Killer que times are horrible

EU person here.

It's weekend time. I want to play 1vs4 standart gamemode. I am sitting right now in 8+ min lobby. I am probably avarage MMR.

Game is getting unplayable. I don't want to wait the same ammout of time in lobby it takes to play the whole match and I don't want to be forced to only play Survivor, I was allready playing survivor a lot.

2vs8 mode can't be realesed permanently or for longer period of time like this. Only solution is either not play your game or to play only Survivor which gets boring after a while doing only one role back to back. I don't to be just playing 2vs8.

Before 2vs8 mode, it was fine it took during daytime on avarage 2-4 minutes, now its more than double. The playerbase isn't big enough to have two big games that are popular to be open at the same time. BP bonuses aren't enough to solve this. I can't play killers I want to play because I am not going to wait 7-10 minutes in a que to get 8-10 min match. Sorry.

    I agree. This is the only reason I hate 2v8. It's completely changed the queue experience for killers forever, as this game mode will definitely come back.

    Swf players are now queuing as killers and survivors are spoiled from the casual 2v8 experience. I was so disappointed that this version of 2v8 got extended. Now I can't play Nemesis for another week >:(

    Same happened when killers had remote hooks. Will normalize soon. I always have BP incentives on survivor tho.

    I use my tablet to pass the time waiting on 1v 4 match to do daily killer challenges.

    Waiting time is quicker than it was as 2v8 loses its initial appeal but still ridiculously long

    Hopefully we'll see an improvement soon with new killer and survivor due out.

    Killer is just less stale and more diverse role.

    Survivors are painfully boring and need something new.
