the chain slap is fucking annoying and has 0 to do with the state of the scuffed up chainring
Yeah, a new ring isn't going to affect the slap, but it might reduce the number of drops. A chainring has so much engagement that it will pretty much never jump until a lot of the teeth get well below the chord line, so that's not really any guide to how well it will perform in the orthogonal direction.
