I honestly really love the new strike mechanics, but I am also not trying to get specific medals when I do them. They just seem to happen with play. My first strike was so much fun. We were working together, killing everything in sight, popping supers like crazy, rezzing each other. Maybe I just had a good random team, but I found it to be one of the best strike experiences I've ever had. Even with just normal playing, we got the gold medal completion at the halfway point.
I know the rainbow medal thing is a hard one to get if you're not understanding how it works, but it's really not so bad and can be accomplished through normal strike play. I watch people play on twitch when I am doing chores and what not, and I saw someone play through strikes without any different play style (no staying in a patrol zone and cheesing it, etc) and they were able to get them pretty easily. You just get one, say your primary, then you switch to your next weapon. You don't have to do them quickly right after the other, there can be time between them, but you just have to make sure you do them 1-2-3. There was a posting in the Destiny subreddit about it being not as time sensitive as people thought.
I tend to, if I am trying to cheese something that I know I can't do with another person, or don't want them to have to suffer through, play a nightfall by myself. For instance, when I was trying to get the fusion rifle kills for the Pocket Infinity exotic quest, I just loaded into the weekly nightfall by myself to grind the kills. I don't want to hold someone back or whatever to do something like that. The people trying to do rainbow medals in a patrol zone dragging people along with them is bunk. They could just load into a nightfall and grind them there and not have to ruin play time for anyone else.
But everyone I have had the luck of playing with has been very active and playing the strike as it should be played. I've been having a great time. The only solution would be playing with friends of a like mind or using a team up site/forum or something.
