I appreciate the encouragement. I asked 3 BNs and they all rejected it so the impression I got is that it isn't good/interesting enough in its current state. I feel like if I need a ton of mods to get it to a point that's acceptable to BNs then I'm not good enough at mapping yet for ranked. That's also a fair point about mods, I have learned a lot from my previous maps being modded. I just know a lot of modders only want to spend time on maps that are going for ranked so I feel like I'm letting them down when I fail to do it. If you want to mod it that's fine with me but I don't have much hope for ranking it.
I agree the music is definitely less intense here so more breaks makes sense and helps with contrast for the latter part of the song. Deleted the suggested notes.
