If all the commanders and experienced players are in a similar boat to me, it isn't worth the investment into Frontlines anymore. It's not fun, there are other games out there that do PvP better, so nobody is doing Frontlines who either isn't a masochist, or still has FoMo/Achievement grinds to do.

I think a lot of "Bad Commanding" is coming from DRK no longer being the juggernaut it was, and premades no longer being capable of carrying the team as much as they did in the past. Now it is a team wide effort, and with melee being instantly destroyed in every engagement it's hard to convince people to push.
