That, or make a 4-man all-summoner premade through a PvP discord server to boost your win rate. But then it is hardly your own merit.

So I don't think this talk of "consolation prize" applies to the achievement OP is discussing. It's not like the current achievement relies much on the player's skills and merits anyway.
Individual players can make substantial contributions to the game. You can't carry a game all by yourself, but four players coordinating can absolutely tip the scales in a substantial way.

SMN isn't as good as you believe it to be, by the way. They have basically nothing to contribute to fights between Bahamut summons, and you can easily just guard through Bahamut anyhow.
