I had the idea to play through the old maps to develop better reading or more comfortable tapping because of the odd pattern of old maps. (2008, 2009 etc.)
They seem harder then they look so my question is, does it pay off to do that? Also is there a site to check how many ranked maps there was per year to track my own progress? Of course i know that there are plenty of them, but I liked they idea to try to finish all maps of 2008, 2007,2009 and 2010 f.e xd

1.) For checking ranked maps, theres this site. It's on my profile, sure, but you can go to the completion tab of any profile and check the maps by year section to see.

That being said, if you want your own to check, I believe you normally have to do so on a discord server (which I don't know cuz I don't use Discord) or have someone do it for you. Or there's a way to on the site itself, I don't remember.

2.) Honestly, I'd say no? yeah, the patterns are definitely odd compared to today, but I personally am not convinced that it's a transferable skill. If you want to play old maps, you're going to learn how to play old maps, not make playing recent maps easier. It's a one-way street when it comes to the skills you learn/use, IMO, but that's not the same as it never being the case.

Playing those maps definitely helps a lot with developing tapping, fingercontrol and reading.

To keep track of what maps you already played in which year, I suggest you join the osu!alternative discord server... it's pratically built for doing that
