Nope. They might whine a little, but they functionally get to roll one level with advantage and a later level with disadvantage, so it's fair.That's wild. Do you get a lot of complaints when the subsequent rolls go south? I've seen players get really salty when it comes to hit points...
Except that the extra HP at the lower level represent a larger proportion of the whole, so are more important for survivability. So on average it's still to the player's advantage, even if it feels a little painful when (if, as this is assuming they survive long enough to level) the bargain comes due.
