2x8 is the most survivor sided thing I've seen in DBD

BHVR,

If your plan was to make the event so survivor sided that it shortened the killer queue (which is at ridiculous lengths), you've nailed it. This is the first event that I am so glad to finish my tome and go play something else because I'm sure the regular queue is bad too.

You either need to make it 2v6 with the current easy survivor mode on to lessen the queues or find a way to make the 2v8 more fair (which will probably make games longer and make the queue worse.)

This just isn't working. I guess I'll let the killers with top % skills make these matches challenging.

    It's really not survivor sided at all, I'm getting plenty 5-8ks with my friends, the power comes from co-ordinating and working together. The combos you can get off as killer is BS

    Maybe don't rely on gen regression, get better at chases.

    Funny enough, the normal game mode isn’t fair with its 60+% kill rate, otherwise it would be closer to 50%. 2vs8 got a lower kill rate, that still favors killers, but it is a lot more fun, because it feels fairer.

    You shouldn’t expect them buffing killers, when there are too many killers and you shouldn’t call something survivor sided when it is not. You are far too used to a killer sided mode, that you believe it is survivor sided when it is actually fair for once.

    I just noticed they are even giving survivors the option to restore pallets? AHAHA this game has gotten so ridiculous for survivors. Literally a pallet at every turn, gone are the days of exclusively good looping survivors at high mmr and now we're stuck with terrible players who just run pallet to pallet and call that skill.

    Also, setting an arbitrary "rate" is the silliest thing I've ever heard. The game shouldnt be tweaked to ensure 50% wins or whatever on either side. It should be fair, that pallets are dead chase stops after long, tough chases - not a mechical crutch to rely on at every turn. There should be lots of dead zones for survivors.

    I only play survivor on occasion and I'm in the top 2-3 in score on every 2x8 - and I have very little experience at survivor! It's just so easy mode.

    Unbelievable how entitled you survivors are getting.

    Cool, don't care, still not interested in this mode and still will not play future iterations.

    Enjoy your 20 minute queues, BHVR has lost this player and I will be taking a break every time 2v8 comes around again from now on. It's just never gonna be good and never gonna be anything but "sweat or lose" for Killer and ultra-free winmode if you try for Survivor. It's not a "fun chaotic arcade mode", it's just soulless stripped down DBD with everyone being stupid overpowered. Where is the fun?

    And no, nothing anyone says in the community will ever convince me otherwise.

    Basekit some Killer generator control and add my Mains, or I'm not coming back to 2v8. And since all my mains are licensed, I'm not holding my breath.

    I agree, all my buddy and I can do is run from gen to gen and even then we are getting beat. If you break off to give chase for 10 ot 15 seconds you can be sure you will lose a gen. You really can only watch the last few gens and hope that you get lucky. Its not nearly as fun the first time.
