Why? This makes it even easier for cities like Khandava to get objectives back. Defacing will take them a couple minutes and then getting the objective will only take 4 or 5, depending on the cities involved.
It will currently take significantly longer for Antioch to deface (or capture any objective for that matter).
1 - Circle X uses City A as a dumpsite for objectives, letting City B serve as a raid starter with faster capture times. If downtrodden cities do get their objectives back, having a fast cap available for the leading circle could make it kind of moot.
2 - City A lost all of its objectives to B, then raids C instead to hit an easier target with improved cap timing. Having more overall should hinder, but there should be more benefit to raiders for recapping than just hitting a stuffed and juicy target.

It also sounds like it doesn't "count" as an objective, per se (so you can do this, plus another objective in the same raid, for example).
