Hi !
While I might be pretty new to osu! and it's community, I have something I wanted to discuss about for a pretty long time.
That is : ''Insane'' difficulties on Mapsets.
As I said, I'm very new, and still have a lot to discover, but that's exactly why i want to talk about this.
Everybody knows that for (almost) every Mapset, there's an ''Insane'' difficulty, and everybody remembers playing them.
I mean, I still do sometimes but I've come to not play ''Insane'' difficulties at all, even skipping them in Multi matches.
Here's my reason : They're not good.
Hold up ! Before flaming me, let me explain.
The reason why I say that is because the maps feel like they don't have any thought or love put into them anymore.
I've played beatmaps from 2010 and 2016 and later and noticed that ''Insane'' difficulties got more and more mundane, stale and
repetitive. They feel like the same beatmap, no matter the song. It features the same hitsounds, the same patterns, the same
awkwardly placed 1/4th sliders and always the same BPM.
I've completely moved away from these difficulties, and focused more on unranked maps that are actually fun, challenging and
well-crafted.
I know, not all ''Insane'' difficulties are bad, but that's the problem. Not all ''Insane'' difficulties are good either.
While mappers put a lot of effort in every Difficulty on their Mapset, and choose their guest diffs wisely,
many other mappers just focus on the Extra and Extreme difficulties, and chose the same guests over and over again. *cough*Monstrata*cough*
I don't want to tell Mappers : ''REEEEEEEEEEE MAEK GUD INSEN DIFF OR KYS'' but I just want them to put a little more effort
on the difficulty every mediocre osu! player likes to play : ''Insane''
I've found myself enjoying harder beatmaps, going from 5 to 9 stars more fun and enjoyable to play, even if I am nowhere close to
FC'ing them.
I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing it for the community, and the players that aren't good enough to play harder difficulties.
I'm not doing this for myself, since I've moved away from these maps and found an alternative.
I'd gladly hear someone else's input on this, your opinion being against me or with me, anything is appreciated.
(Don't bring up shit arguments like "Well gid gud den haha lul xd".)
