Today I'm here to talk about a concern between all mappers in modders on maps, mapsets, and ranking.
Many people dislike the current easies that are just "#/1" "spam" or filler diffs. Or diffs that are
just made to be insane through streams, jumps, and overmapping. Well all I have to say to that is.
You're the mapper.
You're the modder.
We mappers and modders everyday complain about the system and how maps are mapped, but when you think
about it. Why are we the ones complaining? We're the ones who mapped those things. we're the ones who
started those trends. If you want it to change map it how you want. Don't automatically think:
"no one will like it if I map it this way". You map for yourself to enjoy a song. So map for yourself
to enjoy the map you created. Then share and guess what, someones going to like it. Someones going
to want to help. Someones going to try.
So if you're a mapper and really want change in the maps of today, why not change what you're mapping
right now? This isn't middle school. Stop trying to fit in. Map your easy with the beats you feel
should be respected min the song. Don't let people tell you an easy is all just "#/1" and also a
second note on that. Stop thinking the easy mode is a filler diff. Many newbies have to play easys to get
situated. We all played one atleast. Feel like you're doing a newbie a favor. Map the easy as if this
is going to be the first map a newbie plays. You never know. If you don't want an easy diff? Fine.
Make the set how you feel it should be and continue to do that. Stop mapping with the thought of:
"this ineeds to get ranked so i should map it like this." You tell the modders to stop structuring their
brain where only ONE way is correct and everything else is wrong.
You're a modder right and you're checking someones beatmap. It looks rankable, but can't you add onto it?
Help then fully improve it, not with just slight adjustments of circles and spacing, but with making
something you would really like to see in your eyes. Stop forcing yourself to belive this is how maps
should be. Go tell that person to be original. Try new things. Not try to make the same thing as everyone
else. They want to try new things but they feel like you won't let them. Help them out instead of instantly
saying it's good when it's able to be ranked. So later their next maps will be even more fun, even more
interesting, even more original.
Insanes don't need to be this.
Hards don't need to be this.
Normals don't need to be this.
Easies don't need to be this.
All a map has to be is this: The Mapper
All a mod has to be is this: The Modder
Everything you believe matters, so don't follow what others tell you to, that's not what you call a real modder.
That's not what you call a real mapper. The real mapper, works hard to make their map how they want it.
Interesting and unique to them. A real modder helps that mapper, and guides them to make it even more
interesting and unique to them.
Even though, we need certain rules and we don't rank spam or randomness that doesn't mean we need to block off
differences and creativity. So please, do what you want. If someone doesn't like it, atleast you do.

And a heads up. This doesn't mean no hard insanes. This is about mapping and following what others say in general. Thanks.
