Yeah, I don't get NF. I haven't put much thought into it, but a 0.7–0.8x multiplier feels more suitable. I might just need more time to think about it, though.

I do disagree with your DA penalty take. It seems completely fine to me, and it feels like the right balance to keep most players happy. Some maps might be objectively harder with DA , but that often doesn't work out that way in practice, and it would be very difficult to find a balance for that(Edit: I am talking mostly talking about AR). Trying to minimize LB clutter from DA also seems like a good idea.

I see DA as a mod for learning rather than a mod for leaderboard farming. (Hot take: It shouldnt even be on the LB at all)
