WE cannot lie to ourselves and pretend that all servers are equal. Near the end of the season, it became clear that many North American players that could not get into challenger transferred to LAN due to weaker competition. The problem here is that Mobafire is a site known primarily for its guides, and its reputation isn't exactly the greatest.
In an effort for more transparency, and to make guide creation fair, I believe that next to the ribbon should be a display of the server. Someone that has achieved Masters in NA may be more reputable than someone who has achieved Challenger in LAN.
I am not attempting to **** on LAN, but to address a harsh reality and to keep this site honest.

Thanks to jhoijhoi for the awesome PsiGuard-loving sig!
I don't think this is a big enough problem to warrant adding more visual complexity to the ranked ribbon. You can always check the user's profile to see what server their verified account is on.
