Outlined the plays in which I was using blues, might be a mental thing but it seemed to make a massive difference for me?
Assuming you missed EVERY stream, the maximum accuracy you can get is 61.4%
To boost this accuracy to 70, you would need 157 100's; this isn't hard because there are 235 total circles that are included in the streams, and this doesn't even count getting the first note or the first few notes a 300, which would decrease the number of 100s needed even more.
Now theoretically if you under-streamed due to the switches "affecting" your stream speed/skill, say instead of the 220bpm you streamed with reds you streamed 180bpm with blues, you would hit on average 82% of the notes with 300s; this however is not the case because osu! won't register clicks for the notes that you wanted to hit until the note previously has either disappeared fully or hit.
I'm not sure where to find the exact OD values, but for you to hit 220 bpm, you need to register a keystroke every 68.2ms, and for 180bpm, you need to register a keystroke every 83.33ms, and the average stream length of the map is around 25, expecting to miss at least 40 notes.
Now say that at least 30 of these were 300s, (would be more in an actual play, because the first few notes of a stream will always be easier due to bursting) then you would only need 67 more 100s, out of 165 notes.
This of course assumes that you 100% everything non stream, though the same point would be proven even if you got something say 95%.
Therefore I conclude that you are riding red switches so hard that you began to tell yourself and act as if any other switches worsens your play dramatically, or you weren't under the same circumstances and got lucky.
I honestly doubt that any type of switches could dramatically change your stream skills by that much. Maybe a 10% difference, but a 25%? The map only has a moderate amount of streams.
You're obviously putting them in different scenarios.
I believe it had something to do with CM using some higher-quality company to build the switches or the base or something, but I don't know (someone should be able to provide better info though).
