Can we focus on creating and ranking good maps again instead of big numbers or personal profiling - I feel like this gamemode has been broken 10 times worse compared to osu!standard or taiko, and somehow nobody is complaining about it because 10* maps in 7 key exist which is entirely unrelated.
Stuff like Abraxos' Possession that is silly, may not sit well with some players but is actually a memorable/unique map plus good representation of the song.

I'm also tired of hearing the "it's my mapping style, I don't map things this way because of pp and XY is subjective!" argument, you know exactly what you're doing, all I'm going to say is you can and should do better. I wish people would have the integrity to say no, we're not going to rank this if you insist on pulling that move.

The way I think about this is a 40-30-30 split: only 40% is the infamous "play more", 30% is deciding correctly on which maps you'll play in a session, another 30% includes posture, setting up your skin, mindset and such.

about deciding on maps, you want to maximize the time you're learning something. target your skillset weaknesses (especially during "bad sessions" for pushing yourself a lot) because it will pay out by helping in other unexpected ways. avoid practicing on maps with big diffspikes, your progress will be way more ambiguous on those. download a bunch of unranked or maybe tournament mappacks and most importantly, remember to have fun!

about posture, make sure your body has as many 90 degree angles as possible - this includes your arms with the elbows, your legs with the knees and your back. don't play with stretched out fingers or too much finger movement, it strains them way more and may lead to injuries. you wanna claw your hands a bit and use your wrist to support the tapping motions. the top side of your screen should roughly line up with the height of your eyes when sitting up straight.

about skin setup, reading should be as comfortable as possible, and your unstable rate firmly in the middle between early (negative ms value on the result screen graph) and late (positive). if it isn't, you can try less/more scroll speed or changing hitposition/combo position/column size in your skin.ini file. I'm not a believer in fully changing skins on a regular basis, but will often change the aforementioned values.

Would just be nice if they could use another name/branding as they've promised to me but not followed up upon.
