Let's just be clear here, there are 2 situations where underdog mode can be unfair for (1) players with ranks in general and (2) players with high amount of ranks.

(1) The fact that underdog mode gives stats based on your rank range, for instance, if you are rank 29, and your opponent's rank is 31, you still get the UM I even though the rank difference is 2 ranks. But personally
I think UM I doesn't affect the battle directly, unless if you want to make yourself feel comfortable after you lose and blame it on that thing.

(2) Underdog mode being too overpowered, when a player ranked 55 - 59 faces a player ranked 70 +, basically because energy efficiency and field medic mastery underperforms against "classic" rank slots.
Let's be clear here, I might somewhat agree with anyone who says who here, but first of all, let's crack this down:
- The rank range 55 - 59 is a small rank range, basically you are talking about 1 if not 0.5% of ED players.
- Yet, we aren't talking about all builds within this rank range. Why? Because simply any build beside 5 focus doesn't fully get use of all ranks slots. E.g, strenght builds, they mainly get use of strenght/
defense/resistance rank slots, so here the Underdog mode is a legit thing, but when we talk about 5 focus builds, these builds get benefits from all ranks slots, and I'm here talking about 5 focus BH builds.
- Energy efficiency and Health Medic Mastery aren't that bad, simply because they share a mutual thing with defense and resistance slots, which is working with all builds, and this is not the case for
Primary/Sidearm/Aux/Robot rank slots, since they do not work with all builds, for instance strenght builds do not benefit from Aux/Robot slots, and so on for support builds.

And remember we vs these 0.5% everytime becuz ''high ranked players will be matched with high ranked players too then with lower ranks)

tbh I love versusing rank 70-80 becuz I win them easily while rank 49-59 are the strong ranks and I hate versusing them currently my 750 hp build works the most against rank 70-80 players becuz I always start 1st and that was the reason my build was made for..

if I battle 100 times a day I fight at least 20 rank 49-59 how is that fair? and I'm a rank 70 lol so what about 80s? lmao
