I think we should split the key mode rankings, as they are more different from each other than most might think Typically, the average mania player will stick to only one of the key modes, and will only care about the performance points from said key mode. Seeing this, I think we should split all of the key modes into their own rankings. Quaver has this integrated and it works flawlessly. Another factor is how many more harder maps get ranked for 7 key and 4 key. On a typical day, I can scroll through osu!direct and see many more 7-9 stars for 7k than you'll see for any other key mode. And if you look at the top players for mania this reflects this. Because of this we only have a few 4 key players in the top 100, with them being far away from how many Performance Points the top 7 Key players have. For the reasons I've stated, I think we should move away from the old (current) ranking system of having combined Performance Points for all key modes and split them up into their own categories.

Yes

yes

yes

yes

4k on top

whats funny is that code like this basically exists already in osu since you can easily integrate which gamemode you are maining with 2 clicks

as a 6k main, yes

Yes, but there should still be a mixed category like we already have.

skill issue

there are split leaderboards for 4k and 7k

a leaderboard for the everything other than 4k and 7k should do, these are sort of niche currently at osu! (except 7k1s could be merged into 7k instead)

8K would require special treatment if we start considering playstyles
cuz there's native 8k and 7k1s, which do not play the same
same thing for 10k+, 10k8k isn't the same as 9k9k
I'd just stick with not merging two of them for the sake of simplicity

i disagree with this, everyone is still shoved into the same leaderboards, im saying we remove that and only show one keymodes rank and not combine all keymodes into one big conglomerate, kind of how quaver does things

If that will move me up in rank, I'll be happy

But yes, for years now I have noticed the same thing with 7k players always being above the people who play 4k, I guess that would motivate a few people to play more and improve now that they could reach top 100, 10 or even top 1 more easily.
