I honestly prefer attackers in general as there’s more freedom and I could get away with a few guys in the cap while Im cleaning the surrounding areas near the cap or at the cap itself. It’s much less worrying unless the enemy team has a strong defense which a well placed rally point is needed to flank. I don’t get much sweat matches as attackers but can have some really intense attacking moments and pushes like Hitler’s office in Berlin which can be a bloodbath for both sides especially when spamming grenades there.
Defenders on the other hand, some are really sweat matches because the stupid teammates don’t know how to hold a cap so most of the time, its all hands on deck with the constant worry of teammates camping at the back instead of defending the point especially with this serious flaw where the cap meter never goes down even when the defenders stop the capturing but a part of that circle is basically captured already. There are also times where the attackers just suck so bad that the match is basically over at the first cap which can be really boring especially when most of the attackers just camp behind the gray zone hoping to get some kills like it’s team deathmatch or something.
Some may say it depends on the map or something but I was trying to point out the preferences in general.
