I can see where that would be a problem. My 1 and 2 guys usually have enough time to kill the 2 acolytes that spawn in on both sides before they head center and by that time runner has grabbed relic and 3 knight is spawning in and is killed, then 3rd platform guy runs into the middle and has his tom reloaded to kill the remaining 4 acolytes. Titans then kill the remaining knight while every one else focuses on vessel and oryx. To each their own. Find a method that works and go with it I always say. Both ways work well.
