I personally do not enjoy Rift as a game mode by itself, let alone Iron Banner(IB) Rift. My reasoning for this is the need for a six man Fireteam. Though I have won some matches going in solo, it feels (though its not) as though I have no chance and I will always lose. I've found that in Rift if you have a six man team and the other team doesn't ( or consists of smaller Fireteams) that you will almost always win. As Bungie is likely going to continue with Rift as a playlist for IB I would like to propose a compromise. My compromise is to have two Iron Banner Rift options for guardians to choose. The two options being:
1.Iron Banner Rift
2. Iron Banner Freelance Rift
The latter of these (IB Freelance Rift) simply being that you must enter the game mode in a Fireteam of one/by yourself. There is obviously a portion of the Destiny Community that enjoys this playlist so eliminating IB Rift is not something that is likely to happen. Hopefully with this compromise the burden of the road to rank five will be reduced drastically.
p.s. If you read this entire thing, thanks for your time.

Rift is actually enjoyable the only time it is not enjoyable is when people don't work together as a team or play the objective. Bungie won't change ib just cause 3 out of ten people won't like playing and working together as a team if the rewards were placement based and not rng people would play and get stuck in more than just sit back and do nothing. I for one like rift has nothing to do with kd I just like objective gameplay.
