Catch up on the latest community meeting and participate in discussing the final evolution of osu!'s scoring system!
A bit over a week ago, a community meeting was held to discuss how to proceed with scoring in osu!(lazer) with various people in the community.
If you missed the previous meeting, here's the quick summary of where we have been:
And here's where we are now:
It's that last point that motivated this meeting. ScoreV2 has proven to be a better scoring system as it has been used for tournament play for years, but there may be issues that could be addressed. What adjustments to make, if any, is the big question.

Much of the conversation this time surrounded a long-debated topic: combo. Specifically, its significant — perhaps too significant — influence on score. These potential changes for the osu! game mode were discussed:
There were some other issues brought up as well:
In short, ScoreV2 is the future — or at least an improved version of it. But in order to make sensible adjustments, focus should be spent on identifying problematic leaderboards and outlier scores that "feel wrong", to identify underlying issues and experiment with applying changes to get those scores closer to expectations.
This is where you come in. We're looking for feedback on the current ScoreV2 system in order to nail down any remaining issues. The coming months will see the last steps taken to lock in scoring and make scores permanent in the new client.
Keep in mind that there are as many opinions on scoring as there are players, and any adjustments will therefore focus on aligning things "close enough" to fix widely perceived issues, rather than debating over fine details.
A lot of extensive discourse about scoring has been going on for months already, e.g. in this GitHub thread concerning ScoreV2 as it currently stands. If want to contribute, post your well-thought-out ideas, aggregated survey findings and feedback for other proposals there.
