How it's used
Beyond sports, this is frequently used in gaming culture to describe someone you are playing alongside. It carries a sense of camaraderie, especially when referring to someone who is reliable or helpful during a task. When someone is being unhelpful or hindering the team, people often sarcastically call them a 豬隊友.
