So I've been playing Hard/Hyper maps on the upper end of 3* for a while, and I'm not improving as quickly as I'd like. I've tried playing several maps that are around 4.0* with HT on and they're interesting and engaging enough that I think doing them on the regular could help me improve and get me a bit more pp (I haven't been able to pass many though).
However, I've heard on some youtube videos on osu that playing with mods on at my level would be counterproductive in the long term. Though I don't really think it's the exact same because they were talking about difficulty increase mods, it might be that if I do start playing HT I'd only be able to play AR7-8. Also, I could just be ruining my chances of doing well on those maps with nomod later on.
What do you guys suggest?
