1v4 feels terrible compared to 2v8

The game is intolerable solo queue survivor these days. The camping, slugging, survivors dc'ing or suing on hook left and right. 2v8 solved these problems. In 2v8 the whole team was usually trying their best until the very end, while in 1v4 people are already giving up at 5 gens. Please bring 2v8 back asap because 1v4 is unplayable.

    When you realize this game is catered to killers you start to understand. 1v4 is built for killers. Respawn hooks after survivor dies , because killers complain about not being able to hook. When hooked skills check, useless, DH nerfed, gens time added etc etc. tunneling not punished, not fixed there is zero incentive to NOT tunnel. Killers will complain about SWF teams etc etc ..so they cater so every killer can match them....however what they really did was make solo and really casual players hate the game. I had 5 people I played with on a regular basis.… One by one they got tired of the how killers are given advantage after advantage. Now nobody plays and I'm forced to solo. I don't...I've actually switched to killer. It's sad but at least now I got an advantage and it's been easy. The gem of 2v8... It was fun, friends came back encouraged to play. It's gone…hey play two games and yep..same ole, they done playing it. My hope is that they keep 2v8 as a norm. Even with over powered killers (skill not sweaty perks) you still had a good game

    2v8 is order of magnitude intolerable for solo survivors except the extremely survivor sided game balance, the amount of useless teammates have been doubled

    You got your title backwards. "2v8 feels terrible compared to 1v4"

    2v8 was only marginally managable because it was extrememy survivor sided if survivors had a single braincell and did gens, otherwise it was just terrible useless teammates as normal but TWICE as bad.

    It should never become permament. If you don't like core DbD thats your problem.
