What if I told you those people are wrong?
I would love to see someone justify how the positives of this change outweigh the laundry list of negatives, such as:
- Did you play for SS ranks? Well, fuck you, go redo half of them at random. Many legendary top plays possibly ruined. Get rekt Barusamikosu.
- Thousands of #1 map ranks will be reshuffled. I'm sure the holders of those records won't mind losing them at random.
- Any map designed to take advantage of the previous mechanics (Adult Toy? Give Me A Break Stop Now? etc) is now substantially altered/ruined.
What positives are we getting in return from this goalpost shifting, aside from "muh rhythm get good noob lol play more"?
Are you sure that the people who like this change are even in the majority, much less the substantial majority? Are you prepared to handle the tidal wave of complaints from thousands of players who have their play history and/or maps negatively impacted and were unaware of this decision until the moment it is foisted upon them if you find you've substantially misjudged your level of support for this?
Why can this just not be a difficulty increasing mod that people can opt into for extra points/pp instead of something that retroactively edits ten years of a game's history with the precision and subtlety of a chainsaw? Why are we punishing players for past plays when we could be rewarding them for new plays instead?
