As you can see if a player places a random or fluke score they can easily usurp a player who is clearly playing at a more consistent level. With the change it would shift these players closer in ranking without giving fluke scores such power and make placing similar scores within your top 10 more feasible. The player sporting a high pp scores IS deserving of a pronounced rank, but it really shouldn't overthrow players who are more deserving to be at that rank. This wouldn't allow farming neither because it would taper off still. At first I was against putting 0% worth, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense to not even count so many scores. 1% of a score shouldn't really be what a player is focusing on in my opinion, but constantly replacing your top score to get anywhere will just cause such anxiety. I'm honestly interested in seeing where all players would be sitting if such a weighting method was put in place.
