Indeed! Notelock/noteblock or whatever the name is, is definitely a problem to the gameplay. The proof of that is when we had no notelock on osu!lazer because of a glitch and then everyone (even me) heard from someone "Hey, osu!lazer is amazing now, something happened and we don't have notelock anymore"... Basically the game was better with the glitch lol.
Another thing that annoy me a lot is the slider-break mechanic. Ok, it is basically a miss, but at the same time slider-breaking is even more annoying, it's hard to explain but it is something like "I didn't even miss, just a slider-break, cmon game". Can we simply get a MISS or a 50 or even a 100 instead?! The way sliders work is very confusing, sometimes you didn't even know how did you hit the note, "What? I hit that? OK.." or "How did I not hit that?????" I am pretty sure both of these situations happens often to everyone.
And I don't know if that matters here, but ScoreV2 is a joke. 99% or even a bit lower like 97% will cease to exist unless you are a 3 digit... Again, the problem are sliders, now even harder to hit the 300 and still with slider-breaks. I dedicate myself A LOT to get high acc on every map that I play, it's not easy but it pays off. At this point you probably understand that acc matters a lot for me, and yes, almost even more than PP. If I FC a song with 97% acc I simply quit the beatmap.
That should be it for the critiques, I am very satisfied with the current game state
Also I am very grateful with the comfirmation that we need now to the Preview Gameplay buttom, that was annoying af..
