The problem isn’t that your team got boxed so you can’t get them.
If you aren’t getting revives it’s because your abandoning your team and not fighting to win with them. If you did, you would win some of those scraps and then be clear to bring back the dead.
It sounds like I’m being critical I know but that’s actually how you win in Kings Canyon, abandon your team. But you should be able to get revives on Worlds Edge which is far more strategic.
Here was the problem with "Get X Knockdowns in Y Location", it relied too heavily on RNG (in this case, factors outside of your control).
You needed:
A. To be in a good spot to drop into Y location.
B. For the ring to close around Y location to get knockdowns.
C. For enemies to drop to Y location.
D. For enemies to rotate into Y location.
E. For Y location to be a good spot to drop compared to nearby locations.
5 factors beyond your control, all of which will inhibit your progress GREATLY (oh yes devs, I totally wanted to spent 23 games trying to get knockdowns in Drill Site only to have 3 more of the same objective to complete) and worst of all required you to do the same objective over and over again on a per weekly basis.
Now with the new "Respawn teammates X times", we're stuck with:
A. Having respawn beacons still available.
B. Said beacons are in good positions inside / near the ring.
C. Having time to get your friendlies banners.
D. Not dying while getting said banners / respawning your teammate.
E. HAVING TEAMMATES TO RESPAWN. (AKA Leavers / Rage Quitters / Banners timing out / etc. etc.)
So it's still a really clunky and obtuse objective, that as you said, prioritizes the goal rather than playing the game. The difference between an objective like that vs. getting 20 knocks with a sniper rifle, is that the only RNG needed to accomplish the objective is finding the sniper rifle.
