If you stop looking at star difficulty, that'd be great!
What's wrong with using the ingame metric to determine map difficulty? It works well for nearly every map in osu.
Just because a select few maps are, keep in mind, subjectively harder, doesn't mean every map is, nor does it mean that star rating should be discarded as an inept system. Others may consider this as hard as the other maps, but this is not a map that I would consider harder than 4.5 stars at most.

I would add that it also doesn't mean anything in terms of how fun the map is to play.
What a surprise, people have different perspectives of fun! Isn't this what started this whole discussion, a conflict of opinions?
You could argue all you want about strategical picks, unique skillsets etc. I'm just calling the map out how I see it, rather than going in-depth about the strategies around it.

So? It's still difficult then, right? What difference does it make where that difficulty comes from?
Are you even reading what you write? You're basically saying "anything goes as long as it's difficult".
No, this isn't osu!s got talent. This is OWC. In x-factor, contestants don't compete with magic tricks, they compete by singing sophisticated songs, and the audience probably don't want to hear contestants singing terrible songs (in this case, maps) either
