For years. I don't think I've ever asked this before; is there some technical reason that combo scoring is still a thing (that is, beyond a better replacement than raw score, and the computational load of calculating it) or is it just "it's always been done this way" or an argument along those lines (not trying to strawman you guys, just talking about inertia)?
