There is a rank for Standard, for Taiko, for CtB and for Mania.
I request there to be a fifth rank. The cumulative rank.
It takes all your pp from all modes together (and divides by 4 for average) and that will be an other ranking.
So I would have 1369+3449+863+624 = 6305 total pp (1576,25 average)
Jackylam5 (good Dutch all mode player) would have 5593+1983+3965+1070 = 12611 total pp (3152,75 average)
It counts it vor everyone, and makes a new ranking (make a new tab in ranking page http://osu.ppy.sh/p/pp which you can set to country/friends

I actually had something like this in my mind aswell but could not post it because some silly rules. Your idea sounds good thou.

+1 if you figure out a good way to get cumulative rank for each map difficulty aswell.

i dislike this because it feels like adding unnecessary clutter to userpages but at the same time a new ranking like this could breathe some life into the other modes as surely quite a few people would like to be rank 1 'all-around' osu player.

It will NOT add a fifth tab in userpage, but in the notmal text, cumulative pp+rank
Also it will go to the page I said

Love the idea! It also encourages players to maybe be all-rounders :)

Thanks!

Out of stars but like the idea.

Very good Idea! Supporting :)
Fudgy
Good idea :)

I always wondered, as an all-mode player myself, who is the best at playing all modes. I would like to compare my 3455pp average with others. I think the best one would be Remilia-Scarlet if he was still playing.

Defintely Remilia-Scarlet.
Too bad all her Taiko/CtB/Mania pp is gone, so we don't know ;-;

Then shoot some stars :P
Hier hadden een paar mensen in #dutch het over, dat Jacky zo geel goed zou staan, dus ik dacht, laat ik t eens requesteren :P
Shivarion
not bad. it's just like the idea they're talking about in clan system

i really love this idea, its only a think if peppy wants to use so much server space to do another ranking calculation, but if he does then it would be so fucking awesome..im gonna give this idea all my stars since i love all-mode playing ^^

Thanks.
Most stars I ever had on a feature request ;-;
Still thank guys!

I love the idea because im an all mode player

no thanks. Seems pretty unnecessary ;A;

For you probably (since you don't play CtB/Mania), but for the all mode players (like me) this would be very cool, and this would also support all-modeing @Yazawa
Makou
I agree

I really like the idea I'm all for it .

Mine is 3,621 + 4,083 + 3,362 + 1,126 = 12192 (3,048 average) ^^
Topic Starter
Bara-
That's good.
Still think Remilia-Scarlet and spro would be the best

Though it's unnecessary, I feel like it would be a 'fun' addition.

However I do feel this a bit of a problem:
- Doing it the way you suggested would mean going to the rankings-page and having to look up every single player I'd want to know the cumulative ranking of.
- Not doing your way would mean everyone's profile would have to be changed and I can see a lot of people not wanting that.

It can also display on the profile as a new 'tab', like Kudosu, Beatmaps, Achievements.
Cumulative stats maybe?

Something like this?
Topic Starter
Bara-
Yeah
nrl
But... why?
Topic Starter
Bara-
1.) Why not
2.) It shows who is the best all-rounder
3.) Adds a new ranking to the game
4.) Supports people to play all modes, like me
5.) Hopefully there will become more hybrid mapsets, as all modes are going to be together for an extra ranking, so more mode-scecifics would be good
nrl
Why not? Different game modes are basically different games. Why does a cumulative rank across different games make any sense?

Never mind the fact that pp differs wildly across all osu!'s game modes.
Bobbias
An average rank makes slightly more sense (but still is nearly pointless), but a rank determined by simply adding your ranks for each mode together makes no sense at all. Each gamemode has a variable number of players active, meaning ranks in each mode have different levels of value. If you're ranked 3k in std, that is worth a LOT more than 3k in mania. Also, how do you handle players who only play some of the modes, but not all?

This assumes that ranks are actually a useful measure of skill. They aren't.

baraatje123 wrote:

3.) Adds a new ranking to the game
A new ranking that is entirely tied to other rankings, which makes it lose most of it's meaning.

baraatje123 wrote:

Assuming everyone cares about ranking in the first place. It hardly adds any real value to the game since it's just doing a bit of math for you.

It doesn't add any new mechanics to the game, nor does it add anything particularly useful (such as editor improvements, new mods, etc.). I suppose the one thing it has going for it is that it would be relatively easy to implement.

Bara-
It doesn't add up the ranks
It adds up the pp

That's just as bad.

I like this idea. It wouldn't personally affect me, but I think it would be a cool feature.

It's like a slap in the face when the only game mode is play is standard, yet say a 10k ranker is higher than me in a ranking scoreboard that I don't care about.

If this is implemented, at the very least don't include players that don't actually have performance in all modes.

I don't want some ugly 5/6 digit rank in my profile simply because I don't play other modes.

i support you to the very end baraatje123 :3 i like the idea

This is to support all-modeing
So IMO it should do it for EVERYONE,

What he said

And one more thing - we can already call an all rounder someone, who plays standard mode, and excels in all of the elements: streaming, aiming, single tapping, alternating and so on. Dunno about the other play modes, but i think you could find something like that as well.

Lolwut?

Also, if you play CTB only once and got 1pp, you also have an 'ugly' 6-digit rank, do I do NOT see the problem there
This ofc also applies to the other modes

The point is that there isn't any way to implement a cumulative rank that would hold any meaning as a ranking metric. The inherent dissimilarity of osu!'s game modes invalidates the very notion of a cumulative rank.

I think Tom should be able to tweak it, if there is a need for it tbh, which I don't think it's neccessary
theramdans
Interesting, but how about those people who mostly only play 1/2 modes
like, the most top-tier pro players plays osu! mode mostly
some plays ctb mode mostly!
same goes for o!m and taiko

If you dont plat taiko, you dont look at your taiko rank. If you dont play o!m you dont look at your o!m rank. If you dont play all modes, you dont look at your cumulative rank.
