Actually ^^; the "defender" part is just one of the theory arose during the discussion and test so far is inconclusive.
The main part i'm concerning with is Player A/B consistent advantage over the other player. In avatar mode, in my exp, that consistency is more clear. I played 1v1 with the same player a lot and knew what retainer he used.
True, both side will be subject to the bug. However, once a player found that he/she has consistent advantage, he/she can take light cav for example and simply wear down GG or other superior cav. Even if my observation for player A/B consistency is invalid and it being random, dealing with such bug is indeed frustrating as player can't rely on expensive units. Since the total amount spent is fix, it ruin the strategy part of the game.
Every time a new patch comes out, that's one of the first thing we tested :P (along with the game list filter bug)
Edit: The link you gave me is in May, and so far I haven't seen any official statement from CA design team concerning it...am I missing it?
