Draft and pick
pre-gameLook at who stands against you: a dangerous lane like 
Disruptor + 
Ursa, or a free lane like 
Oracle + 
Phantom Lancer? Decide before the creeps: do you play aggressive for the kill or passive for farm. Think about how you can counter-pick their carry: 
Axe against Phantom Lancer, 
Beastmaster or 
Enigma against Ursa.

You took a hero into a draft it does not fit — you are playing with a weight on your back.
Work out your job in this draft and keep the balance between farming and fighting: if you are farming a timing item, ignore the pointless fights and the tier 1 tower defence, and do not give in to your team when the fight is lost before it starts.
You went into a pointless fight because the team pushed you into it — you lost the timing of your key item, when you could have farmed 1–2 more minutes and taken that fight with your power spike.
