The tough balance is sometimes it's best to wait rather than rush. The key is being intentional about it though

That's an important point right there. If the plan is to stay back and wait, you still need to do so aggressively and deliberately. By which I mean, "you cover that exact lane, I'll cover this approach, if they swing to the left we rotate here and..." etc. Because none of us knew the map at all on Monday, we were far too reactionary to really stand a chance against the better teams. We had no idea where they would be coming from at any given time.

-- you want to be the hunter, not the hunted. If you're in the hunted mentality, you're going to do stupid stuff that seems defensive but is just really what the hunter wants. I'm about 40/60 this now probably. Much less than I used to, but I let reactionary thinking defeat me more often than actively controlling the situation, regardless of who has the advantage.

I wish I'd recorded a few of my run-around revives on Monday, because they were great examples of what you're talking about here. Several times I found myself outnumbered 3 to 1, but I still managed to control the situation well enough to lead them away from guarding the orbs and make it back for quick revives. Some of my finer moments :)
