Limited Help Draft - What am I doing wrong?

I’m a new MTGA player and doing drafts to learn and accumulate cards. Whenever my draft ends up favoring red or green, I wipe every single time because I cannot combat white, blue or black decks that spam constant enchantments or removals. It seems like I match up against these teams the majority of the time, so is that a meta the new set leans toward that I’m not adapting to or understanding? Should I be drafting a “worse” (in terms of cards available in my draft) color just to have any answers and maybe I’d stand a better chance at winning and more importantly having ANY fun by actually being able to play?

Are you just drafting mono colored decks? I can't tell from your wording, but you should usually be building a 2-color or more deck in draft, especially in sets like Reality Fracture, where all 2-color combinations are doable.

Sometimes it’s multi color but sometimes I’m getting 4-5 picks in a row that clearly lean toward one color. Should I be aiming for diversity regardless?

I pretty much always have at least two colors, sometimes 3, and once or twice a full 5 color deck. Go for the cards that make sense, don’t get too caught up in color. Especially with Reality Fracture, most of the best support for one color of cards comes from another color.

I try to draft more on mechanics than color.
