no one ever seems to use EZ mod, and personally I hate it because the highest AR you can get with it is AR5, which is too slow for me. anyone think this should be changed so that EZ mod would be more useful?

Ar 6-8 is really fun to play and so is sub 5.

Plenty of people enjoy EZ, it just takes a while to get into. I WILL GET THERE EVENTUALLY!

It's useful if you want to fc maps like Freedom Dive or Uta.

I get that, but why couldn't EZ mod have been like one or two ARs less instead of halving the AR? I'd much rather play an AR10 map I can't normally FC at AR8 than AR5.

Edit the fucking map then

Because it was added in 2007 or 2008 and not meant for today's style and difficulty of maps.

I know plenty of people who play easy, either for pure fun or read training. Or both, mostly.

But, I don't think you have to be able to read EZ to fc an ar9 map, that's a bit over the top. Editing nomods down to ar8 and fcing them, makes you good enough in reading.

i'm just wondering, do mods never get changed/updated? i feel like if osu has changed so much that it turns a mod into something useless, then maybe the mod should be updated so people would use them more haha. just a thought

HT is still useful imo but it can get boring to play a map for way longer than you normal would

For people who can read high density patterns it can be very useful on some really hard maps. though for most people high AR dibilitates low AR reading ability and generally becomes useless to people who can't read low AR that well.

it's quite possible osu!next will bring some changes to mods though it's probably not likely. I think changing EZ mod to be able to set your own AR CS OD and HP with gradual score reduction for each change would be a better way to make EZ mod actually easy imo. Some people play better at higher AR and CS, so having a user choice in all modifier changes lets the maps be easier for everyone who uses the mod

Therefore it useful

Stop spreading that [reading] buzzword phrase because it's a very generic term. It's not going to mean much to newer players.

Its easier to turn on a mod than editing the map.

In its current state EZ is a niche mod and not really useful. People have been wanting to change it for a long time.

e.g. t/56606?hilit=easy
Rilene
but at least the current EZ is pretty challenging, fun and real easier except notelocks
if you are able to get used to higher density objects though

that would be kinda interesting, but I wonder how each factor would affect the score multiplier, or if there would be a constant multiplier for whatever combination of CS OD HP AR you choose (e.g. 0.50)

completely agree here

in its current state EZ is a fun mod that trains your reading, cursor awareness and acc, it's fine as it is and no need to fix what's not broken
