I tried the new PVP mode (Destiny)

It makes me really sad you're coming to that conclusion! I end up feeling the way you do at times during Gambit, so I've started choosing roles that will still help, even if I'm not shining on the leaderboard:

-Be a Banker escort: Run behind one of your team's designated bankers and pick up extra motes they can't carry, but more importantly provide AOE damage on mobs, or cover fire against snipers/invaders.

-Manage the bank: post up near the bank (usually up high, not in the immediate vicinity) and be the first to clear any blockers the other team sends over. Also provide a sort of overwatch to spot invaders.

-Pave the way: Kill all the mobs, snag none of the motes. Let your bankers do that. Works well up close as a titan with a shotgun or AR, swords end up collecting motes. Momentum is the key. Can also be done reasonably well at range with Polaris Lance and a rocket launcher with Cluster Bomb.
