Cookiezi and Shaggon both hovered in the 300s or 400s for a while just playing for #1s on songs with ridiculous mods until they decided to play for ranking, Shaggon made it up pretty high but I guess he's back around #100, and we all know where Cookie is now. Everyone thought Cookiezi was a hacker for a long time because he came out of nowhere beasting songs with mods that nobody thought possible lol.

Rank is just an indication of how much you play really, obviously you have to have some talent to get into 4/3/2-digit ranks but you can probably still get into the top 100 or 200 just by playing every map on the hardest (or second hardest difficulty on some) difficulty and getting a mediocre score. Since osu doesn't really punish people's score enough for having lower accuracy you can still sort of keep up with the guys who 99% everything even if you only score 90% on every map as long as you full combo.

True enough. Still, it's a nice way to see some sort of "improvement", especially when I am going back and ranking up by beating old scores that sucked. It's just one more way for me to fee some (albeit artificial) progress. It's a good way for me to make myself play a bit more because I have some sort of goal (Reach rank 10k, etc.). Playing just to improve, which is what i usually do in music games, can be insanely frustrating at times, where I may be overall improving, but not very visibly. Something like reaching a goal of Rank XYZ is nice because either you reach your goal, or you don't.

Plus I'm not generally playing for ranking (I don't go out and download a ton of stuff just to rank).

Everyone goes through a rankwhoring period, then realizes rank doesn't mean shit and that skill is all subjective (then quits altogether because Cookiezi/White Wolf have reached the pinnacle of Osu).

Time to go through my rankwhoring period.

I'll be back when I break rank 1000.

It's only bad when you've just broken 1k, once you get down to the 200s or 100s it starts showing up less often since it takes longer to rank up.

Plus if you get into the top 100 you get an announcement in chat by Bancho Bot, there's always that to look forward to lol

Haha, I realized that long ago. Any game that allows for user created content is going to be inundated with absolute garbage.

Like I said, i know rank means nothing, but it's nice to see a number continually getting higher (well, as long as nobody is passing me anyway).

It's funny because you'd think with exceptional quality control systems like the BATs and MATs in place that such garbage wouldn't make it through to ranking in the first place.

Oh wait.

so much shit on BAT/MAT, i'd hate to play osu without it to be honest. the amount of shit maps that would make it though, i know some hate is warranted however they still filter majority of the bad maps.

I don't play enough new songs to really rank whore been floating around 6500/7000 for awhile now.

mm, i download and play a beatmap pack once every day or two so naturally i have a ton of different maps. i don't consider what i do rank whoring, though in reality it probably is. e_e i FC every map in the pack (or at least get a decent A if it's a harder map), and any maps in said pack that i enjoy or know i can improve on i'll add to my favorites to play again later. as someone who doesn't really care to play with mods, going through a bunch of new maps is what keeps the game enjoyable for me.

i'm tired did this even make sense? essentially i play a beatmap pack and then play the maps in my favorites. prevents me from playing like 5 packs in a day.

edit: plus i play a lot less now 'cause of dota 2 :S

You think that, but it's actually because BATs/MATs aren't even looking at the maps so they don't even get considered for ranking.

edit: just noticed White Wolf is first in rankings now lol

I do agree that ranking is not really that important, but I think there are layers of skill. I can't imagine that anyone in the 4 digit rankings is bad at osu, but like it has been said multiple times I also think that the top players do not have to be the top ranked.

I've hit such a cold streak the last few days, so disheartening. I've hit a wall where there are no maps that fit how I like to practice. I usually like doing stupidly hard maps that I can't even get a note into so then everything seems slower, but now there really aren't any that I can't follow for at least a little bit. Its a could problem to have, but still the most frustrating thing ever.
