Title is self-explanatory, I believe the current suggested guidelines in the current ranking criteria lean a little too low for the easiest difficulties and more clarification can be added for every difficulty.
For example, in a Kantan, the current HP guideline is as follows:
and my suggestion is to adjust it to the following:
This proposal aims to adjust the guideline to what most recent ranked maps are using today, I believe in the case for most beatmaps, this evens out to around +2 to the current guidelines, although a case can also be made for +1.
In a separate but similar proposal, another note could be added for maps of low note counts, similar to the one we already have for beatmaps with higher note counts.
This could be achieved like so:
I want to avoid using wording like "higher or lower note counts" as it can be confusing where the HP adjustments apply. Of course, this would apply to all difficulties, not just Kantan and Futsuu.
For example, in a Kantan, the current HP guideline is as follows:
HP Drain Rate should be 6 or more. In cases of higher note count, HP Drain Rate could be slightly adjusted to lower than 6.
and my suggestion is to adjust it to the following:
HP Drain Rate should be 8 or more. In cases of higher note count, HP Drain Rate could be slightly adjusted to lower than 8.
