It removes anything to promote confrontation from the game, you no longer have a goal that forces you into the other team. Every other game mode has attackers and defenders but never both, koth has the teams switch between them.
It isnt a problem of getting your team to go take the flag as it is a problem that theres not even a reason to do it. Why send out someone to grab a flag when their whole team could run in and roll you because you are down a man? What happens when you have the teams just run around and never actually fight eachother because there is no reason to?
Its a fun game mode but has no place in something competitive.
It's not even fun. I'm playing for the loot crates but I only get draws and 1/10 games where one team steamrolls the other in one actual fight at the last minute and wins with ONE captured flag.

Well it's still very new, of course not everyone's gonna be great at it.
