So it's well known for everyone who played mania and taiko that convert map sucks, don't play it.

But how about catch? most thread I've read said that catch convert map is the best in terms of converted maps, but is it good for improving?
I personally think its kind of the same, but sometimes converted maps are better (at least on low diffs, i don't know about something higher than 3*) because most of the time it's AR is more comfortable for me to read.

TLDR: Is catch convert map good for beginners (mid 5 digit) to help them improve? if so any reason is appreciated!

catch converts are really good, for that early stage, (below 4*) I feel like convert and non convert are very similar, so if you have a song you really like in a convert map, you should probably play it, after that, converts get a real diff spike, and where the difference between convert and non convert is really notable, so you might probably not be able to fc them, but yes, after that spike, learning converts is important, they mainly teach reading and precission

TLDR: When you get to 4* converts, learning how to play them does become important, before that, it's not really needed
