Why rank multiable students as "Champions" when with the norm in most games there are one Champion per region? It would make more sense to rank students from novice to expert or even elite as a rank with the top student being "champion" in a sense. Maybe it's just me being autistic with the status quo how past games worked since the start but it felt like they tried to hard to be different while forcing it to stay the same at the same time.
