The first game I played in a kitfox, after mass amounts of games in heavies and assaults, I didn't even get shot at during any of the assaults and racked up a damage score over 500, it is really noticable jumping from bullet magnet meta mechs into random wildcard mechs like that.
That's not to say they I wouldn't have gotten shot at alone and the like, but I just ran about near my assaults the whole game and was literally ignored by the enemy team, that perception of priority targets can really make a difference there to how your game might play out.
That's also not to say it was the case with you, it was just a noticeable change for a guy generally running bullet magnet builds.
On the other end of the spectrum I personally have changed target focus mid fight to alpha an urbie or whatnot into the dust, so I wouldn't assert that it is some sort of key to immortality.
It was indeed the case with me. Trying to make the enemy not pointing their guns at you is important for Lights.
I think keeping the enemy Lights in tab is also important for friendly Lights because of the potential mayhem they can do if left alone (like in this case).
