I had someone drop from my team before the game began, it's really hard to do anything when you're missing a teammate or two. My friend and I ended up 2v4 and despite sending the entire team negative on kads in this situation and both averaging at around 5.2ish at the end, there was no chance of winning simply because we didn't have the teammates to capture zones. If you made it like countdown or survival where there's some punishment for death then we'd have won easily. It will be a good addition to the frustration simulator that destiny 2 has become imo unless you're running with a full team (worse than countdown and survival in this respect).
