I almost think Inno should adjust the LP's for 3rd place, instead you'd earn -25 LP, that way if your an upper diamond but not quite at the top in a tough season you'd drop to mid diamond. It would shuffle the "algorithm" a little better imo on the next season matchups.
To comment on the unfairness of the way the rankings work, I agree that its not ideal the way it is now. I'm in a guild that is about #5 in my world that hasn't had a chance at 1st place yet due to the matchups after 5 seasons. After some consideration I thought this to be unfair, but unfair is in the eye of the beholder. From a mid diamond guilds perspective if they didn't have an opportunity to drop and rise from mid to high diamond then they'd never get the Level 1 Ch. Bldg. If mid diamonds guilds never got it, but only say the top 3-5 guilds had a shot at it then it would be really unfair over many Championship seasons. Lets say after 1 year the top guild has 4 Level 2 Champions buildings, that's 1600 guild goods per day and an extra +320/320 A+D. The top guilds would absolutely run away with it and leave everyone else way behind in capability. Don't get me wrong they will still be stronger, but they won't run away with it. If a mid diamond guild won 4 Level 1 Champions buildings they'd add +200/200 A+D with 400 guild good/day it narrows the gap, albeit marginally. To me that seems to be Inno's logic, otherwise the mid diamond GBG guilds would pack it in and GBG would only be geared towards the top 3-5 guilds.
