3. Oboroguruma Calculation Algorithm adjustment
Rating from only team performance has now been changed to calculate based team performance with personal contributions, and all onmyouji can see their respective points and final rating.
Adjustment: Algorithm uses points from time taken to kill Oborouguruma and adds them to personal ranking rating for the calculation.
Details are as follows:

 3000-3499
 2500-2999
 2000-2499
 0-1999 (and successfully killed)
 Fail to kill

Designer perspective: Oboroguruma's calculation method relies too greatly on the team. The new algorithm will add in personal contributions, so in the case of the entire team underperforming, achieving high damage will still result in decent rewards.
