Hello guys, i'm posting right now because i'm having troubles. ( i'm french so sorry for this ridiculous english :d )
Ok so, here is my "story" LUL, i've started to play osu! 9 months ago now and i very very love this game, BUT, i'm feeling SOOOO BAD, like, i'm 14k ranked ( atm ) which is "not bad" but i really feel like i'm just bad at the game, for exemple, the most important problem i have is that i always miss for random reasons, i don't even know why and how i miss a lot of notes, it's just that i am playing and i miss every pettern, i tried to watch my replays, so my misses are mostly due to my aim/reading, but there are also a lot of misses that are so strange, i have the cursor on the note but idk why i click too early or too late, idk if i stress or something like that, because yeah, most of my misses are in jumps, it's very weird and i don't know how to fix it, if it is possible to fix this of course. ( I already tried to play low ar for a while, take a break, trying to don't give a shit about the misses or anything else but it is not really working to be honest )

I can give some exemple to illustrate what i'm talking about : so, like i said i'm 14k ranked and i'm still having a lot of troubles to FC like a 4.5* map. It's like i play the map and i miss for actually no reason, i basically can't combo any map, whatever this map is, and this is very tilting me.
So what i'm asking to you guys is, if someone could help with this, like explain me what the fuck is this thing or i don't know what, just explain me how to fix it, it could be really cool !
Here is my profile if you want: https://osu.ppy.sh/u/3508064 ( maybe you are reading this post one, two, three (?) years after the post and i'm two digits LUL ( who knows ? ) )

Last thing i wanted to say, is that, i have some friends which are very good at the game and i'm always asking them how i could fix this, they always say : " just play more you will improve ... ... " and i also wanted to say that i have 43k play count at the moment which is a lot so, i think that the play time is not the problem here, that's all !

Thanks you guys for reading my "story" and i'm waiting for your answers ! Thanks again.

EDIT : I think i'm just gonna (TRY) to stop play this game, because : 1) i'm bad af 2) it make me soooo nervous, like, i broke my tablet pen 3 times and i'm destroying absolutely everything when i'm playing this game 3) rip osu!

Don't worry about it, I've been as high as 7k and still felt the same things you do. I would randomly freeze up and not hit the key, or miss notes that didn't require me to move my cursor, or randomly miss an entire slider. I missed notes on 4 star songs so often I wondered what was wrong with me.

I feel a lot better about my play now (even though my rank is quite a bit lower) and here's what I did:
1. Stop thinking about rank, comparing yourself to others, what playcount is good, and having to get pp in general
2. Play a huge variety of songs. Pure stream, jump practices, alternating, high BPM, low BPM, high AR, low AR, dubstep, HR, DT, whatever. Don't give up on a map just because you aren't doing well on it.
3. Finish maps even when you screw up

The key idea here is that if you tunnel on pp, you aren't really going to get the range of skills that help you become a flexible and consistent player. This isn't to say that pp and skill are mutually exclusive (they're obviously not), but that playing songs that won't earn you pp is a really valuable experience.

If you keep comparing yourself to others and search outside yourself for gratification you will never find it because there is always someone better than you.

Focus on the journey rather than the goal, enjoy the moment and how it makes you feel to play the game.

Enjoy the song not the pp/difficulty rating.

Yeah your right, but i feel so mad when they can fc this so easy with three times less play time than me
thanks for your answer !!

I'm 8k and I have trouble FCing 4.8*, just stop comparing yourself, I sometimes get shit on by 20k rank players in multi just because they have better aim as I'm more or less an acc player still can't OD10 doe

Try new ways to enjoy standard, try a mod, try different types of map, try quitting the game

If you have a negative thought that is disruptive to your progress then stop thinking about it.

It doesn't matter how high you get, you'll always feel bad.

Shitmisses will always happen

Forget pp, enjoy game. osu! is not a competition, unless you treat it like so.

HA!

well I've not been improving for like almost a year now. Any pp I got was pure farm and/or luck. I will NEVER be able to fc farm nomods. not even the easiest faking ones like no title all diffs.

So yes, I have to break the osu habit somehow! Stop playing! Stop wasting my time. Maybe you too!

if ur ever feeling down just go in #osu and find some random 500k's profile and laugh at his pp

Yeah maybe, but i feel like i'm so fucki*g bad at this game LUL
thanks for answering

i always feel bad when i see that someome in my friend list has SS on a map i can barely pass with C rank

Instead of "feel bad", play more and try to beat that score.
