, so I really need a lower difficulty to play :D

On top of that, I play on a really low resolution, so when mappers map a lot of diffs, they make me scroll a lot on my beatmaps and that annoys the fuck out of me :c

Good job, osu! staff, I think the community will love this in time!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

To be honest I feel like if I gave any insightful feedback or a good argument, it would just go ignored anyways.

This was a rule that was made out of the blue and it doesnt seem like anybody at all knew about it before hand considering the amount of QAT's and BN's getting upset over it.

The least he could have done was give a warning or make a discussion post on it whether to make it official or not

All this does is limit the use of different mapping styles even further.

People have been complaining about "pp mapping" and that most of the newer maps are mapped with the same style which uses a lot of repeated back-and-forth jumps and a high OD. It's kind of relevant, because if you look at the insane difficulties in recently ranked songs, you will see that most of them fall into this mapping style.

Then there are maps that have several insanes. Often these GD insanes are mapped in a different style, which gives people of different skill levels the opportunity to enjoy the map. With the new rule, the mapper is essentially forced to delete the GD insanes and rank the map with his "pp mapping" style insane, because that is the difficulty that will get played the most. This leads to most maps having the same style insane.

TLDR: Enjoy playing the same map 100 times with a different song in the background.

Insulting/threatening whoever came up with this is wrong, and the the memes (although dank) are useless, but this shouldn't need any discussion. It's a bad idea. There are no positives to it. In fact, it is the worst and most horrifying thing that might become reality since I realized Donald Trump has a legitimate shot at being president.
Niphora
This could be a big test to see if they actually care about the opinion of their community or not
1 Map per Icon makes absolutely no sense, and the Insane diff in addition to an Extra or Ultra diffs should not count for Marathon Maps.

I think it's a cool change honestly. We're forcing people to do the spread properly, which is absolutely alright in my opinion. We don't need the "fill-in" difficulties. There are usually there when mapper fails to make the spread consistent. On the other hand, I think this will prevent some people from mapping easy difficulties. Like really easy. Meaning, if there is some very fast song, people tend to make somewhat normal-ish easy, so lower difficulty would be sometimes appropriate.

Why exactly do we need more [Easy] and [Normal] diffs? A good difficulty spread is very important, which is why we need more Extras, not the other way around.

You gonna be kidding me right?

If I claim a person's death would be exciting, what would be his response?
jaaakb
This would mean a lot less well made ranked insane/extra diffs. Some more hard/easy diffs. Cleaner look when looking at ranked beatmaps, probably more comparable to commercial rhytm games.

I think it'd be better to add some category that's easier to rank for this kind of spreads (one diff per category), but let people do it how it's been done.

Mappers are not working for you, they do it because they want to. This would probably make them less likely to rank a map.

Please use carrot, not stick.

Also, why is this not news on the front page?

Approval rule: Can agree with this, but it shouldn't be retroactively applied to already submitted maps

Ranking rule: Remember the days when we can't have more than 8 difficulties in a mapset? Now we can't have more than 6. This just seems a huge step backwards to me and pleases no one.
