Hello everyone, I have a suggestion for you to take a look at. I think this idea will help players get better at osu! at a much faster rate.
The basic idea is adding 'scales' in the mod section where it goes from 5% - 100% where you can change the level of effectiveness of the mod as according to the percentage.
Simply, the lower on the scale the arrow is, the less the mod works, where the higher up, the closer to the original effects of the mod. Examples:
HT: The lower the arrow is on the scale, the slower the bmap is going, the higher up it is, the faster the song goes. 100% is the original song speed.
DT: The lower the arrow is on the scale, the slower the bmap is going, the higher up it is, the faster the song is going. 0% is original speed and 100% is Double Speed.

This idea can be applied to all mods as well, following the same rule.

The reason I think this should be considered is practice. Some maps may be too fast so you want to practice it by DTing it, but the regular DT may be too fast for you to efficiently practice, this is where the scale comes into play. Now you can change the speed to be a little quicker than the regular speed, going by percentage. Maybe going up by 5% is a good idea and you can keep practicing that bmap, slowly going up the scale, perfecting each percentage until you finally reach 100% and now you can DT the song. It's a simple yet very effective way of getting better at anything.

This should be unranked as it would not be fair for this to be added to your score, so maybe this option could be added to the "Special" mods section

Thank you for reading and I hope this idea sounds useful! It would be great to see this as a feature in osu!

Yes, I am aware this post exists, however the reason I created this is because that is 3 years old and is being forgotten. I just wanted to bring back the idea even though I thought of this concept originally before actually seeing that old post.

It's not being forgotten.
Users who support osu! with money can throw stars at feature requests they want to see.
The linked post already collected 570 stars which is a lot and this thread would need another 5 years to collect as many. There are currently 51 requests that are listed higher than the linked thread if you sort by star priority.

Ugh, I just posted in your thread on the Development subforum to tell you to not make other threads since you had only to wait for a moderator to come in and move it, lol
Anyway... It should be fine anyways, I'll ask someone to delete the other one if they can

@MrSergio

Oh! Oops, I'm not really on the ball with forums or how they work. Sorry about this entire situation lol.

@everyone else
yeah, as said before I have no idea how forums work. I just thought I would give an idea. Thinking I should delete both of these posts just to save people trouble.

I'm sure you will do better next time
Forums are a spooky place.

very sp00ky

You should never look at age when bumping threads here, unless it's in 'completed requests'
