If you're running PUGs - just don't queue for another 5 rounds if you can't handle it solo - period.

 

This is the simplest and easiest solution to the problem and look, DE didn't have to do anything!

 

The problem with the "always be able to solo 5 rounds" theory of thought is the way they handle host migrations can screw you anyway.  I could be well-poised to handle another 5 rounds, and have the objective destroyed when I finally load back in.

In most similar games once all players decided to stay timer instantly stops and game continues. But here it keeps going. There's no reason for it, what it adds besides enabling trolls?

The fix is simple, when all people who are in the game pick the same option, the game starts or quits, there's no need to wait for a countdown.

Exactly, it's the easiest way to solve the troll problem, I hope DE will manage it someday

There is another solution, DE could add new objective after you fail defending current objective.

Like "Pick up the <lifeless frame/machine's fragments/etc> and run to extraction".

 

And after reaching extraction you'll get your reward up to the last 10 waves' reward.

Ex : fail at wave 43 -> Extract -> get wave 5 to 30 rewards.
