I exclusively use osu!lazer. I have never touched osu!stable in my life (nor with my account), ever. Everything here is in the context of osu!lazer, not osu!stable.
I joined osu! in 2021-10-27 by creating an account. By now, I have almost 200 hours or 8 days of playtime for the osu! game mode.
Previously, I had around 60 or 70 percent hit accuracy, and I can do maybe 5 or 6 star maps with a grade of D (less than 70% accuracy in osu!lazer), and not fail.
Or, at least I *could*.
There was an osu!lazer update on 2023-11-30 that included a change to health drain in the osu! game mode.
Health drain change for the osu! game mode
Then suddenly after that change and update, I suck at osu!. Much worse than before. Now I'm failing at maps I could previously pass. Like the 5 and 6 star maps that I could pass before the update is now a fail, and my replays are ruined since they are wrong.
Oh no, my self-esteem is completely ruined. /s
...
Wait, osu!catch??
Yes, I did indeed play osu!catch. I have about 37 hours of playtime and 91% hit accuracy. How the heck am I better at osu!catch?
Well, I don't know. But in terms of accuracy and grade, I'm pretty good! Well, at least for maps in the 3 or 4 star range.
So how the heck do I have better grades in osu!catch with less playtime? (albeit with less hard maps "compared" to osu!)
Well, "easier" and "better". It's more like osu! maps which are actually for my skill level, not something that is way beyond my skill level. Those maps are in the 3 to 4 star range.
By playing those "easier" maps and getting "better", I have actually increased my stats in the game by a lot.
On 2023-12-08, my rank (at least on lazer.ppy.sh) was about 260k. Then 2 days later on 2023-12-10, my rank suddenly jumped to 210k. Today (2023-12-17), it's 200k.
My maximum combo has reached 799. That would at least mean I would get the medal for 500 combo at least, but since medals aren't a thing yet in osu!lazer (coming soon(tm)), I didn't get one.
My hit accuracy has also gotten much higher, going from around the 60% to 70% range to 86.98% right now.
Now that I compare to my osu!catch plays, it's kind of the same story: I'm actually good at this game (at least at the level I'm currently at).
I also even gained performance points. When I played maps not for my skills, I just never got any at all.
I just had to play the game at the level that worked for me. Well, it was fun trying to play the game with fun maps, but I guess I'm going on numbers instead now.
