It took me 3 months to get a title shot and thats without losing a single LBT battle. Sure, once you win the title you only have to defend it once a month but you're not taking the road to the actual title shot into account. Or the fact that you only have 1 shot a month to improve your rank in order to earn that title shot and you HAVE to win or you're back to square one...
It's not an easy task by any means. I'd still say winning a Grand Championship is harder, but only because of the level of competition being elevated as a result of everybody wanting to win it.
If the skill level of the participants is about the same thn IMO winning 3-4 battles in a monthly 60-man league while facing increasingly tougher competition on route to a contender-match, then dethroning the reigning champion by winning the 32-line title battle is roughly = to winning 4 battles in a 32-man tournament while face increasingly tougher competition, including that of a semi-final and a championship match. And if you award the champ with a title representing the level of difficulty required to claim it then chances are it'll only increase the overall interest in the league.
& btw if having the title the exact same shade of blue's the issue thn dodger blue is the best available out of the others, but somebody should make a poll.

Heres the difference.. that gc is prestigious yes.but LBT LBV LBA is also prstigious in its own way.. heres why..you go thru a gc and your competion could either be dope or not.you win once then you can go hibermate for the rest of your life knowin noone can take that ish away... the above titles has to be defended for the rest of that battlers life on LB if he wants to keep it..and always will be against the top contenders.. just my 2cents

Just changed it to the last one. It's the same blue as the GC but a lighter version that's still distinct.

Do now it's "kinda sorta GC Blue but not really because that's offensive to some people"? For the love of Allah it should just be ORANGE!!!

The LBT Champ deserves more than an orange title. Its much harder to win than a topical/scheme tournament. And thats w/o even taking the fact that you have to defend it to keep it into consideration. 
Think of it as the equivelent to a championship belt in combat sports. The titles interchangable and by climbing the ranks, winning the title and succesfully defending it you can make your mark and establish yourself as one the, if not THE of the best textcee on the website. ie. ILLoKWENT But if you lose it, the bragging rights go with it.
The Grand Championship is more like the World Cup, the Tour de France or the Masters etc. Equally, if not slightly more prestigious on its own, but once you win it you have the accolades to brag about for the rest of your lifetime on LB.
Even if the titles are the exact same colour(which IMO they should be) the Grand Champion title will ALWAYS be more valuable because you dont have to defend it to keep it and the bragging rights never fade.

^Agreed 100% I personally don't think a color will change the prestige of the GC.

Thats enough wit color talk already... noble compromised and said that shade of blue was fine.. so leave it at that...the real question..is WHY IS IT THAT THE TITLES BEEN THE SAME COLOR FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND ONLY NOW COLOR HAD BECOME AN ISSUE..... noone seemed to care or mind back then.. WHY NOW? Imo it shoulda stayed the gc color
