Daredevils are the most slippery, do not chase them unless you're sure they are out of both cooldowns and initiative. Just throw something at them the moment they go for the kill on one of your teammates, so they get scared and disengage. Do not waste cooldowns on them otherwise.

Deadeyes are less mobile but actually deal damage, so in general do not let them freecast, focus them whenever they are attacking. Even if its just some fleeting weakness or blind, it might turn a 10K deaths judgement into a wet fart.

Core thieves are mostly condi, dealing with them is easy on some builds, impossible on others. If you run a build that cannot hard-clear itself multiple times of conditions, stick to your team, and bring projectile hate.

Personally, i'd say better to let thief survive to live another day as he is so mobile he creates a distractaion for capping other points.

You cant. The thief will always run away before they lose the 1v1. Which since they lose pretty much all 1v1s, just means they run away a lot. Best you can do is just make them run away and waste their time.

U have a reveal which stops a teef from re stealthing unless its DE giving u a huge advantage as a prev cuz without stealth access prev of equal skill will destroy the thief. If its DE use line of sight and try and reach a teammate cuz if its appearing to attack u ur teammate can focus it or vice versa. Thing with DE their destructive if left free shooting but are one of if not the easiest to put in downstate if caught and focused, a breeze is almost enough to down most lol which is why I think DE isn't really played often in high lv games cuz when a player gets used to fighting them their pretty easy to stomp.
