Here's a post from Alex last month which shows that reducing FTA is a low priority:

So the community can more intelligently talk about the first turn advantage, can we get some data? Specifically:

1. Are you able to look at the % of time player 1 wins the game across all League games?

In beta yes, right now in production no. But our analysis tools need to be re-worked as the scale of data is huge and none of our current tools work. I'm really hoping to get back to this, but with more pressing issues of crashes, non-expiring games, and league matches not counting, it's at the bottom of the list right now.

However, the patch to address these issues has already been released which means that FTA could now be a high priority even though it wasn't at the time.

As for your fix, I believe someone mentioned it before and I agree with it now as I did then. Give P2 extra wits.
