The full version of the quick answer.
Weaken enemies and help your team win the next exchange. Use Threadsap to strengthen your shooting, and choose whether your team needs protection, silence, or extra damage from your brew.
Play near your team’s close-range fighters, using cover to get a useful Threadsap angle. You need enemies within reach, but should not be the easiest target for several ranged guns. Keep a nearby ally and a route out when preparing a longer attack.
Reposition towards allies with your movement and use a helpful brew effect. Avoid repeating bench melee attacks into a waiting parry, or trying to finish a long channel while everyone shoots you.

Timings are approximate. When teams start grouping and pushing objectives, use the next phase’s advice.
Collect souls from cover and land Threadsap before a shooting exchange. Practise choosing a useful brew instead of casting without checking its effect.
Travel near allies and prepare the brew your next fight needs. Use empowered shooting without walking beyond the team’s protection.
Look for a supported Feed The Birds opportunity. Keep nearby interrupters in view and change position if enemies can freely shoot you.
Stay near allies and provide useful brew effects instead of diving to force damage.
Granny Long Legs changes your melee attacks; those attacks can be parried, so avoid repeating them blindly.
Heroes that change how you play Baba. Situational adjustments, not rankings.
Pocket needs a close spell-damage opening and defensive tools to leave.
Look for a safe Threadsap hit before trading; prepare silence for the approach rather than following the escape alone.
Nearby group control threatens a long Feed The Birds commitment.
Keep track of Dynamo and channel only from a position where he cannot freely approach you.
Long firing angles punish stepping forward for your setup.
Use cover to land Threadsap, then take a short shooting exchange instead of standing exposed beneath her angle.
