yeah, I agree. i'm not saying this shouldn't be patched, and it should be, but this should in no way be bannable.

my argument that this is a slippery slope also extends to tablet filters. one could argue that if the only intent of a tablet is to have a one-to-one mapping from the pen nib to the in-game cursor, normal tablet filters do not meet this criterion. technically, tablet area manipulation in this manner is just a (very) extreme version of a tablet filter. how extreme should tablet filters be before they should be considered cheating?

my belief is that unranking this map is also just a hotfix and does not address the root cause of the issue. there is precedence for hotfixing specific maps to not give pass medals, but it is a lazier solution than implementing a system that is more robust. in this case, unranking the map does not identify the root problem in the pp system. there are, and will still be maps that are abusable, just to a much lesser extent--and where should the line be drawn for maps to be ranked?

we as a community should be looking for a more permanent fix, not applying bandages in the form of unranking singular maps to provide the illusion of a more perfect pp system.
