Gyms Officially Disabled

I'm hoping the gym update also comes with some pokemon CP changes.

First off, Gym leader should not be the strongest CP pokemon, but rather the first person to take the gym.

Secondly, there should be better rewards for owning a gym. If they are going to be easier to take, with faster turnovers, then 1. Make it so you get something when you take a different team's gym and 2. Give some type of reward for beating an attacker. Sure, giving coins might be a little OP. But what about 2 pokeballs per pokemon defeated. And your choice of 5 berries when you take a gym. Everyone in the gym should get experience when you successfully defend a gym to incentivize putting strong pokemon in.

Attacking a gym should give players even more experience per pokemon defeated. This will incentivize attacking. Right now, myself and others just feel no need to attack a gym because 10 coins is just not worth the time.

Also, I really hope they rework pokemon CP. Dragonite, Tyranitar, Blissey, Snorlax, and Gyarados meta is really boring. Make effectiveness and weaknesses 4x the damage and 1/4 the damage. This way people will actually want to build a strong team. Buff the CP on like at least half the top tier evolution of pokemon.

Not sure if I'm missing anything, but I'm sure I'd play PoGo a lot more if these changes happened.
