My current honest opinion in 2V8
So far... I hate it
As a solo player it's a nightmare. And reading the comments on other posts about the game all those that seem to enjoy it are killers.
As a solo survivor player this game mode is chaos and not in a good fun way as others have described it. The overwhelming sense of helplessness I get when playing is indescribable. I understand the game and its concept however the fact that there is no sense of escaping makes the game as a survivor meaningless and makes me wonder why do I even try. You try and do gens, 4 people are downed and hooked and no one is rescuing. You rescue, and it seems the killers are actively hunting the hooks (whether they are or not you can not excuse the feeling one gets when trying to unhook or try and get unhooked and suddenly both killers are there, and you can't say well maybe there are only a few survivors left, no everyone is still alive and I was the only person on hook, so they just couldn't find 7 other people??)
The constant aura reveal to the killer with no counter to it is insane to me, when did a game of hunter v prey suddenly have the hunter heavily rely on Wall hacks to find people, no wonder the killers are having fun all the hard work of finding people is done for them.
Again I have to state this is my own opinion as a long time player and survivor player on this new game mode. Maybe my opinion will change after a few more games but these are my current thoughts and feelings.
I didn't count how many games I played but let's say I played 10. Out of the 10 games I only escaped once. The other 9, it felt as if I was being tunneled and targeted as I was quiet often finding myself being chased by both killers at the same time for nearly 2 out of 3 of my hooks and when not being double teamed it always seemed like the same killer was after me, most times the only time I would see the other killer is when they were both hunting me down. And again it wasn't due to a lack of survivors.
I played one game of killer to get a sense of their vision when playing and I can easily say, not once did I have to hunt hooks, not once did I have to tunnel, not once was I finding myself chasing after the same survivor again and again ("by accident") as there are so many survivors I didn't feel pressured to tunnel or to find those who I have already chased. I do have to say on the double team chase, yes i didnt find myself twice in my game chasing the same person as my killer counter part was as well but that was by pure chance as they were chasing them into me, so on this i can see how this can happen in a game but at the frequency i was experiencing it accident seems an unlikely circumstance.
maybe this game is more fun if you had a SWF stack of 4 who knows, but I know I won't be experiencing that anytime soon, so for the foreseeable future I will just have to try and find the fun in the game mode as a solo q player.

Insane take. The mode is oppressively survivor sided. Survivors have to do 2 less generators than normal, give their entire teams old Object of Obsession, Sprint Burst, Self Care and old Made for This. 1 shot killers get basekit meme addons so they can't do the one thing they're good at. There's 3 hatches, 3 escape gates, 3x more pallets on the map with some loops having upwards of 6 pallets in that loop, invisible walls everywhere and no slowdown for Killers. It's really a mess.

It is killer sided if the people use various types if classes but if 5 to 6 people use Scoit or is severely survivor sided.

It is not.
If the killers are decent and survs not very good.
I also only escaped like 3 times from i think 12 games.

It is survivor sided mode. ( Gen rush is so fast )
There should be 10 generators instead of 8.

tbh I escaped all but 1 out of like 10 ish games today
it's really easy to escape as survivor as gens get hammered, injuries mean nothing cause you're bound to get double healed, just 1 survivor looping a killer is gg for the killer side
granted, the randoms still need to do gens but at least in my games that was never an issue

Its a lot of fun! 10 Gens is a must. This game needs to be permanent! <3 Bugs will get fixed. Lets start releasing a few more killer options. I am so excited LETS GOOOO TEAM!! :D

My 2 only problems:
- The powers of the Survivors who are stupid for some of theses
- And the Nurse. I will not explain why the presence of the Nurse in this event is a very, very bad idea.
