Once you learn a thing or two about logical fallacies, you start realizing that this or that related to your debate skills is actually... well, a logical fallacy.
Your tendency of making your opponent look bad is an Ad Hominem fallacy, your habit of drawing conclusions that don't logically follow from the premises is the Non Sequitur fallacy, your eagerness to draw attention away from the topic at hand to something you have more control over is the Red Herring fallacy, your exaggerations are in Straw Man territory and extrapolations are in the realm of the Slippery Slope fallacy.
To become better and better at debates, you need to work on your reasoning skills and if you don't brush up on your knowledge when it comes to fallacies... that's just not going to happen.
Perhaps you'll only identify the Non Sequitur and Ad Hominem fallacies as being problematic in your case, maybe the Slippery Slopw + Red Herring combination is your thing or perhaps you're a Strat Man... man, see what I did there? :)
It ultimately doesn't matter all that much which logical fallacy or fallacies you're guilty of, the name of the game is doing something about it and accumulating more knowledge about fallacies is the name of the day. This video helps you do just that.
