DBZ, Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece often have one on one fights while the rest of the team is doing something else or just watching while worried or in awe. RWBY as a show, at least when Oum was around showed some good teamwork. And in Season 4 we did see some good teamwork with the Blake and Sun team up and when RJNR fought the Giest. And even though they were demolished by Tyrian they seemed to try to work together. But the problem is they need proper team attacks to really sell it.

Ruby reason does need to to stop relying on weapons so much yes. Yang, Qrow, Tai and likely Blake could teach her well. But on the tactical side of Ruby, I have to disagree. I feel like she's thinking in all the fights she's in. That's how she outsmarted Neo. The only characters not thinking in a fight is someone as strong as the Hulk.

Maybe the team RWBY being weak on their own is the reason they split them up for season 4?
