General question

Lately I have seen teams ignore token carriers to camp random ammo depots and cross roads. We just had a game where we challenged the carriers at healing water. The team ran out the opposite side and i figured alright ill just go to the left and grab ammo real quick. Get domed which is on me for sure. They loot my body and burn me immediately. Thus started the most unnecessary stalemate because they wouldn't push my friend. Eventually my friend got bored pushed and died after taking one of them out. We inspect the rest of the lobby to see two other teams of two camping random spots. The token carriers got to extract scott free. Like am i missing some kind of new 6 star meta here?
