So I've been playing Osu for what I think would be considered a fair bit of time, a few years. Started on a mouse, moved to using my drawing tablet, moved to a smaller tablet, reduced play space, etc... but I don't think I can possibly improve any more.
It's a rare thing for me to fc any map that I play in my range (4-6*) but the highest map I've passed was Airman and an unranked Kigamure Mercy map (both 7*). The issue is that unless I'm in the zone I can't do anything with this game. I've been stuck in the range of 5-6*s being passable for over a year now and it's physically hurting me to try and do better. I can't stream consistently or do really hard jumps for long without my hands giving in, as mentioned before I have to be in the zone and have adrenaline going, and sometimes things that I shouldn't miss I do because my pen hand wanders a bit or it goes to a different spot than what I'm expecting.
Whenever I look at advice it's always coming down to "Just play more you'll do fine" but I can't keep playing for years without any form of improvement and just bite through it. I think I've picked up on too many bad habits because slow maps that don't really challenge me are very boring and I end up doing worse on them because of it, so I don't think I can really start over and re-learn how to play the game. I think I've hit my skill ceiling and trying to go past it will just be a waste of time.
Any of you have that same feeling or is there something big I've missed?
