as I've played through more and more maps I've become jaded and I've grown to notice that 90% of maps play mostly the same with only up & down notes, standard "flow". Even when I've set my expectations low I'd still be completely let down by a map having no interesting patterns, not using horizontal notes at all and me beating the map on the first try with a good score because the map was being overly safe.
Thankfully there is some kind of effort now to combat this by accepting a wider variety of mapping in ranked.
