Title basically. I used to be able to consistently get S ranks on 3.4-3.7* maps and now I'm struggling to get S ranks on some 3.1* maps. I feel like I've tried basically everything at this point; changing my skin, changing my scroll speed, playing with SFX on (I usually play with them off), changing my keybinds, changing my hand position, changing the position of my judgement/combo (I have them around the centre of my screen and focus on them when I play), downloading a bunch of new beatmaps, etcetera. I don't play for super long sessions and I make sure not to tense up too much and I don't get hand pain so it definitely isn't RSI.
The only thing I can think of is that because of other games and responsibilities in my life I've not been able to play Osu! quite as much. I used to play for about an hour a day but recently I've only been playing for an hour every 3-4 days out of the week. I get that it's less but I didn't know such a seemingly small adjustment would have such a noticeable impact on my gameplay. I feel like I've gotten a lot worse at reading specifically and now have a hard time keeping up where before I would have been able to.
Am I just in a funk? Should I just persevere and keep playing like normal or are there any tips and tricks to help me get back to where I was faster?
