Teamwork means winning?
A lot of time when I play multiplayer games I end up in random teams, I'm ok with that because I'm a random player usually playing solo in multiplayer. The trick is finding a team that wants to work together, which is a lot harder then you might think! Mostly because in a team of random people there is little to no communication, people often go for selfish gains (getting a good k/d or just trying to get a lot of kills) and hardly ever stick around eachother. It probably won't surprise you that these random teams often get wiped out pretty easily by a team that does work together.
So you shouldn't play with random people?
Well for some people it might be difficult to play then, because not everyone has a group of friends that loves to play the same games as you on the same console. So it might be difficult for some people to find a team, even if you look online and try to form a team there. It's probably better to just try your luck in random matches and try to be social and helpful. With some luck that makes people want to play games with you and you can form your team there. Of course this is easier said than done, because a lot of people don't feel like talking and some people just don't want to work with other people. So don't be surprised if you have to go through a lot of matches until you find some friendly people that actually want to work as a team with you.
In a team that works together you can't lose?
I don't think that's true, I've seen teams that work pretty well together and still lost. Sometimes the individual skill of certain players is so high that even people that work together as a team can't beat these people or sometimes teams make mistakes and are severely punished for those mistakes. What's important is that you don't play the blame game at those moments, ok maybe someone made a mistake but casting blame in the middle of a match isn't going to help you win! I think most people want to win and of course have a good time playing the game, so it's important that you keep things fun and relaxed without starting to shout at eachother. If you want to make a solo action then it might be a good idea to tell your team about that, in case you fuck up or things just don't go your way then they at least know what's going on. Communication is really the most important part about teamwork, probably for that reason alone you should already use your microphone. Even if you're not social or don't know what to say, talking goes faster than typing and sometimes that can really make the difference in a match!
But what if you hate teamwork?
Then you should really ask yourself if team deathmatch is your game mode. You'd probably do better in deathmatch or any other game mode that doesn't require you to work as a team. If you do decide to join a team then you should realize that winning will often depend on how well you work with the other people on your team, so if you don't communicate or help eachother then it's going to be that much harder to win the match. I prefer to do things on my own but even I sometimes do things for the team, for example play as the healer in a team when they need one or protect someone that is in trouble. It's easy to ignore your team and go for your own personal glory, but you alone can only do that much while as a team you could do that much more!
