just now i read through all the older posts. i strongly disagree with the people saying it would be unjust since the ones who are only concentrating on one game made won't be high in there. it's just an extra - you will still be high within your own category. if people care about ctb and you are a good ctb player, then they'll look at the ctb rankings. if people want to know about allrounders they'd just look into this new category.
if you only concentrate on osu!std and you dislike this because you won't be high in the cumulative ranking, why don't you dislike the taiko ranking? you aren't high up in there either. to you it should just be some kind of extra that you can look at if you're interested or not look at if you aren't.
there are many people who play more than just one gamemode who would be interested in seeing the best 'allrounders' who are high in each category. once i asked about good people in every gamemode in #osu and a short discussion started. if you weigh them individually - the benefit of having an 'own place' for the allrounders who tend to everything osu has to offer and a new interesting category to look at people who are skilled at different things. the disadvantage of players who concentrate on one category being "only" good at 1 ranking. which weighs heavier? is it even a disadvantage or just justified? i think as long as this cumulative rank isn't seen as more important than the individual single gamemodes, everything is fine. so i'd say if you don't name this new category "overall" or something but rather something like "mixed" or idk it should be fine (since if new people come to the osu website and they see "overall" in the ranking, they are gonna assume the "overall" best players are naturally the best players overall. guess you can see why i dislike that).
