Playing as a team isn't cowardice. Team tactics will always have a higher chance of winning no matter the game. It's the fact that Bungie took away our team wipe capabilities. They buffed the skill floor and nerfed the skill ceiling. They took away the emphasis on twitch reflexes and multiple ways to get kills and replaced them in favor of a high time to kill teamshot meta. As a mainly solo player, I have about a 50% win rate in over 400 games. But when I run with my friends, my win rate skyrockets to around 80% or 90%. It's just the way this game was designed. It rewards team play to the highest degree. You either have to play the way the game was designed or you suffer some losses.

Somebody once told me “the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now, wait till you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire, how about yours? That's the way I like it and I never get bored Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid All that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go (go!) You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold”

But its almost euphoric when 4 randos completely shit on a 4 man team.

who is the real loser here? the people who like to play with their friends or someone that got smacked in crucible so bad they come to the forums to whine?

At the end they serve t bag and dance around your ghost. One of your random teammate msg you," you are the worst player." I have encountered this few times.

Wait, so 4-stacks are cowards by default? Maybe they like to play together and prefer the game modes in Quickplay? You must have really gotten shit on to come onto the forums to call people cowards for playing Destiny the way it is intended. I think your anger is misguided. It's all on Bungie for not creating a separate playlist for solo queuers. Bitching about people playing the game the way they want to because they killed your ass kind of makes you the loser here.
