When playing Strongholds (or any objective based for that matter) i think the first place should go to the one with most objective point, not kills. I just played a match and i go last because i was focusing on the objective. I got 7 kills and 2 deaths, with 6 captures and 10 defends. But i came last because i did not have most kills.
I have to agree. It is frustrating to see someone with 10 kills 4 deaths 1 capture come ahead of me, with 5 kills 5 deaths 12 captures.
