Someone with lower playcount for their playtime simply retries less times per map, it’s not necessarily a bad thing if yours is higher as long as your consistency hasn’t suffered too much from it. Retry however often allows you to focus the most on fixing your mistakes.

If you have more playtime than someone else, all it means is you had more fun with the game than them.
If you're worried about not improving fast enough, take a look at how slowly I improve lol, it doesn't really matter as long as we have fun... and we still DO constantly improve, even if at snail pace.

I know this is just a negative mindset and all, but it frustrates me how I've wasted so much time in this game and still struggle with 6 and 7* maps. It's almost like I should be ashamed of it.

I know but osu is a mental game after all lol so it's pretty natural on me reacting like this. Well after reading the posts, i now don't think that having that many plays isn't that bad honestly. After all, i play for improvement and for fun aswell than in july-august '23 , almost breaking my fingers for wanting to rank up fast at that time lol. I now use my play count adnt time as a badge of honor for enjoying osu! like upr and sparkypants mentioned, than those pesky farmers ^^ (no offense to them )

I've also been realizing that i was pretty much behaving like a crybaby cuz other people also have high playcounts aswell and me being regrettful on that lmaoo.

Meh your chillin' holmes, its understandable to get upset about it at first, but as long as you continue to keep playing the way you like, that will be good

Aww i see lol. If I just spent more time on practicing (even having that big amount of plays n stuff), i wouldn't be upset in the first place though.

I literally have over 30k plays and I kinda find myself regretting it, because I'm thinking about how people can play this game for only about 6 months and already reach the 5-digit rank with only around 4k plays for example. Meanwhile, I've been playing this game for almost 2 years, having 30k plays, and only being 5-digit a few months ago.

Maybe, but we can't always control how we first react to something, so don't be too hard on yourself about it

You think I got this far with my playstyle caring about having a lot of plays?

(That being said I'm seriously impressed I still don't have any maps over 1K plays.)

I also have 39k plays in ctb and I'm low ranked compared to others but I don't care. I played most of the time for fun listening music. I don't know why you care so much about rankings to start with.

There are people with more talent or experience in rhythm games. You'd have to face your emotions and accept yourself

Anyways, I know it's in part due to my playstyle, but I don't think that's the entire story. It's just a matter of not caring that much about it. If you play long enough, you'll get there at some point.

The only think that matters now is to get the glorious 99.99% overall accuracy

It would be SOO COOOL

Just scorefarm like I do and save your sanity. It's also more fun that way

I have no idea how you can scorefarm and save your sanity at the same time... if your plan is to become a completionist, it will take more than 6000 hours o_o

I don’t plan on becoming a completionist. Just #1 on the global score leaderboard. I play in/above of my difficulty range for the most part for training skill, but I try to play maps I never played for the most part.

Ohhh alright
Good luck then, it still requires an insane amount of time to be the number one... I'm sure you can do it if you really want to!
