[Avengers: Infinity War] What reasons did the Avengers have for not using the Infinity Stones they had in their possession (Time and Mind) against Thanos?

Dr. Strange DID use the Time Stone to look into the future with 14 million different outcomes. He saw the one victory and put them on that path.

Vision had the mind stone and it's attached to his head. No one can just pluck it out and use it whenever they want. When Thanos takes it out, he dies. They were working on removing it in Wakanda, but that takes time and someone very smart.

Even if they did get the mind stone out, no one would be capable of wielding it. It would likely be the other way around. The stone would control the person trying to use it, and either warp their mind or just kill them. Vision was made with the Mind Stone and he even stated he never fully understood it. The only thing he could really do with it was shoot beams out. The Mind Stone is capable of a lot more than that.

Dr. Strange had to practice for years and research to be able to use the Time Stone on the level he does. Even then, he's still not mastered it.

Thanos is on another level when it comes to strength, knowledge, and will power. He gets the Stones and immediately knows how to use them in a very high capacity. None of the Avengers could pick up a Stone and use them like he did.
