There's a hypothetical black dragon with 10 initiative and 10 speed. And there's a red one with nines. The opponent put a ring on the red one that gives +1 initiative. Both the black and red dragons have 10 initiative. But the black one still flies further. Logically, shouldn't it move first?
No. Why should it move first just because it has more speed? Maybe the red one should move first because it's red or because it has heartburn? Initiative should be determined by a random roll, not by other parameters. Or are you not familiar with logic?
You're just looking at the mechanics through the lens of your hatred for Overlord. If Overlord had its own initiative queue, you'd criticize it too, just like the hardcore fans of Heroes III did with a certain patch.
Leave the hatred out of it. I don't like a lot of things, but there's no hatred. And it's better not to bring up "what if" scenarios, because we'll never know, but you can come up with anything. Get a grip and stop deflecting.
Of course, you could tie initiative to a random number instead of the speed stat... but then luck would start to play a role, and that's even less esports-friendly.
Randomness in initiative will give everyone an equal chance. That's much more esports-friendly than always being at a disadvantage.
