This will be a quick showcase of graphs showing certain trends in mapping from 2023 (n=2315).
Drain time of maps as a histogram, by far the most popular drain time to map is 82s to 92s (1:22 to 1:32) with 495 diffs
Small peaks at 102s to 112s (1:42 to 1:52) and 222s to 232s (3:42, 3:52)
Noticeably theres no spike after 4:15 or 5:00 despite ranking criteria reducing number of difficulties needed
Also any maps less than 1 min are incredibly unlikely to be ranked
SR of different difficulties as a histogram.
SR distribution has 3 peaks of around the same height (2.43* , 3.43* , 4.93* )
The most popular SR range to map is 4.53* with a significant drop off after 6.5*
Playcount vs SR.
There is a lot of normal maps (>400) compared to the number of players that actually play them.
4* maps are the most popular maps to play
6* maps have slightly higher demand than 2* maps
I must note that there are probably more unique players on normals than insanes because there are many insanes that are actively farmed
Playcounts on normal/easy diffs vs drain time.
Massive spike in 60-90 range due to tv size anime maps
3min normals still quite popular in terms of playcount
About the same distribution as the number of maps at this drain time
Raw data file was created using ossapi to call the osu API and then cleaned to create a .csv. https://smolship.s-ul.eu/CJpzUDLn
