I mean, I had to hit 10th best score all time (4th when I hit it) to max out an intermediate scenario 🤷🏻♂️ top 250 doesn’t seem too bad lol

Pls explain then lol because how I see it, each rank up for that scenario is roughly +650 score over the previous rank. And maxing out is just a little higher than that. Seems about right to me.

The way I look at it, you're not supposed to be able to max it out until you can dominate that level. You complete platinum, move on to intermediate, and then come back occasionally and use it to guage your progress. I'm well into elite on most things now, and that's what I use the Intermediate max scores for. If it's fully maxed, I don't bother going back to those scenarios
the scores aren't impossible, but they ARE difficult, and I think that's the intention
lavish magnet
you're misconstruding rank with score
craggy mauve
some of the scores are really hard i agree
sturdy garden
You don’t need to max the scenario to get complete lol
lavish magnet
^
you only need to get the base rank on all tasks to get complete. you don't need MAX on everything, that's just a bonus
Like I said, I think that is intentional
sturdy garden
Yeah that’s normal. You just need to hit 500 for plat. 599 is a side quest.
lavish magnet
would you rather it cap at 500 points, so you have to max everything to get platinum in general?
I also didn't say entry wasn't overtuned, I said I think the formula is intentional. Your OP is in regards to some of them being "insane" to max out, which my argument is that it's intentional
everything is a little overtuned, just look at the leaderboard distribution. Also, the rank in the leaderboard means literally nothing, all that matters is the score

intentional, and not impossible

look at the score differences between diamond, and maxed entry

how many people do you think skipped entry entirely and went straight to intermediate? lol
alr lets skip all the back and forth and just bring @lost crater into this. Is the entry maximum, being 20% above threshold, intentional?

Alright brother, good luck on your journey to 599 🙋🏻♂️

The fact is, I can answer it, and you said in your original post you already looked at the algorithm, which means you should have already understood how it functions before making your edit. That's the "disparity" or "bug" you're so quick to point out like you have some modicum of authority here.
It's simplistic because it CAN apply to everything, and it's done that way to generalize the increase in skill required. As I said before, look at the difference between platinum 599 and the threshold in intermediate (diamond). You can clearly see that if you can hit diamond, you can easily hit maxed on platinum, but you wouldn't know that because you're still topaz. Based on your responses, you know nothing of statistics or high school mathematics, and trying to attack me on a personal level saying I know nothing about this, is honestly hilarious.
"Word salad" isn't just a phrase you can throw out there because you can't be fucked to read an actual sentence. I'm not being defensive, I was telling you my thoughts on the matter, and even AGREED with you that everything is over-tuned and not just entry. You know, like how you said this is a forum for feedback and discussions? Yet you're the one getting defensive to my point of view and explanation without fully grasping the words that I type in a particular order so it's easy to understand. But if you really want a word salad;
Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice!
Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake!
Maybe if you read the thread where you saw the algorithm, you would understand a bit better. Since you don't seem to like to look, I'll even give you the link. Next time, you should probably exercise a bit of caution before you look for a fight 🙂

Now that my meds have kicked in, I decided to argue against myself since no one else has taken up that task and I was looking forward to something to get the brain juices flowing. inb4 "just more word salad"
Since I haven't figured out the API yet to pull the data and do an accurate distribution, I had to settle for the data I could easily access. Data was taken from the live leaderboard on entry level only, and manually entered into the spreadsheet. Confirmation of assumptions and additional checks would need to be completed by either the Devs, or someone with knowledge and access to the API.
There is a perceived and notable difference between rank and max score, as OP indicated, by the max score threshold position on the leaderboard with the data that is available. Even accounting for a normalized population to the average across all tasks, there exists a real discrepancy in perceived difficulty compared to the other skill categories, and the leaderboard "rank" that is required to hit those scores. The current algorithm appears to be ~98.5% accurate across all tasks, weighted much more negatively in the Switching category after normalization.
Since OP wants to go off of the percentile rank based on this thread, I included that in the normalizations and checks to see where that score would land at current.
Given the significant discrepancy in population between tasks (High: 132,247 on Strafeshot -> Low: 24,401 on skateswitch), and the lack of a true distribution across tasks, it's impossible to definitively say one way or the other whether the algorithm that is in use is suited to the task. Just saying "I don't feel like this is fair" isn't sufficient for suggesting changes given the differences in skill expression between the tasks. The fact remains, if you can hit diamond in the task, you can max entry level. If you find any flaws in my approach, let me know and I'll correct for them.
and for giggles, I checked what would happen if the max score ratio in entry matched what is set in intermediate against that normalized score. Some tasks STILL wouldn't qualify for 599 if the max score algorithm matched
