When should I be teamfighting/applying pressure?

Recently I have developed a playstyle of ignoring my team and applying constant pressure around the map. This gets me very far ahead compared to the entire enemy team; in some cases I will be lvl 18 1 item off full build and the enemy team will average lvl 13 and 2/3 items. However, there is a massive problem when my team relentlessly feeds in useless teamfights over no objectives. I do not want to teamfight much but it is clearly necessary when I get these teammates. No one is gaining very much xp or gold fom it which is why I stay away from teamfights for the most part. When is it appropriate to teamfight and when to apply pressure? I play mainly Yas on main acc.

It's just a matter of paying attention to the map and deciding that when it happens. Applying pressure helps, but if it means getting pressured by the whole enemy team with your own being powerless to stop them, then no matter what, that entire team will do more damage to your towers than you to theirs.

Just gotta think smart before you make that choice.

At least 80% of the time... you move around the map and apply pressure without dying (constantly watching Minimap for MIAs) while IGNORING your team. Most of the time, this will do a lot more because your team mates tend to get caught/start random fiesta fights.

Only to join to contest objectives, or to defend a tower (with equal numbers)... or as a coordinated group to rapidly take an objective. You should never stay "grouped" for an extended period; it is most optimal to stay Alone for most of the game... quickly grouping and then separating "when the job is done."

If your team does anything retarded at all (which is quite often)... you just keep AFK farming/pushing. If they make enough mistakes that it gets to a Tier 3 tower defense scenario... then you are forced to group but by then its usually GG.
