Legendaries in Gyms

Here's an idea for a way to Nerf the value of legendaries in gyms yet keep them strong.
Assuming Niantic keeps the same coin system with the gym gyms of course.
Legendary Pokemon, being legendary, should be more powerful in gyms than others.
The caveat would be that they "gather" coins at a slower pace, so you'd get only 1 coin per 30 minutes instead of 10 minutes.
Further, in order to heal them, golden berries are less effective, so you'd need to use 2-3 in order to fully heal your legendary Pokemon.
Maybe even weaker Pokemon could gather coins at quicker paces.
I just wanna see some legendaries mixed in with regular Pokemon in gyms. Especially after hearing about battle system values being notified. (Still would prefer an overhaul)
What do you think?

There is a lot of reasons why my town pretty much stop playing this game and this is one of the top reasons. Just let Legendarys be in gyms and up the coin per day to 100 instead of 50 we feel we are being ripped off.

Legendaries don't really need any kind of a nerf to be put into gyms, none of them are as good at defending as Blissey/Chansey, and only Lugia is better than Snorlax out of all of them.

But I agree that they should allow legendaries in gyms, just for the variety and fun of fighting them.

Legendaries don't need a nerf, either by stats or coin accumulation. They're widespread enough that most people have at least one of them. If there absolutely has to be a limit on them limit it to two per gym or something, they have the tags associated with them so it shouldn't be hard to do.

I do agree that they deserve gym placement now, that in conjunction with this rebalance can hopefully give some of the less utilized legendaries a place to shine.

Having weaker Pokémon generate coins faster would surely change the gym meta, probably for the worst. You’d see a bunch of rats and pidgeys in every gym.

Yes, just found that gym, but somebody else already put in a Magikarp. Had to put in my CP 10 Sentret, now it will take me 28 minutes to get my 50 coins instead of 22.

Don't think that will add to the gym scene.
