You seem to be shooting the idea down without even giving a good reason why you don't think it'll work.

No one talks about tier points, especially in a competitive nature. Tier points are
hopelessly out of date. Tier points don't accomplish a single damn thing the other statistics don't do, but better.
Especially with the modern systems.
You finding them as a minigame is textbook irrelevant, but if that's what makes them fun for you, hey at least you personally found a use for them. I don't share that thinking. I'd have obliterated them from existence on the site literal years ago.

I think this additional top 100 is a step in a better direction when you compare those two systems based on the discussion so far. Considering its use of pre-existing design I'd think it better serve the resources it'd take up, but that's obviously a topic a dev would be more suited to comment on.
If there's enough interest, I believe it's worth trying for a year to see the results if nothing else.

I respectfully disagree with the take that they [tier points] meant more. Frankly since we've been able to view other level ranks, they're horribly outdated. They were, at best, a horribly curated goal sheet that neglected a large repertoire of the game's content.

You didn't understand my point, which is shocking, considering you say it here. Which is indicated by me saying I actually liked the idea.
I think my "why it would fail" is earlier here, but to short hand: it will be rendered obsolete by following the same path a current system we have has taken.
