Team defaults for defense

So I've always wondered. For pvp, I use a team and I figured that team is my defense default. Is this true for every match that someone fights my team?Also, if I play pve, does my pvp team change? How about the simulator, does that change the featured characters pvp defense?

    The last team you play a match with is your defensive team, until you play another match in that event. Your defensive team is specific to the event you're playing. So, if you're playing a Season PvP, Season Simulator, and a Lightning Round, each with a different team, your defensive team will differ across all those events. Your PvE team usage doesn't affect your PvP defensive team.

    The defensive team an opponent sees is either

    1) The last team you used when you appeared in his queue
    2) The team you used to defeat him (retaliations)

    So for example of #1, someone could queue you at 5pm, and you could play matches with other teams from 5pm-7pm, but when that opponent hits you, he's playing your 5pm team.

    Minor clarification - it is the last team that you won a match with in that PVP event is your defensive team for the people who see you in queue.

    Assuming your last game was a win, they are the same as the last one you played with but that's not always the case.
