Circle Size has always made no sense to me.
I know it's a "difficulty setting" and not technically a size, but it's always been confusing.

As the number goes up, the actual size of the circle goes down.
It becomes especially confusing when using comparative terms. "Use a bigger cs" vs "use higher cs"

For most people, we've gotten used to it that it doesn't matter anymore, but that doesn't mean we cannot improve and make a quality of life change.

"Circle Smallness"

My suggestion is to rename Circle Size to Circle Smallness.

The intials/acronym still remains as "CS" so it doesn't cause a massive overhaul in terminology, it just makes slightly more sense overall.

more number = more harder
seems fine to me

no one uses high/low to refer to an object size, it clear it refers to a number which prevents any miscommunication (and why few people describe circles with big/small)

High number reflect how hard something should be. I think there is no need to change

circle smallness just sounds terrible

i agree its backwards but circle smallness doesnt sound too good
Dialect
modding a diff be like:

"circle smallness 7.8 doesn't fit and is unrankable (at the moment). change the circle smallness to 6 or something thx"

yea in retrospect circle smallness doesn't really sound good, it just came up in a discussion i had w a friend when we were talking about CS and we tried to make it fit C and S.

it might be anecdotal but i've known a fair share of people still using big circles/small circles to talk about maps

the change isn't really something that major i guess, since most people (including me) are used to how CS is being used rn, and it seems like many people have that same opinion that we're all used to it already, even though it might not be the most intuitive thing
