I've seen a few people make posts where they ask others how well they are playing and how good their account is compared to their playtime and level. I kind of wanted to do the same to see if I am bad or good for my playtime. I play on and off but recently I have been playing more. I play on mouse with a very small mousepad.

Just a quick reminder that the playtime and pp don't represent how good the person is at all

You can have a low pp and low playtime but it's being better than a player who has high pp and high playtime

Honestly, the people who ask this are also people who like you are between 6-7 digits, most being above 300k rank range, for these instances it doesn't really matter how much play time nor pp you have. Just have fun with it for a while. I would say start to take into account stuff like play time and pp once your in the like 200k-100k area

same advice but you shouldn't use it as a metric of skill/improvement but as fuel in a rap battle/for slander

PP and playtime isn't representative of a player's skill. If you want to see how capable some guy is, you can always play together to see for yourself. Play what you find enjoyable!

In comparison to other people? Not really, like everyone else has said.

Your ranking is usually a more relative representation of your skill, albeit one that will constantly shift back over time; that is, over time the higher ranks will have progressively better plays (what might've been considered godly for a 5-digit a decade ago might be considered rote for a high 300K, for intsance). Even then, it's a decently good way to estimate what sort of tips you should be getting or asking for, imo.

To take you for an example, I'd argue you could probably play low-mid 3* maps and be relatively fine acc-wise at a casual look at just your mid-700K rank, which would be given credence by the amount of 90%+ A/S-rank plays on [Hard] maps in your top plays (crazy jump from 56pp to 99pp from your 1st and 2nd tops, btw). My advice in your example would likely be that you should play mid-3*'s to be slightly out of your comfort (3.5-3.7*), while refining your low-mid 3* plays to be 95%+ acc and preferably at least all S-ranks if not all FCs. 4*'s are viable but not advised, and 5*'s should generally just be played for fun or for lolz.

if they’re better than you assume they’re playing offline (cheating) 👍
