15 Min Queue For a Useless Teammate (Killer)

My god it's bad enough already that 2v8 Killer queues are on average 15 mins (Fixed btw says BHVR) but seriously what is with the amount of useless Killer players who are about as useful as a concrete parachute? It is becoming stupidly consistent where I am getting between 10-15 hook stages per game while Killer teammates I'm being put with barely even get 3.

The game just ends up feeling like it's an unwinnable 1v8 as your teammate is just making no impact at all. These players just have 0 game awareness, they tunnel vision chases against Survivors who know what they are doing and don't know when to drop chase, they run around areas where no gens are chasing someone who can just freely use up the resources in that area as there is no reason for Survivor to go there as they already completed the gen. I'll occasionally help them out with a hit If I am nearby but I dont go out of the way for it and by god the amount of times I am seeing these people whiff point blank hits is ridiculous.

I understand Survivors can also have useless teammates but when it's a case of Killer only gets 1 where at least you have potentially 6 other decent players to rely on is just making 2v8 become boring very quickly. I'm not expecting Killer teammates to be 10k hour god tier players but at least put me with some players who don't come across as they just finished the tutorial stage of the game.

"It's just a fun casual party game mode"
Yes thats why the Guide has become meta insanely quick thanks to streamer clips showing a gen can be done in mere seconds. It's also a struggle to fun when It seems like you have to pull more weight than your own to even remotely have a chance. 2v8, meaning there is 10 people who want to win just as bad as each other.

    I only play killer in the first hours of the game mode release because you usually get a good teammate. Then everyone switches to duo or survivor.

    There are a lot of newbie killers in my survivors matches as well.

    Yeah, I've been playing KWF in this mode. Part of the reason that I'm skeptical of an actual balance issue in this mode. Our Billy/Nurse combo has only gotten 7k/8ks so far. I've seen some killers who are relatively inactive when I play survivor. One Trapper in particular was in main doing....something.... for 4 gens, but I never found any traps in main.
