Extra:
- If a slider's follow circle covers the whole slider path, the movement of its slider ball may be ambiguous.
The intent for this rule is to allow sliders that may be FC'd without moving the cursor in ranked - regardless of slider composition. The issue arises that the guideline is open to too much interpretation, including ones which go against the intent.
So, the general vibe of "the slider can be ambiguous if it can be held without moving" must be captured. I propose the following, which I believe should be an improvement ^_^
