Well, it's an improvement.

This is nitpicky, but since it's a re-creation anyway: the DIFFICULTY axis label should be written normally and have the whole word rotated, instead of having each letter rotated separately to read vertically down.

Why? I know there's a reason for that formatting, it's bugged me for a while now and I haven't been able to find the origin. Is it something to do with Latin? Old English signs?? 1980s spreadsheet programs???

Since we're making a parody of a chart, readablitiy is more important than accuracy.

I'm half tempted to lampshade the issue in the caption (something like "This difficulty chart makes no sense; the difficulty caption is upside down.")

^^ The nitpick has little to do with accuracy. I think that's significantly less readable. It's a poor design choice.

I think it's easier to read a word tilted 90° than a word written vertically with normally aligned letters.

I don't have a problem with either of the first two there.

Don't have a problem with the last two there.

I'd go for 34.2 over 34.1. No real reason why, though.

34.1 = 34.3 ≥ 34.2; it's a very slightly-greater-than for me. I don't really have an issue with the words alignment.

Hooked a crowner since there's not enough consensus on one design to pick.

Votes bump; two in the green.

Way past time to call this one. The new version's swapped in; locking up.
