How to win when not the kill target?
Heya! I'm trying to climb on my devoker, However, I've dropped from 1900 to 1500 in the past few days to simply just not being the kill target. I'm not entirety sure what I'm supposed to do when my other dps is getting focused hard and instantly dying.
I try my best to peel for them using my knockback and knockup, I rescue them out of bad situations, and even throw timestop on them when healer is in CC. I try my best to stay between the enemy dps and enemy healer, putting pressure on the healer so they are afraid to walk and heal. I throw my sleep out whenever enemy dps or healer are off DR, trying to buy some momentum. Yet, it seems that as much as I have great pad damage on devoker, it's just never enough to secure kills. My team mate dps is often dying within the first 2 minutes of the round, before my dragon rage can comeback up to secure another 'go'. I feel like I am slamming my head against a wall here trying to play 'optimally'
However, games when I am the kill target I easily go 5-1 or 6-0 due to being able to control the fight. There must be something fundamentally wrong I am doing to constantly lose every game where I am not the kill target. I would love to know where I need to improve
