I mean sure difficulty names often are indicators of whether a map is a low diff, but that means nothing for charting purposes and the likes (maybe there will be a way to filter charts by star rating in the future, but for now there is no way to do so + it wouldn't filter out unorthodox low star maps).
doesn't make very much sense for a tag to exist for this imo since difficulty names themselves inherently serve the same purpose as a descriptor. dont need to add a tag for something just because there is lingo for it
i think there can be a tag for low diffs that DONT follow usual low diffuclty conventions (i.e. any top diffs that dont follow / take creative liberties from spread rc rules) but then this tag would need to be more specific
sure under the idea that i can actually find maps with this tag
I'm a little surprised there isn't a umbrella descriptor in regards to low diffs in general, even if they aren't as often rated here under the guise that they are typically uninteresting. Low diffs are prevalent enough and have enough of a specific restriction that I think it's worth at least giving this a spin.
If anything, I'd like this descriptor to make it easier to find good low diffs through descriptor charts.
