Former title: "Why is easy mod the least used mod?"
It's come to my attention that even though I'm just decent at the game, people regard me as a pro just because I can play easy mod...
I never understood that for most people. I mean, when we started out and played Easy and Normal maps, those had low AR too, and we learned to read it as we got better... then everyone who can play Insane diffs suddenly forgets how to? I can understand people who drill AR10 and can sightread it eventually losing that ability, but everyone else confuses me... Some patterns make clusterf*cks that are absolutely unreadable with easy, and I'll admit that, but most of the time it's not that bad!
The multiplier is fair (harder than halftime but still heavily reduced) and the pp gain is fair (very little) but some people even think easy mod should give extra points! Heck I know at least 5 people who can read easy mod at least as well as me, some better, and they're better players too, so obviously this inability doesn't apply to everyone... I'm not very good and I get top40 with easy mod on some maps with little effort, so I'm curious to know: why exactly do most refuse to use it?
