Thor, Surfer, Superman and Cable are the only ones who could create potential problems for him, and that is being generous to them. Majority of the rest of them get one-shotted with relative ease.
It's a non fight really. Thanos was trying to impress death before when he was using the gem. If he felt like ending it quickly he turns them all to glass or blocks.
It looked like Master rocked him pretty good, but I think it's pretty obvious that it was just for show. Thanos had his usual grin on as soon as Masterson was turned to glass. He was also staggered by spiderman, had his swiveled by Captain America, knocked back a bit by Cyclops, grounded and pounded by Hulk, etc. It was a big show for his mistress death. And when he made it painfully clear to the heroes that they had no chance, he ended things quick. Nova turned into blocks, Quasar's quantum bands blown up along with his hands, etc. He was never in danger.
Him depowering himself sufficiently(by only relying on the PG and cutting off all his sensory input) in order to allow them a 0.01% chance was the only part that could be considered a show for "impressing" Death. From what I recall, his durability was actually low enough for all that stuff to happen in that instance.
Not saying that it gives the team any chance here, just that those 4 heralds I mentioned before are the only ones who have a prayer of even causing him any real damage.
Him cutting himself off from the rest of the IG's power still wouldn't be enough to merit any of the damage done though except for maybe Thor and Wolverine. Not to mention he had another amp stacked onto his power from Mistress death. It's just likely that he was being dramatic to me /shrug
