Does scoring well(Getting high rankings) on approved beatmaps, the beatmaps with the fire icon, increase your pp? I know that Ranked & Approved beatmaps, the beatmaps with the heart icon increases pp if you score well.
Both approved beatmaps and ranked beatmaps give you PP.
Approved beatmaps in past were used when "ranked score" metric was used, these beatmaps weren't counting toward that metric. In PP case all beatmaps are counted.
Trying to be productive!
