Basically the line of (non)logic runs as follows:
- 3000 CP defenders are useless
- Gyms are too easy to attack
- I'll assign pidgeys to gyms because they work just as well as anything else
By assigning nerfed versions (as in not powered up) of high quality defenders the player makes certain that each such assigned pokemon is easier to attack compared to the shelved, maxed out ones.
By assigning utter crap to defend gyms the same player then proceeds to make the entire gym easier to attack.
Finishing the moronic route by complaining about how easy gyms have become to attack is a display of cluelessness on an epic scale.
There are three top class defenders with a maximum CP below 3000. Chansey, Lapras and Steelix. Either keep them for when a gym won't allow you to assign one of your other top class defenders, or assign them to remote gyms you just want to keep indefinitely.
There are a number of second tier defenders with max CP below 3000. I recommend using these as fillers in high traffic gyms where there's no open spot for one of your grade A defenders.
If there are open spots for one of your best defenders in a high traffic gym, then assign it there. A 3200+ snorlax or 3100+ blissey is better than their sub 3000 CP versions.
A high traffic gym will either get attacked before motivation degradation becomes a problem, in which case your maxed out defender hurts the attacker more, or it will be fully populated with all assigned defenders sufficiently fed with berries, in which case motivation degradation ceases to be an issue.
In short, your best defenders from before the gym rework remain your best defenders today. Arguably with the exception of vaporeon who got badly hurt by the power shift when it comes to grass versus water.
Oh, and if you insist on plugging shit into gyms, at least have the decency to stop complaining that the gyms inexplicably are easier to attack now -- your pidgey doesn't help your argument.
