Ello,
Sorry if this has already been asked for but i would like to see a "Prefer Score" option in the game.
Introduction to the idea:
Plenty of people in the osu!community will know at least either of those situations:
a.) You have a certain score on a map. You try to redo the map with different mods to gain more pp. You get a play that would give you more pp but isn't counted because it has a lower score than your old play
b.) You try to achieve more pp at the same map but are frightened because you could actually get a higher score with a worse play. You can't always watch your accuarcy while you are playing since that would affect your gameplay a lot in a negative way. You either decide not to play it because of that or you do decide to play it and you actually end up with a better score and worse pp.
Just now i had the first case happen to me again and i have enough of it. I really want to change how things are currently regarding this scenario.
How to solve the problem:
In my opinion there should be a button "Prefer Score" or something along those lines in the Beatmap Options Menu. It should use that score to calculate your pp's. Whether the 'better' online score should be cleared or not is debateable.
Why i think this is fair:
PP is meant as a measure of how well you play. If you actually played better i think it is only just that you gain pp. If you played worse i think you shouldn't be held liable for that and lose pp since it takes away the fun always having to think about it and in a normal scenario this isn't happening so that should be prove of it not being what the game actually aims for.
Example:
As you can see in the picture the pp i actually would have gotten from the new play were 161pp instead of 150pp. a pretty decent increase. yet because of the lower score the new play wasn't counted. As someone who lately struggles gaining pp it feels very demotivating to still not gain anything while i actually should have at least little results. I know people will hate for using this pp-farm map as an example but it doesn't change the outcome.
Other aspects:
A really good effect of this change would actually be that it is an equal change that can help everyone. It doesn't matter if you are a new player or a old player. If you play with or without mods. It is an equal opportunity.
Instead of bringing in scorev2 or anything along those lines i would really like this in the game. The score system is actually fine as it is in my opinion, it just happens to have a strong conflict with the pp-system in my opinion.
uh. k. thx. bye.
