This aspect of Battlegrounds is straight up unfair!

I don’t know what is the deciding factor in this scenario but having to draft first and also place defender first is just unfair bs. Everyone knows having to draft first gives edge to your opponent because if you picked a defender then they can choose a counter in their next pick and if you pick an attacker then they can pick a defender that’s bad for the attacker you picked first. Not only that, if you draft first that means the opponent gets to draft last which means they can pick a defender that you have no counter for at all.
Well then since your opponent gets a slight edge in the draft then you should get an edge in the defender placement right? Well for some reason the game decides to dog pile on you by making you place defender first which not might have that great of a significance in the first two rounds, but in the third round it’s a massive advantage to your opponent.
It’s not like you will always get the short end of the stick, sometimes your opponent has to face this predicament while you get the edge. But does it have to be this way? The fix is simple: if you draft first then you shouldn’t have to place defender first. Similarly if you draft last then you have to place the defender first. Depending on the scenario one might be more beneficial to you than the other but at least you don’t get kicked in the nuts both times.
Now there might be some bigger picture I am failing to see here, some kind of matchmaking balancing taking place that I’m not aware of. But speaking from my personal experience of multiple bgs season this aspect of the game mode has bugged me a lot and I hope anyone who have experienced these things will be able to relate.

OP, if you have first pick, draft an attacker.
@obsidiman, if you are open to suggestions, then I suggest you to stay away from things that cause you mental frustration.
Interesting how I'm tilted and frustrated, but you, @FeydRautha, were the one to post a complaint. So, then, you're not frustrated by BGs and you're fine with how the current system works?
I'm only here because your title was so perfectly click bait worded that I had to check it out. It's tough to know which posts to stay away from if I'm not allowed to read the posts contained within it. Any advice/suggestions navigating this (or any) forum would be appreciated.
It’s okay little man, there’s an MCOC article just for you @FeydRautha
