Is leaving teammates behind okay?

AnthonyC2014

So I play survivor, and I have always had a problem with one thing I do near the endgame.
Leaving my teammates to die. If I feel like I have no other option, I will leave my teammates behind if they have been downed and are on a hook. My teammates have told me "Just let him kill you and save me." or things like that.
Is this okay if there is no other option that involves both of us escaping? For the most part, I have to look after #1...

The more of a newbie you are, the more likely you are to just leave. 

"I don't care about the primary aspect of the Survivor role, so those who do are noobs."

Actually he used "newbie" not "noobie" both have a different definition. The meaning of "newbie" is someone new to the game/situation at hand. I have to agree that new players are more likely to feel like leaving rather than saving someone, I just don't believe its the only reason why people make the choice.

Last I checked (to be fair, that was a very long time ago), they're simply alternate spellings of the same word and with the same meaning.

pretty sure noob is just a slang for new person and newb was also a slang and because people love slang we accepted both of them and now those to lazy to type newb now just double tap o for a simpler spelling noob mostly just comes down to lazyness

Same here, but then again, I am quite old, in Internet terms.

same though i hate all these new phrases ive said oof for a long time now that its a meme people think i just jumped on the bandwagon and its really annoying also just using the term jumped on the bandwagon reveals im not from this era

Yeah considering I grew up in an age of dial up internet and Nintendo Power magazines I too find it difficult to keep up with internet "slang".

I don't find it difficult, merely irrelevant. You can usually figure out what people mean by context and tone. Furthermore, Internet communication using Internet slang usually boils down to insults anyway.

Ok but guys as entertaining as this is you can get in trouble and get the discussion closed for derailing so... let's go back to talking about leaving teammates behind in DbD?

By derailing the conversation I think we left our forum teammate behind. So I guess we sort of got an answer.

Poweas

Honestly if I'm on hook, I will let myself go if I'm getting camped so my teammates wont risk it. If I'm in a SWF I'll sacrifice myself, if I've had a good game and my teammate has been cucked all game/ tunnel I'll sacrifice myself. If they've pipped I'll leave and idgaf if they salt me up. Most the time I leave. I'm that one survivor who keeps an eye on things because everyone in my team are careless. I also lost a lot of my chasing skills lol so rip. I just stealth and try to help my teammates.
