To amend my previous suggestion, the only part I will agree with the complaints is it being easier to miss more on a long map. The longer a map is the less each miss should hurt the hit objects part of the score. Which would make sense as 4 miss HR score might be considered worse on a short map than the nomod FC but better on a long map. We could change it to some system where each miss is compared against the total number of objects so hitting 99% and missing 1% would give eact same hit objects score every time.

Also I don’t understand how “Accuracy is more important on long maps” regardless of map length it’s 300k Score.

(Basically I am suggesting Taikos score system but with more emphasis on # of misses than Taiko does currently, yes long maps you’ll get more misses on but the length bonus negates them. In fact most of the high PP scores in Taiko are on longer maps. TV size maps only really exist at the lower levels)

I didn't wanted to state my opinion on reddit due how cancerous is that community (and this opinion could never see a daylight).

1. Touchscreens

Main difficulty to play on this device is input lag which is significantly higher than any mouse/tablet (imagine that random 5$ mouse is better at this point). By hardware, this device is not build for rapid movements and tapping at this kind of speed. Unless you are using high-end device (like Surface Pro with dedicated CPU, not ARM/Mini like Atom) this input lag just increase due that CPU needs to handle game calculation and parse touch input (which works a bit differently from CPU code point of view than external pointing device). There is a reason why many old good TS plays are with EZ mode. Having good acc on high OD exceeding 9-10 is a challenge, big one, I don't say it is impossible but for sure it is challenging.
True, but only for now. In the future the input lag will be reduced and the problem will be back. This argument is irrelevant in the big picture. Touchscreen acc won't be as hard to achieve in a few years.
We are talking about present, not the future. I doubt in next few years 1-10ms input lag instead of ~50-100ms like now will be available for customer for decent amount of money which will not be considered waste.

2. Players

Honestly, how many of them are here? 10-20? 100? 1000? Like seriously. They are a non-visible percentage of playerbase, yet enraged community for completely stupid reason wants to separate them from everyone else. Personally I don't care, at all. While literally eating popcorn, consuming energy drink and reading reddit most of this people made me laugh and facepalm a lot with idiocy of "how touchscreen players are bad" / "ban them" / "separate from playerbase". Don't come with ranking and pp because it is already inflated with imbalanced pp made by few mappers which focused on ONLY ONE skill - aim - yet you complain when someone is using a device made specifically to play an aim based map. Pointless, not gonna comment more, there is nothing to say about that. It is just hypocrisy.
I'm glad you don't care about the problem, so you can fuck right off out of this thread and continue not caring. You're ignoring the issue yet again because it's okay right now. The problem will only get worse, what will your argument be then?
If you didn't notice, I have 779 hours in std and it gives me right to actually speak about it. Cut your childish "you can fuck right off" already, it is amusing in this civilized discussion.
Let me explain something:
Yes, I don't see the problem. If I was 4-digit, I would still not see the problem, same comes to 3-digit, 2-digit, 1-digit. I simply don't really care. If right now someone could develop device which would make CTB way easier than it is now and gain massive amount of pp by it - idc either. Mainly because touchscreen is good at ONE type of maps.
Do you see huge scores on stream maps with touchscreen? No!
Do you see any scores on pure tech maps with touchscreen? No!
Do you see huge scores on marathon maps with touchscreen? No!
So where is the problem? That touchscreen is way better at jump maps? Well.... happens, there will be always pros and cons of each playstyle.
Tablet allows you to use Tap+X playstyle which if properly used enable you to achieve extreme speeds which is impossible only for keyboard (or more like barely possible).
And so on....

3. Maps, mapping

I see main problem here. What maps can handle touchscreen? Pure aim based with almost no triples / bursts. What "meta" we have now? Inflate aim pp with 30s maps. I could ask - where is balance of TV size maps which were build with pure difficulty containing aim based patterns, bursts and a little of semi-tech (flow/anti-flow) patterns? It doesn't exist now. How about I ask TS players to achieve same on for example Kuchizuke Diamond Lemur? Nope, sorry - bursts/triples/antiflow will keep them away, despite this is one of heavy overweighted maps. Daidai? Same - nope, lots of triples and burst in middle. Koigokoro? Same - nope. You get it? Before - TV size, mid/full-size maps were balanced around several skillsets and they gave either balanced amount of pp or were developed to be overweighted but in general aimed to force player to be efficient in not only one but at least 2 skills at once.

What it is right now? HaiTai, Cookie Monster (specifically map which made me quit STD), spam of Harumachi (where only one contain "bursts", god bless this one difficulty). Sorry guys but it is YOUR fault for accepting this maps. It is your fault that mappers are not punished for making such maps. YOU are supposed to notice them and veto shit out of them.

Do you think situation like that could happen when you didn't allow mappers to make 30s pure aim, extremely overweighted maps? I doubt it.
Ah yes, the old "it's da maps xd" argument. I'm going to get autism if I have to explain why pp can't be balanced to work for touchscreen and mouse/tablet. I already have given proof that short aim only maps AREN'T the "mete" right now, yet here the argument is again. Provide me some evidence that the meta is what you say it is and then put forward another argument, then I'll actually be inclined to take your points seriously. Stop blaming the 10% of players that rely on tv size jump maps for pp. 90% of players don't do that, stop blaming the players. You're just looking for a scapegoat that isn't touchscreen from what I can see.
Not old "it's just da maps" but actual PARTIAL ISSUE. Over end of 2016 and 2017, there was ranked way more short high star maps than anytime before which created clear opportunity for touchscreen players to shine. If you followed GnR, there is a topic created 2 years ago by _Meep_ which list playable touchscreen maps (ref. t/401384&start=0). There isn't many.
But - as I said, this amount drastically increased over last year (where actually topic is not updated by obvious reason).

You want argument why short maps are meta? Here are numbers. Searching criteria - Length = 60s and lower, Minimum difficulty = 4,5*
2017 - 39 maps (and year is not finished yet)
2016 - 35 maps
2015 - 19 maps
2014 - 10 maps
2013 - 3 maps
2012 and down - not found or single maps.

I will not count maps below 2 min which are considered as TV-size once because numbers will be similar for each year. From other way:
Length = above 180s (3 min, full size), Minimal star difficulty = 4,5*
2017 - 249 maps (year not finished yet)
2016 - 271 maps
2015 - 283 maps
2014 - 141 maps
2013 - 99 maps

Length = between 60 and 180 seconds, minimal diff = 4,5*
2017 - 379 maps (and year is not finished yet)
2016 - 430 maps
2015 - 418 maps
2014 - 270 maps
2013 - 194 maps

As you can see, just in 2016/2017 mappers made over twice as much maps below 60s which in majority are perfect for touchscreen players than in other years together. From other way, tendency to create full size and marathon maps is lowering from 2015. Numbers are taken from osusearch.com so this is only view type statistics (I take into consideration that this portal may not see something / bug / whatever).
Opinion about "short maps are meta now" is still valid considering rising amount of mappers and ranked maps each year. Most new mappers tend to focus on easy patterns (mainly jumps) and short maps.

I don't know from where you took 10/90% ratio. To do "abuse worthy" statistic, you need to start from ceretain point which isn't 11 mil. registered accounts but around 150-100k active players in the ranking. At that point, this ratio looks completely different.

4. Ranking and competition

Short - please don't speak about ranking being competitive when right now whole idea of pp ranking is an "shooter based game with rhythm in background". Ranking was competitive till mid of 2015 where whole idea of forcing aim based maps started, where "one trick ponies" were punished and they were halted at certain point for not knowing how to read complex patterns, how to stream, how to burst, how to jump etc.

TL;DR: Personally, I don't mind touchscreen players, more, I pray for more scores like that to expose flaws of current mapping meta. Maybe players start veto this 30s-1m pure aim based overweighted maps and force mappers to make something "quality". It is not device problem - it is pure mapping problem which comes to - pure human problem. You opened doors for touchscreen players to make this scores. Deal with it.
Ranking IS competitive, if it wasn't then ANYONE could achieve top 100. The fact the it's insanely difficult to rank up is proof alone that ranking is the definition of competitive. Also your argument makes no sense. You say that aim-only players are the issue, and then talk about how it's a tragedy that 1 trick ponies aren't competitive? Where is the logic in that?
Ranking isn't something where places are capped at certain point to achieve them. There will be always top 100. Only amount of points to achieve it will change. What people call a touchscreen problem is not really at the top where I guess only one or two players can compete but in mid-ranking range where more people play it and can abuse actuall mapping to gain way more pp easier, where "easier" doesn't mean that every single one of them will actually achieve top100 that fast as others (ref. valid proof of each player progressing of its own natural speed).

Please read with understanding - I didn't said OTP are not competitive.
Before "big boom" for short maps with simple jump style patterns and non-existant or rare bursts, OTP were punished for not being efficient in all skillsets.
Right now, OTP are in good position to rank up without much problems.
So, competition should be made in correct rules - to achieve high rank before, you had to be efficient in all skillsets.
Right now you just need to have aim, nothing else.
You call that competitive ranking?
Sorry, I disagree.

As I said, touchscreen is not a problem. It is only for people who doesn't realize fact that for example in 2015, this hardware had REALLY low amount of playable maps, there is even topic in GnR with list of playable maps for touchscreen. Whole boom started when mappers started abusing ranking criteria + pp formula and made 30s to 1m super short, pure aim based maps which are perfect for touchscreen. They went crazy with 6* less than 1 min map, like WTF? And now people are crying that touchscreen is broken.

osu! is still a rhythm game, there is great amount of good maps (look at RLC, Pishi, fanzhen, 09kami and more mappers who said "No" to pp mapping and still making amazing full size balanced maps and from semi to full tech maps) which require more than just jumping ability. Problem is in mappers who influence massive amount of pp for one particular skillset and onwards, breaking completely ranking allowing one-trick-ponies to gain way higher rank than they initially deserve.
It's nice to know that you think that only maps YOU like should be ranked. Cry some more. This game is played by hundreds of thousands of people who each like different things. No one cares that YOU don't like those maps, and no one should. I dislike tv size maps myself, but I'm not a selfish prick and I understand that some people do enjoy them. I'm not going to argue that we should punish those people by not allowing their preferred maps to get ranked, all because of a small subset of other players are abuse an overpowered peripheral.

Tag4 maps were unranked because of touchscreen too. They're very different from the genre of map that you're displeased with as possible, yet no one talks about them. Why is that? If you can't tell yet, it's because people are stupid and can't see that the issue isn't "tv size aim maps".
Again, read with understanding, I didn't said anything about "I don't like this". My whole statment is neutral in term of personalization. Please do not accuse me for this here.

Technically touchscreen is OP in Taiko too as you can get insane speeds due to 8 finger inputs while normally you only have 2 for kat and 2 for don. Especially with some bizzare converts that will have a spam of 1/32 monocolors that is normally impossible to play using 2 fingers is possible with 8 fingers rapidly tapping on the screen.

So why isn’t the top play in Taiko from a touch screen?

Simple, input lag from touchscreen and that ACC is most important factor in Taiko.

( but it’s still worth mentioning)

Thank you, Peppy, for considering a way to fix issues with touchscreen.
I hope you find out a fun way to balance it and to maybe prevent the community from being so toxic about it :( .
I enjoy playing touchscreen only because I can't use my other hand to tap the keyboard very well, as I'm not really able to click so much without having a deep-seated pain in my wrist. So I guess I'm odd in the fact that I only play with my one hand, really.
I additionally cannot do "mouse only" or "tablet only" either. I have a tremble in my hands that messes with stuff I do a lot.
I'm still very impressed by freedomdiver's play, because it pushed the limits of touchscreen and really was quite incredible.
But I honestly wish it had never been made.
Because now there's just a small community of players who are generally only proficient at certain maps, difficult jump maps or very fast jump maps or sometimes TAG4 maps, that are being absolutely hated. And a very fair portion of us aren't as well known or as good at playing touchscreen as players such as freedomdiver, or itsamemarioo, or CatBagasm, or Girl.
It might have annoyed some people, for a good while.
Being able to NC/DT the highest difficulty of Cookie-Butter-Choco-Cookie for example is difficult, and is less difficult for the touchscreen player than any other kind of player, for example. Or being able to set a very high score on a Granat map. Additionally, of course, the map that the 900pp play was made on. Haitai Ultimate.
But that's it. Every touchscreen player seems to develop this repertoire of maps that they focus on setting highscores on, and I guess you could say they focus on abusing it for pp.
That's generally because they can't play other maps very well, at least from what I've seen.
I enjoy being able to compete against my friends who play tablet or mouse well, and to see my scores compared to theirs in the same system, and to still have to work hard to surpass them. I can do jumps fairly well, but reading them is difficult. I can barely play through streams, yet I still do. It's absurd whenever a touchscreen player can. I get to be proud when I finally pass a map with streams as well as other stuff in it and manage to beat a friend's score.
I guess I'm not really making much of an argument overall, here.
I'm just asking you to please, don't ruin the way playing as a touchscreen player works. Fix it, change it up, but don't make it so competing with touchscreen only is absolutely absurd or very difficult to do. Don't separate us from the rest of the community based on the abuse of a few maps and playing the same game a different way.
Thank you for this game and what you do for the community of it :D

This is all cry about unfortunately. I agree that separating touchscreen players from playerbase would be complete bullshit.

Only thing what could be done is just create another mod, force rule that touchscreen plays needs to be made with it and lower aim value in pp formula for it.
I think there is not even need to force touchscreen rules, as osu! is C# based, it can simply use

        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern int GetSystemMetrics(int nIndex);

public static bool isTouchEnabled()
{
int MAXTOUCHES_INDEX = 0x95;
int maxTouches = GetSystemMetrics(MAXTOUCHES_INDEX);

return maxTouches > 0;
}

to recognize if device is a touchscreen or not.

All that needs to be done is separate touchscreen from 1:1 input methods in lazer, the pp system does not need to change to accommodate them right away, although in the future, if the demand for a better system is asked for, you can simply devalue jumps and buff streams compared to the mouse/tablet scores because rewarding the more difficult thing is the way to go. This could create some issues though, like tablet players intentionally using the auto-detection via fucking with their hovering a bit during the start or a break to play streamy maps as 'touchscreen players'... No system is perfect though eh.

It's not a big problem right now yeah but it can become one, the question is do you want to wait for it to become one to do something about it? That'd just alienate more people particularly touchscreen players who bought their expensive hardware to play osu! with everyone else and now feel segregated. Needs to be made clear from the start that this is not a fair way to compete with 99% of the people playing so no one gets the wrong idea, right now even the fact that it's right next to mouse/tablet/kb on your profile as an input method can give newer players the wrong idea. Akin to putting trackpap/trackball/joystick on there but for opposite reasons; people might assume they aren't hot garbage options.

Also Jesse's post is worth reading for anyone who skipped it because it's too long, you can trust my totally unbiased opinion on the matter, ignore my name

By reducing the impact of a miss based on map length you introduce another issue. A long map with a difficulty spike at the end will be overweighted. 3 or 4 misses will cause only a small pp reduction (say, 15%). At the spike, you could ignore some of the notes to easily hit half the notes and receive only a small penalty.

Yeah I worded this badly. What I meant to say is that the length of the map doesn't really change the difficulty to get those 300k acc points, while it does change the difficulty to get the 700k combo points.

The technology will eventually come though, maybe not next year but in 5-10 years it'll definitely be there. The fact that it probably won't be affordable for most people just makes the touchscreen problem even worse because only rich people will be able to abuse touchscreen pp.

No one cares how many hours you've played. You said yourself that you don't care, so why are you here caring? I care. You clearly care. It's fine to care. I was more pointing out that it's ridiculous that you would even try to argue your point if you don't care. But if you truly don't care, then I don't understand why you're here? Why does your opinion matter if you don't agree with it enough to actually care about it?

You're basically saying that touchscreen is cheating, but only on aim maps, so it's okay. That's absurd. Let's try a different, but similar argument. Auto clicking macros are cheating, but only in streamy maps, so it's okay. Clicking macros make key inputs none 1:1 but you still have to click accurately which makes them essentially as advantageous as touchscreen, which despite not being 1:1, have to aim properly. Why is one cheating and one isn't?

Tap X is completely different because it's still a 1:1 input method. 1 tap, 1 key press. Even if It's "easier" to spam fast, tapx is irrelevant for this discussion because it is 1:1.

1 of those players clearly abuses short maps. 1 player heavily uses them. At best that's 1/10.

I could keep going, but the trend is the same. Your imaginary problem doesn't exist. Stop making up COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Why do I have to spend my time checking all these players because you've made up an argument that's impossible to refute without wasting time checking? 80%? I'd guess closer to 10%, at which point, is it really abusing? If short maps were SO overrated then why in the world aren't top players relying on them?
How can you argue that short maps are the meta when I went through and checked the top ranks of each player in the top 20 and found the opposite? Not only do you say that my findings are wrong, you also go as far as to say that the opposite is true, yet again without providing any evidence; presumably because none exists. The 10% statistic comes from me looking at the top 20 players and finding that 2 of them seem to play a disproportionate amount of short aim maps.

We can use your own metrics to show the issue too, but I must stress that the amount of short aim maps doesn't demonstrate the current pp meta. There may be more maps, but that doesn't mean people are getting a larger proportion of their pp from said maps. A "short" map is generally a map <90 seconds long. The difficulty of those maps are usually about 4*+, that's around the difficulty of entry level farm maps.

Length <= 60, stars > 4:
2011 - 120
2012 - 155 (29% increase)
2013 -159 (3% increase)
2014 - 250 (57% increase)
2015 - 371 (48% increase)
2016 - 351 (5% decrease)
2017 - 332 (n/a, year isn't finished)

Length > 60, stars > 4:
2011 - 572
2012 - 664 (16% increase)
2013 - 592 (11% decrease)
2014 - 723 (31% increase)
2015 - 1154 (49% increase)
2016 - 1182 (2% increase)
2017 - 1110 (n/a, year isn't finished)

As you can see, the amount of short vs not short maps getting ranked grow at a similar rate. The only years where shorter maps grew faster than longer maps were 2012 and 2014. 2012 happened before ppv2 was even a thing, so we can ignore that. Of the 4 years since pp became a thing, short maps have only increased in number significantly by a larger percent than long maps during 2014. With that in mind, how can you argue that this is an issue stemming from the fact that modern maps are shorter? Modern maps clearly aren't generally shorter. 2014 was 3 (almost 4) years ago, if the problem was due to short pp maps, why has this only just become a major issue? Why have short maps only started impacting the game now? Those are both rhetorical question, there's no logical answer that agrees with your points.

Let me ask another question. What has changed very recently that has thrown the pp system into disarray? Touchscreens. Touchscreens only became a "common" peripheral in the last 2 years, and since then, with only ~2 years of practice, touchscreen players have achieved the highest rated play in the game. If short, aim intense maps were the issue, tablet/mouse players would have already attained a 900pp score on the same map, but they can't because they use a 1:1 input method.

What people call a touchscreen problem is not really at the top where I guess only one or two players can compete but in mid-ranking range where more people play it and can abuse actuall mapping to gain way more pp easier, where "easier" doesn't mean that every single one of them will actually achieve top100 that fast as others (ref. valid proof of each player progressing of its own natural speed).

Please read with understanding - I didn't said OTP are not competitive.
Before "big boom" for short maps with simple jump style patterns and non-existant or rare bursts, OTP were punished for not being efficient in all skillsets.
Right now, OTP are in good position to rank up without much problems.
So, competition should be made in correct rules - to achieve high rank before, you had to be efficient in all skillsets.
Right now you just need to have aim, nothing else.
You call that competitive ranking?
Sorry, I disagree.
The issue isn't at the top... YET. It will be eventually though. 800pp plays were proven trivial for the current top touchscreen player, as shown by him setting multiple 800+ pp scores in a row (on a single map). The reason there aren't as many top100 touchscreen players is because there are far less touchscreen players, plus touchscreen players have had less time to train with their peripherals. Touchscreen players are competing with people who have played osu! for 5+ years with their preferred input device, and they're getting higher pp scores already.

Let's assume you're objectively correct and that it shouldn't be possible to rank up by only being skilled in one area. What's your solution to the issue? Make pp fit around rewarding balanced maps?

Stream maps -> low pp.
Jump maps -> low pp.
Acc maps -> low pp.
Balanced maps -> full pp.

FC ascension to heaven doubletime? Nah, unbalanced score, 200pp for you. FC red like roses DT? Nah, unbalanced score, 200pp for you. FC santa san hdhr? Woah that map has streams and jumps and high od, 400pp for you. Clearly this isn't going to work. What's the other solution to the issue? Unrank and outlaw all maps that don't have 1/4 and are less than 60 seconds, even if the song doesn't contain 1/4 and is < 60 seconds? Ridiculous.

You're using short, aim intensive maps as a scapegoat. People in in the past COULD rank up using only 1 skillset. I was top200 using ONLY stream scores when tp was released. I'll say it one last time, the problem isn't aim, or recent maps. It's touchscreen.

Touchscreen is the original way to play std (Ouendan & EBA) and yet unfair wow I'm shocked

Touchscreen is not a different mode for me, so this does not deserve a different score table by map, imho.
If complains are about how many pp this got, I think that a different way to create ranking boards is necessary. In this order, I supports MariahCarey's (aka, Voli's) suggestion.

I could keep going, but the trend is the same. Your imaginary problem doesn't exist. Stop making up COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Why do I have to spend my time checking all these players because you've made up an argument that's impossible to refute without wasting time checking? 80%? I'd guess closer to 10%, at which point, is it really abusing? If short maps were SO overrated then why in the world aren't top players relying on them?

50. Mlaw22

2/50 = 4% (0.04)

51. Dunii

37/50 = 74% (0.74)

The data got obtained by myself manually, so I might be mistaken in few places by +/- 0.1-0.2 value. I didnt take freedomdiver by obvious reasons, instead I counted #51 - Dunii

So the current average of short DT jumpy map per player's top 50 score in current top 50 players is:

combined multiplier (22.76) / amount of players (50) = 0.4552
or 45,52% of current PP earnings of top 50 players are short jumpy DT maps with 2 and less mins of draintime without DT.

Oh, if we remove these who dont play short DT maps at all

- idke (0)
- Kablaze (0)
- Wilchq (0)
- Rohulk (1 top DT score)
- Yaong (2)
- WWW (2)
- Adamqs (2)
- MrBooM (2)
- Mlaw22 (2)

We gonna get the following: 0.5392 which is 0.54% of PP of top ranked players who plays fasts maps is earned on short jumpy DT maps.


Dont forget, that there are also Nomod / HDHR mods are still available, that means, that, lets say, we got 3 type of players right now

- nomod
- hr (hdhr)
- dt (hddt)

The pure HD and FL players are rare for now, so lets stick with these 3.

So in perfect case scenario, the distribution should be like 33/33/34

instead, we got something around 50% of PP literally earned from abusing one mod on specific kind of maps.

Oh yea, I think I said that there are 80% people who abuses it in top 50 rank?

lets see.. In my opinion, the abuse of DT is when you surpasing that 33% from above, or to be completely fair lets take 40%.

so, from the data earned above, there are 30 players that surpassed these values, which is 60%.

Okay, my bad!

I wonder what would happen if I counted Remote control, Caffeine Driver and other 2:30+ min DT sutff. I truly believe we would get these 80% easily.


However, coming back to our convo, I honestly cant take you seriously anymore, especially after you said

And I'll say it again. If you have a 20 star 20 second map and someone fc's it, you'd have to be braindead to argue that it should be worth less than 900pp; thus 20 second maps CAN give 900pp.
Which is completely stupid, since if you wanna FC 20 sec 20 star map, all you will do is memorizing the muscle movement, which is basically turning the game into some physical memorization challenge, rather than video-game.

Which actually happened in our case, he didnt play the game properly, he abused the flaw of the map with third party device. In this case we should blame both - the map and the TS.

Go ahead and live in your delusional world where Performance Points arent broken and mapping meta is in a normal state.
It's nothing about you personally. If you check, I've actually responded to every single post in the this thread that argues in favor of touchscreen. The reason I pick at everything people say is because anecdotal evidence isn't relevant to discussion. There have been many "meme" phases of pp. We went through the idea that dt is overweighted, accuracy is overweighted, accuracy is underweighted, speed is underweighted, short maps are overweighted, and long maps are overweighted over the last few years. Currently, because freedomdiver happens to have set his score on a short map, people are wanking over short maps being overweighted even though that's irrelevant as longer maps won't solve the issue of touchscreen.

I knew exactly what your post meant however 80% of players in the top 50 do not gain the majority of their pp from short jumpy maps. You've even shown that below.

Why would I not reply when there are things to discuss? I disagree with you, therefore I shall post why.

Performance points aren't broken. Higher ranked players are most of the time better than lower ranked players. That chance of that being subjectively correct increases as the difference between ranks increase. Recognizing which players are better is the sole objective of a ranking system, pp achieves that to quite an effective degree, therefore pp is not broken. I'm not arguing that pp is perfect, I agree that is underweights some times (high speed streams or technical maps), but it's not broken.

Mapping meta is in a "normal state". The ratio of short to long maps is quite close to the same as in years past.

The data got obtained by myself manually, so I might be mistaken in few places by +/- 0.1-0.2 value. I didnt take freedomdiver by obvious reasons, instead I counted #51 - Dunii

So the current average of short DT jumpy map per player's top 50 score in current top 50 players is:

combined multiplier (22.76) / amount of players (50) = 0.4552
or 45,52% of current PP earnings of top 50 players are short jumpy DT maps with 2 and less mins of draintime without DT.
Now this is the kind of stuff I want to see in a debate. I appreciate that you took the time to do this. I apologize for incorrectly labeling emilia and osu player84. My mistake.

I would say that a "short" map would have a drain time of <= 1:30 (after applying DT/HT), so 2 minutes is about correct pre-dt. It appears that we were both grossly wrong with our initial estimates then. At this point it becomes a subjective discussion as to whether 45.52% is an overly significant amount of pp. I agree that that is a high proportion of overall pp, but it is still the minority of pp. The majority of pp is gained on maps of nomod length > 2 minutes. In my own opinion, this shows that short maps can't possibly be exceedingly overrated, otherwise the majority of pp would come from those maps. There's no objective answer available though.

We gonna get the following: 0.5392 which is 0.54% of PP of top ranked players who plays fasts maps is earned on short jumpy DT maps.
I don't really understand how removing the players who don't play short maps helps either of our points.


hi-mei wrote:

Dont forget, that there are also Nomod / HDHR mods are still available, that means, that, lets say, we got 3 type of players right now

- nomod
- hr (hdhr)
- dt (hddt)

The pure HD and FL players are rare for now, so lets stick with these 3.

So in perfect case scenario, the distribution should be like 33/33/34

instead, we got something around 50% of PP literally earned from abusing one mod on specific kind of maps.

Oh yea, I think I said that there are 80% people who abuses it in top 50 rank?

lets see.. In my opinion, the abuse of DT is when you surpasing that 33% from above, or to be completely fair lets take 40%.

so, from the data earned above, there are 30 players that surpassed these values, which is 60%.

Okay, my bad!
I'd like to see the percentage of players who play hr vs nomod vs doubletime before we try to argue that the distribution of pp should be evenly split between those subsets of players. I'd expect that there are more DT players in general. I'll take a look when I get more time.

hi-mei wrote:

I wonder what would happen if I counted Remote control, Caffeine Driver and other 2:30+ min DT sutff. I truly believe we would get these 80% easily.
If you counted maps that aren't short as maps that are short, I'm sure you would too.


hi-mei wrote:

However, coming back to our convo, I honestly cant take you seriously anymore, especially after you said

And I'll say it again. If you have a 20 star 20 second map and someone fc's it, you'd have to be braindead to argue that it should be worth less than 900pp; thus 20 second maps CAN give 900pp.
Which is completely stupid, since if you wanna FC 20 sec 20 star map, all you will do is memorizing the muscle movement, which is basically turning the game into some physical memorization challenge, rather than video-game.

Which actually happened in our case, he didnt play the game properly, he abused the flaw of the map with third party device. In this case we should blame both - the map and the TS.
I'm sorry but I can't take YOU seriously if you think that FCing a 20 star map would be down to... memorization? Wouldn't that make fcing anything memorization...? I'll treat this as irony. You're correct that in freedomdiver's case it was quite significantly a memorization score, but that's because he's using a touchscreen which makes jumps near irrelevant.
Vuelo Eluko
20 stars is unreal, just being able to do the movements such a map would demand deserves the highest reward. Assuming 1:1 inputs, ofc. Like Peppy said, touchscreen essentially multiplies the # of inputs by 10, 1x tablet pen vs 10 fingers... jumps have to get really dumb to be too fast for a touchscreen player and by the time they reach that point they are already 10x faster than a tablet player can do. What's the difficulty of a ~8-8.5 star jump map, which we'll just say is a fair ceiling for what people can fc with tablet atm, made 10x faster? Probably higher than 20 stars. And if it all comes down to memorization rather than reading as you say, we can throw that out the window for both players. Touchscreen is mathematically provable to be easier for jumps, and by no small margin.

Therefore, ban all touchscreen players.

edit: or tablet players can start using 10 pens, to even things out.

thank you peppy for this post. I'm glad to see that everything is under control... :3

in my opinion, technically the 900pp play by freedomdiver is legit and deserving... why?
1st: its legit because touchscreen players are recognized official 'technically' as part of the game since touchscreen can be seen and set in everyone's profile.

old website:

new website:


2nd: its deserving because freedomdiver didn't 'break' any rules for the gameplay... if you have a problem with this.. go check the Rules wiki or FAQ wiki...

so deal with it guys... its not yet the end of the world... lets just hope a new and improved system will come soon... :3

Of course it's legit. The definition of legit circulates around "DOES NOT CHEAT", and I agree touchscreen isn't a cheat. Almost Everything you said is correct. Except you're missing one point: and It's that the play was overweighted. Unless your definition of "overweighted" does not include: FC'ing 3 times in a short amount of time, specifically 860pp, 890pp, and 900pp, Getting A 78% 900pp, and the very fact it was played in a 20 second map. Then I guess it isn't, but to me, I feel like 900pp was not deserved, but the play itself was legit.

I am glad Peppy is taking action on this. Since Touchscreen players are being bashed to hell after what Freedomdiver did. Well, I was bashing them too I guess.

Why does everyone hate on Touchscreen players? Sure they can hit jumps much better, but can you think of how much skill that actually takes, you still have to aim and give thought, if you use both hands then you gotta plan both hands for aim instead of just your right hand.
Plus with touchscreen you can't Stream worth crap.

But my point is: We all play osu and strive to get better, can't we just respect that and not hate on different playstyles?

I think its a long awaited time for a meticulous review of how PP score is calculated.

There is a very tangible difference between 4 min 7* HDHR map fc and 20 seconds HDHRDT haitai FC.

This thing HAS to be addressed at some point, I truly hope that the solution will be finded and we gonna shift from TV-size farming meta to something a bit different.

I am not a math-guru, but I can say that the formula of PP calculation is struggling when it comes to sliders.

Maps with lots of sliders gives less score, doesnt matter if the actual difficulty is higher than the common TV-size anime maps.

So the main thing that comes to my mind is that PP system doesnt care how you hit sliders, how much input sliders are having on the player during the gameplay, how it affects reading and such.

But for temporary solution I can suggest to nerf how much PP is coming from short maps, it is just not ok that 20 second map gives 900 pp. Its just wrong.


I diagree.
While it's true how stamina should be an important factor in skill, it would be biased to say short-hard maps are less difficult. Look at it by the eye of someone that can't pass it, why because he doesn't have the stamina and patience to or because he lacks the skill.
Simply making short maps gain less just serves a certain type of player and doesn't fix the issue.

Why does everyone hate on catch the beat players? Sure they can hit jumps much better, but can you think of how much skill that actually takes, you still have to dash and give thought. if you use both hands then you gotta plan both hands for aim instead of just your right hand. Plus with catch the beat you can't spin worth crap.

Because that's effectively what touchscreen is, a different game mode. It just doesn't fit.

It isn't hating on a playstyle and/or the people using it to claim that it is unbalanced. We shouldn't just leave it that way to protect touchscreen players' feelings or something. While they can't really stream and have limited map choices, they have enough maps to get a significant amount of pp, and in that way among others it's vastly different from using tablet/mouse, meaning it isn't fair to put the two on the same system. I think it takes plenty of practice to get good with it, as with anything, but that doesn't mean it's balanced or that it is equal to tablet/mouse. To sum it up, stating that the playstyle is unbalanced isn't an attack on any players.

it doesnt matter that ts cant stream when it doesnt give that much pp anyway
you see both tablet and mouse require actually moving a object to control the cursor moving to the circle, while also tapping on the keyboard at the same time
touchscreen? fuck that, just fingers tapping on a screen

It does take skill. Referencing freedomdivers 900pp, Doing something like that is still hard, but it's way too easy relative to other playstyles like Tablet and Mouse.

We all strive to get better, to climb ranks, but if there's a certain playstyle that most of us think is "broken", Then we have a problem don't we? People will think they're gaining way more pp than a regular tablet/mouse player, Which would result to flaming, calling Touchscreen an "Easy playstyle". They can't play certain maps unlike the other playstyles, but the main problem is pp itself.

hey guys im thinking, i was gonna open a burrito store but then i found out touchscreen is cheats. so can someone from the touchscreen osu players quit osu and come help with my burrito store .

Then I also deserved the bicycle racing trophy because I participated using a motor bike.

"But they can only play limited number of maps!"
And those maps are jump-dominant maps, which takes like 85% of the whole map pool.

"It's the mappers fault for mapping jump maps!"
It's Riot's fault that you became a degenerate who run down mid whenever he couldn't get his favorite champ.

"Why do you even care that he got 900pp? He is legit, just accept that that is the new pp record!"

How about ppv3 makes it so that instead of being based on accuracy, pp is based on keeping a combo. The pp awarded for a score in ppv3 should be 75% of what it would be in ppv2. The scoring system should be much harsher which means that anything below 300 and the kanji 300 (what ever it is) breaks your combo. Max PP should also be a thing which mean a 20 star map with this new type of FC has a max pp of 1000, 10 stars is max 750 pp, 5 stars is max 300 pp and keep going down like that (from lower stars to the next star from that the pp max increase drastically e.g. 5 stars 300pp max to 10 stars 750pp max but higher stars less of an increase e.g. 10stars 750pp to 20 stars 1000pp). This new scoring system would balance touchscreen and make pp scoring better as keeping up a FC with touchscreen is difficult but jumps are easy and is difficult for tablet/mouse players as FCS are easier for them but jumps are harder.

Yes, the people who simply "good job Peppy" aren't really helping to solve the problem, but neither was Eraser's post at all. One person's shitpost does not in any way make another man's shitpost magically less shitty. Eraser's post was indeed completely irrelevant because it completely ignored the problems and issues that allow a 900pp Haitai touchscreen play to exist (many of which Peppy pointed out himself) and instead simply spouts nonsense meant entirely to fuel the "touchscreen is cheatscreen" circle-jerk.

It can also be interpreted as calming the people in this post arguing about whether the 900pp play was deserved. I worded that terribly, but you should get my point. People are still stating their opinions in this post with the 900pp, so I'd say it's relevant, but completely useless to the forum post itself.
