Lockdown is the worst LTM for solo players so far
Randoms either have absolutely no idea how to play the objective in this LTM, or they completely ignore it and play the mode like it's TDM.
In some matches I have two minutes of capture time, while my randoms sum up perhaps 10 seconds combined. I have to type GET IN MY ZONE while I'm sitting uncontested in Zone B, but my randoms spawn beside me and rather try to rush Zone A where the action is.
And honestly I can't even blame them, because playing the objective means sitting on a tiny spot the size of a jumppad, often completely in the open without any natural cover. For a movement shooter with a heavy emphasis on positioning, that's pretty antithetic.
Getting kills is of course way more fun, but a normal kill counts just for one percent of the final score. You get the same number of points if you sit on the zone for three seconds.
If you only go for kills, you don't help your team at all. If you kill the attacking teams while the leading team holds the zone, then you are even an actual handicap and help us lose. The whole team sitting together in the zone get 5 points every second, the same amount as one single kill.
So it's impossible to win if your teammates are not in the same boat. That's the big difference to all other mixtape modes, where you will always help your team as long as you kill enemy players.
