So I just saw a comment chain in giving a whole bunch of different meanings to that tag, none of which (of the ones that I saw obv) are true, so I decided to clear up any confusion regarding this.
In short, it's dependent on how your level compares to the average player level for that map, specifically:
- If your level is more than 20 levels above average – "Breeze"
- If it's 10 (excluding 10) to 20 (inclusive) levels above average – "Easy"
- 0 (exclusive) to 10 (inclusive) levels above – "Normal"
- Equal or up to 15 (excluding 15) levels below – "Hard"
- 15 or more levels below average – "Insane"
If you're interested, here's the code snippet that controls this part:
