Just leave unfair matches. If it's 30 to 8 in the first 10 seconds, leave.
I used to never condone leaving, and I still don't in properly balanced PvP games, but Destiny 2 cannot be balanced. Ever. Period. You either accept the ass whoopin or you leave the match.
30- 8 in the first 10 seconds is easily changeable and in no way unfair. you're garbage if you leave just because you lack spine to fight back in a fight.
Yep'
I'd rather have 3 quick tokens due to the mercy, than nothing too.
And a match which end with a 124 vs 125 score take to much time, if at the end of the day you lose, and still receive only 3 tokens. And I'm not even sure that the 2 extra tokens that you get when winning, compenses the extra time* you spent from what you would have with a simple mercy.
TLDR : Mercy is the best scenario (when quick) to farm token for both team. Winning a normal match is meh. Losing is the worst.
*assuming match making is relatively fast...
