Tried to order it from easier to harder but it depends what you think is easier and how good my memory is.

The Points and League should be your skill level, not your ladder level

I just read the interview with the new GSL Code A Caster:
"The only other PC game I played competitively was a rhythm game called osu!, which I played for about a year and a half, and at my my peak I was ranked fifth in the world (ID there is ThePassingShadow)."

With osz2 supposedly dropping next public release, I'd like to get some opinions from the greater osu! TL hivemind.

For those who don't know, osz2 is peppy's new format for osu beatmaps in an effort to reduce competitiveness and make the game more fun. While this is a totally different debate, the key features/changes in osz2 are:

- Forced skins on each map, with storyboard forcing for at least one clear (after you clear it once, you can toggle sb).
- Forced backgrounds.
- Removal of ability to take away certain map elements (if you remove say, the bg the map will become unranked and you will have to redownload. If you have maps you've modified you'll have to redownload them).

For those who don't know or care, this is a problem for many competitive players such as myself. Some maps are nigh impossible to play or FC with the skins and backgrounds mappers choose. Players who like mods are affected even more by this change (find a map with a flashy sb or white background that you've never played and Hard Rock or Hidden it).

On the other hand, the mappers' perspective of this is that since they put the effort needed to create their map, they get to choose how the players experience it. Many have argued that by removing certain objects or elements from maps, players are "ruining the ideal osu! experience" in that map.

I definitely fall into the former category, but I'm curious to see what others think about this issue - thoughts?

Edit: In an effort to increase transparency, I am a very competitive osu player. I was on the US osu team for the OWC tournament a couple months back, and I still regularly take #1's on leaderboards.

Aaaand here is the giant topic where peppy answers a boatload of questions about osz2. http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=47994

I'm glad I'm not a competitive player anymore ^^ I would have been raging. peppy has always had weird ideas with his features... Almost a "If I spent time creating this feature you WILL enjoy (endure) it." When Kiai was initially introduced some mappers went batshit insane with it, making some maps unplayable imo. The returned darrihuka (darri mix) comes to mind as a particularly egregious offender. peppy would not budge on making Kiai time toggleable though. And still doesn't? Why is he so set on ignoring the most dedicated members of the community.

Luckily there were workarounds :> gopice made a skin where kiai time was basically invisible ;p With FORCED skins though... peppy is just silly. And he's using the mappers as an excuse. Is the mapper consensus really that they want to force people to play the map with all the bells and whistles? I can't imagine it is ;o Many mappers are terrible to mediocre players themselves. When you play easy-hard maps it's possible to deal with Kiai time blinding you and blue circles on a blue background with fake blue SB circles floating around too... When you play Lunatic songs that's simply ridiculous though. How can people not see that :/

Anyhoo. Who are the top mappers these days? I haven't really played osu! in 6 months and am keen to play a bit again. Who should I look for when downloading maps? I used to enjoy happy30, lesjuh, Kirby, Card N'FoRcE, Alazy~ etc. Not a fan of DJPop style stream spams.

Do TL guys play multi at all?
