And how can pp be PERFORMANCE points if I get less #1's than other people (and less impressive top ranks, at that) and I still get ranked way too high. The pp system is as much of a PERFORMANCE based system as is just randomly picking a runner on a track competition and calling him the fastest. That's how much PERFORMANCE you need to rank high on the system.
Actually, the performance point-system is kinda weird to me, because it...I think so..is choosing randomly whats good and bad and throws a certain amount of points out that push you up in the rankings.
Example (my last CtB plays), also adding these flags that are (maybe) used by the pp-system:
- I play a 2 year old beatmap, actually worse (getting an A) and Rank #620 => 20 pp (which is a lot intended to some old maps where I get only 1-4 pp for a good play)
2 year old map: -low contention, +high difficulty, =accuracy (getting near 100% gives more pp, I was around 97%), -online rank (not #500)
And a fun thing I found: "online ranks above #500 don't count", but as stated above I was #620.
- I play a relatively new map (5 months or less) and I play perfect, SS and Rank 80 => I'm not getting even 1 pp.
new map: +high contention, +high difficulty, +online rank (#80), +accuracy(100%)
+ is a positive effect on pp, - negative and = is stated as a effect I don't know how to set.
I mean, I understand the system with all it's weighting and some certain effects and stuff needed for a high amount of pp, but this is just senseless, because I mostly get awarded for my worse plays (like told above).
