They have no intent whatsoever on trying to take the objective. They want you to take it so they can shoot the hell out of you...then swoop in on turn 4 to contest.

Another way to use objectives to your advantage is to put them near opponents placed objective, and as close to side the table edge as you can, trick the enemy into piling in and getting outflanked
