Teammates
I know this game for people that main survivor is to team up and make sure everyone makes it out alive or at the least one person makes it out. I’m usually quite happy as long as one person does cause all that hard work didn’t go to waste, but lately I’ve been getting teammates that are more than willing to screw me over and make sure they win or just down right working with the killer, which to be honest is more than irritating. I was just wondering if anyone else was having similar problems with this and if there was any way to combat it?

Hmmmmm......I think it's one of those things where it would bother me if the person who did that to me had not helped with gens and was one of those buttholes crouching and walking around everywhere. Hiding from the killer, not doing crap. But if the person who did it was actually helping to make progress then it's like "Ah, I see you. I see what chu doin" and I'll struggle on the hook to give them time to find the hatch rather than just not struggle if it were a useless teammate. But regardless of what kind of teammate they are, if someone I suspect is a meanie busts a skillcheck on me, I'm following them anywhere they go and doing loud vaults (or palette drops if we are the last 2) anywhere I can till we're found and the killer takes who they take
Sandbagging your team to ensure your own survival is not "Working with the killer"
Working with the killer is where you know the killer and he allows you to farm points or you ghost out your team mates to him which again requires you to know the killer.
Survivors don't have to work together, it's not a requirement. Survivors may chose to work together and should most of the time if their goal is to win, but there are also situations where screwing other players up raises your own chances of winning. Apart from that, if you're being screwed by your teammates - play smart. If they bodyblocked you or sandbagged you on purpose - don't save them/farm them. Get gens done while they're being chased. Stay immersed so the killer doesn't see you. DBD isn't a team game. It can be played like one, but it's not one. Figure out yourself what's best for your own survival and act accordingly.
I've been in a few games where the survivor is clearly working with the killer, using bond to point out teammates, but I can count those on one hand and it hasn't happened in a long time. I'm an altruistic survivor, not overly so as I don't think its smart to hookrush, but a more common problem for me than sandbagging-hasn't happened yet-- is dying on first hook because a survivor rather camp hatch. I don't care about dying, I mean it's nicer to make it out, but I just can't see how surviving is so important to someone that they would sacrifice everyone else to do it. Sometimes killers think they are being dodged in lobby when actually survivors are dodging other survivors. If you play like a scumbag just be sure to keep changing you gamertag. Scumbags forget, but the one wronged never does.
