1) Idk what kind of team comps you have in your tier, but mine is non-existence. I do not have sidenoders, within 5 seconds of trading with someone I determine if I can win or not, if not I leave and decap. If team fight is going south, I leave and decap, no point in staying a losing fight.
2) I do not duel people, I fully understand that thief is a +1 class so I should just +1 and decap when it is optimal.
3) I do not know who the worst player on the team is, is there a score board I can check that will tell me? In my matches barely anyone "target" a player. However, on the off chance they do it's the support Druid, Tempest, Scourge, or HB. Reason why I'm asking if I should be trying to focus this tanky person.
4) Same as 3, barely people "target".
5) #1 explains what I do.
6) I know all the stolen skills, I posted I steal mainly from Warriors/Necros to disrupt team fights with AoE fear or blinds.
Thank you for the tips, but I assure you I do everything you listed already. While I do the things above, maybe it's my skill usage that's holding me back like knowing what skills to use in what scenario /shrug. There are many games where I decap so often they just let someone sit on home thus leaving me to have to team fight only. It's why I'm asking if there is a specfic target I should be on the lookout for in a team fight. While I would love to focus the "targeted" player there just isn't a lot of shot callers in my matches.
