I have a problem when it comes to reading certain maps that should'nt be that difficult for me, I'm having these issues for a long time now and no matter how long I practice\retry these certain maps I can't get them right, the problem about it is that I was once able to pass alot of these parts but after a while not playing them I cant read nothing about them.

I have tried practicing on maps that help u with jumps like this one: https://osu.ppy.sh/b/257870

When I try doing the 180 bpm with jumps on HT I get this score: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1048807

But when I try doing the 180 bpm map on HR,HT I get this score: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1048809

I don't know why but I just cant read right these kind of jumps, the only thing I thought was my issue is the stacking of notes on the map or a slow AR but it cant be that since its AR is high enough, its not aiming either since I can aim pretty good on HR.

I would like to know what is my problem with reading and hope that you experts would help me find out and tell me what to do with it!
Thanks!

Don't play those practiceshitmaps unless you're really good at them or they'll only make you worse and more frustrated. Your issue here is nothing but low AR, play it more.

I'm guessing Aqo suggested you to play those maps.

While they actually DO help to improve, they are highly frustrating and for instance (always for some) extremely boring to play. Try to take this a little more casual and have fun, if all you want is to be good then all you need is to keep retrying, but honestly I think you are gonna drop the game if you keep doing that.

Low AR usually means 8 (for players who can actually play very high ARs, when you are used to high ARs lower ARs become harder, for people who can't play high ARs low ARs are just fine), there are no many maps using lower ARs than that which actually mean anything (the one you may find are really old so it doesn't matter). If you are having trouble on them you shouldn't care much about it for now, just play common maps and try to raise the difficulty more and more till the points insanes are not really that hard. That's challenging (and fun) enough if you ask me.

I've said the exact same things about this map since it is rly boring but I'm just doing this map to check if I have gotten better once in a week and see if my miss rate gotten lower or not. Still I enjoy the game for 5 months now and donated to osu a few days ago because I start enjoying it even more now and playing it alot more now so I dont think I will drop the game

.

I guess you are right about it, thanks for you help everyone I will just keep on playing for fun playing and improve by playing randoms!

Had the same problem, 9-11 AR was fine for me but anything else was torture and couldn't really read it properly.. atleast, it's starting getting better and I'm learning to read low ar a little better just try to not limit yourself to high ar and mix in a little AR8(or w/e low ar you're talking about).

Search this in your beatmap list BPM<=160 AR<=8 OD>=7 and play what comes up, even try hidden. Even if it's too slow play it and listen closely as to how the notes work.

if u rly want it to help, do it for about an hour every day (this is what I was told be the guy that recommeded it to me) and I have seen a couple of friends praciticng this map over 3 hours..
and it does show alot of improvement, if u will play for 1 hour for 1 week u should see a big difference in your reading according to my friend's improvement the past few weeks.
