Simple buff for low AR #112

Description

Background

Most would agree that low AR is very underweighted with the current PP algorithm. To address this, I'm proposing a simple buff to aim PP based on AR.

Calculation Proposal

For AR less than 7:
Multiplier = 1.6

For AR between 7 and 10:
Multiplier = 1 + (10 - AR)/5

This factor is multiplied by aim PP to give the buffed aim PP. This translates to a 20% buff for AR9, a 40% buff for AR8, and a 60% buff for AR7 and below. These values may seem a bit extreme, but remember this is only being applied to aim PP. After total PP is calculated, the buff turns out to be very modest.

The rationale for the constant bonus below AR7 is that plays in this range are far more likely to be memorized as opposed to sightread (not including easy/medium difficulties). So, there should not be any additional AR reading bonus.

Some Results

AR7.5
-GN | Ryoushi no Umi no Lindwurm [Death of the Quantum Sea] 96.49% FC
314pp -> 401pp

AR8
chocomint | Yakumo >>JOINT STRUGGLE (2014 ReWorks) [Phantasm] +HD 98.98% FC
354pp -> 392pp
Mismagius | C-TYPE [SS-TYPE] 100% FC
232pp -> 298pp
WubWoofWolf | Cry for Eternity [Legend] 99.33% FC
361pp -> 418pp

AR9
Vaxei | Rainbow Dash Likes Girls (Stay Gay Pony Girl) [Holy Shit! It's Rainbow Dash!!] 99.77% FC
487pp -> 546pp
chocomint | Kami no Kotoba [Voice of God] +HD 99.86% FC
460pp -> 511pp
Rafis | FREEDOM DiVE [FOUR DIMENSIONS] 99.93% FC
586pp -> 627pp

EZ/HT Scores
Riviclia | Koi no Hime Hime Pettanko [Taeyang's Ultra Princess] +EZ,HD,DT 98.13% FC
485pp -> 644pp
-GN | The Promethean Kings [The Merciless] +EZ,HT 98.68% FC
397pp -> 520pp
Cappy | Those Who from the Heavens Came [Fengshen Yanyi] +HT 99.75% FC
395pp -> 429pp

Notes

  1. The low AR buff shouldn't apply to FL scores, since AR is practically irrelevant in this case.
  2. Some may have concerns about easy/medium maps receiving buffs since they naturally have low AR. This shouldn't be a major issue, since the buffs will be minimal (i.e. 40pp -> 44pp).
  3. HD already has a low AR buff in the current algorithm. This buff will be applied on top of the one that already exists, giving HD plays two separate buffs.
