HP, a stat that measures how consistently well you must play a beatmap just to pass it, is extremely cruel these days. When a player is introduced to Osu!, the lower SR beatmaps, which tend to have HP<3, don't usually bother them. At least, personally it didn't bother me. However, as the player improves and reaches beatmaps with higher HP, such as 4 or 5, it will become more difficult to pass the maps, but so far everything is fine, it is not impossible at this point.
The real problem, which is the main theme of this thread, is how HP>6 maps feel like you have to play absolutely perfectly just to get to the end of them. And this only gets worse when you start trying to play SR>6 maps, which have long streams and jumps, making it even worse with maps that have HP>7. It looks like Osu! HP system tries to prevent new players from trying to reach new heights due to the high consistency needed.
If HP's goal is to make the beatmap more difficult, it doesn't achieve that. A beatmap that you fail by missing 3 notes is not a difficult beatmap, it does not require you to play well, it is an annoying beatmap, which you will pass only by playing it at least a few dozen times.
This is my protest, I respectfully ask for changes to the HP system, so trying to play higher level beatmaps doesn't seem impossible.
