I myself am constantly toggling the map whenever I'm not in combat, and even when I'm fighting people that don't need my full attention I'm checking the minimap to see where my team-mates are and if I need to be somewhere else.
I know not everyone plays LD every day like I do or cares that much about doing well, but it really seems like the people who do play well are the ones that can read the minimap well and know what to expect when they see a point being taken or a team-mate dying.
You can honestly read so much from just watching that little map. You can tell when someone's not paying attention because they'll be standing still next to me while our green dots are disappearing off the minimap right underneath us, and I'll know that in future this person wont be worth shielding because they'll just get my shield broken.
In case you're reading this and don't have map overlay set to a convenient key (mine's right next to my dash), do it now! It only takes a second to toggle it quickly and it helps so much!
I get distracted if I toggle the map, i just watch the one in the corner. Enough to make my next move.
