Can't improve

Hey, I just seemed to have a pretty basic problem - I simply cant improve.

Ive been playing pretty consistently for a few months, but I see almost no progress, and I havent gotten a new top play in 2 years. I started playing hddt in 2023 and in 2024 I havent gotten any rank gains, most being like +200 and thats it.

Hidden is not a problem, I can read it well but my aim or my tapping speed has stayed pretty much the same since the start of this year and I just feel stuck because I really want to improve at this game but for some reason I cant.
I used to feel like improve before, but that was when I was like 6 digit and used to play less than I do now.

Are there any tips or anything I could do? I really like playing this game but its so frustrating when I cant fc maps that I wanted to fc 2 years ago.

You're not alone in this case. There are thousands of players who play the game everyday, but they don't gain ranks like before as if they've reached a plateau, which means they play more but can't improve.

It's for moments like this that being consistent at technical maps such a flow aim, finger control, stamina, speed, reading, etc. will really help you for later knowing that and these skills can be learned right from the start of your osu! journey. The main goal here is not to gain ranks at all, but to get better in as many skills as possible, which will expand your "maps that I can FC" area.

Farming is good, but not if it's the only thing you do to gain ranks.

So you've hit a wall after improving that quickly, huh. Those are some good hours for that rank. It's a stop 99.99 and so on % of players will arrive at, sooner or later. I reached it in Feb 2023 once I hit 13k for the first time, and I never got to that point again until 3 months ago after a full year of NFV2 tourney skill grind. June of this year I started playing ridiculous amounts and 5 hour+ sessions to even get a single top 100 score. I've begun to scale the wall, but after 10 days straight of farming im back to where you are. (I literally LOST ranks in the past 10 days even though I was attempting to farm the whole time)

The point of telling you my story is, for some people it requires a tremendous amount of effort to scale these walls. I can see in your recent scores you are retry spamming to attempt these fcs, and your sessions aren't very long. The best course of action in my opinion would be to take a step back from farming for now, and start pushing limits and play every map all the way through. I suggest using osucollector to find maps of skillsets you need to work on at the appropriate difficulty (seems like low-mid 7 stars would be good, but you'd know your capabilities best). Get some longer sessions going while skillcap pushing, and after a while you WILL notice improvement.
