How is 2v8 survivor going for everyone?
Comments

Yeah because Legion is completely broken in this mode and turns the other killer into a perma insta down killer. Legion is a weak killer but they get injures for free, so combine them with a Huntress and then Huntress has Iri Heads all match.
Combine them with Oni… well, we all know the problem there. Still amazes me BHVR let this go live

Yeah I’ve been having fun on both sides. Escape Rate on survivor is pretty high for us. Less than a handful combined of bad matches.
Tbf we make a good team.

That would require a soft rework to his power and his hits in deepwound what would his debuff even be

Honestly, I don't know. All I know is that if bhvr ignores how problematic legion is in 2v8 (in addition to how dull 2v8 survivor is in general), then I fear that the mode will eventually end up like lights out.

Facing Oni and legion is "fun" when you realize your better off just not healing at all since legion can rush around getting more injures for Oni's power so healing is just a waste of time. I feel like they could have disabled Legion or just swapped some killers out. Swap Legion for Oni or Blight for Nurse basically swapping them around since I feel like in the next few iterations of 2v8 we'll just have all the killer's available to play so Plague and Oni for infinite injure, Singularity and Skull Merchant for far away gen camping, Clown and Dredge for dark gas aka having to now maneuver night fall and dodge bottles without seeing where their coming from.

I've changed my mind XD
I hate this duo too

Lol… yeah its so wonderful eh?
I think Legion should be deleted from 2v8 altogether, Oni probably should be too unless they make some major changes and you should not be able to pair Nurse with Blight, for obvious reasons.

It's weird, so many games my team will start off strong and hit the gens fast. But then once we hit 1 or 2 gens to go, suddenly no one touches them. When I die it always seems to be when there's 1 gen left and it's because I'm the only one trying to do it.
The screenshot below was from a game where only one person survived via hatch. 8 people still in game and the last gen never got done. I was the only one trying but when the killers have nothing to do but patrol gens because every survivor is hiding, then i just can't get progress because I'm constantly getting interrupted. I switched to Guide for all my subsequent games, and found myself again in this situation a couple games later. Of the 7 other survivors still in game with me, only a Feng tried to get the last gen done with me and once the Huntress caught on she made sure we didn't get it done. Everyone died. It got to the point where I decided that games where I complete the final gen on my own, I'm just opening the gate and leaving. I earned it lol

I'm not touching 2v8 this time, there's no reason to play Survivor and i dont care about BP, and since survivor got nothing new (not the smoke bombs pls), killer queues won't be any better, plus the moment they said Oni was included (like Plague, they belong to 1v4), i knew it was gonna be a bad time as ppl confirm.
6 -
the ones where myself and hyena were playing that went bad were the same way it’s because people cared more about saves than doing the final gens, or just wouldn’t touch gens. In a few of the matches I ended up being one of the only people that would do the remaining gen or two.
0 -
Both definitely needs changes. I'm just going to P100 Lara and not touch this mode until they make some improvements
3 -
I only do it because of the additional BP and it has a dramatic effect on normal queues
But now I cant play at all because I have an EAC error that wont let me even get into the game! This game man… tries my patience

Did a single killer match after waiting for like 10 minutes.
Laughed as I watched Oni teammate patrol generators and slug and then went back to playing survivor.
First survivor game of the day, and a wesker bug grabbed someone lol4 -
I know. I got like a lot of dedicated errors and it's so annoying to play lately. I thought this 2v8 would be cool, but it's a nightmare XD
0 -
It is a bit tbh… the earlier versions were fun but they keep adding stuff that ruins it.
And yeah this is super annoying, game breaks and I didn't do anything wrong

I only had in mind that legion would be feeding Oni's power so he could enrage non-stop. But i guess if legion is only running around from survivor to survivor w/o downing or hooking survivors, I see why it'd be 1 Oni vs 8 survivors. You'd think with as much as survivors are complaining about Oni/Legion, it'd be a lethal combo but I guess not.
which is ok, im not good with legion anyway. been queing as Nemmy but i'd luv to get paired with an Oni
-2 -
you would think survivors would be happy to go against a Spirit last night instead of legion/oni but they were not happy they got 8k'd and told me to touch grass T_T
Spirit overtuned and no one playing her, missing out.-3 -
Thank goodness I haven't seen them running shadow too much..

Generators > Healing in 2v8. I see nobody doing Generators.. Could it be because it's boring and not fun to sit on a Generator? It is highly likely.
7 -
Good teamwork makes the dream work 😉

I saw one Legion with Shadow, paired up with a Nurse.
That was a very hard match.3 -
I’m about to finish a midnight walk I think, once I beat it want to play?
2 -
2v8 when they introduce plague…I wonder what their plans are for her.

You bet I do

Died on hook because a teammate decide it would be fun to crouchwalk to the unhook.
Was dead on hook and injured and a teammate (healthy and not dead on hook) ran into the same direction and naturally ended up in a situation where they where between me and the killer and they would take the hit, but then they moved out of the way so I would die instead of them becoming injured.
Constantly hitting multiple stages on hook. I have to play medic and run to unhooks because I have seen so many games fall apart without that.
I ran from a Wesker. My teammate literally stood still in a pallet and blocked me until the Wesker got a hit.
There is a reason I only play Killer when the queues aren't bad.

I just got paired with a Legion who either didn't know that you can hook someone or just couldn't down someone. I was playing Wraith and we lost horribly

My comment about the map being too large is really more about how it's impossible to go for constant saves and heal survivors scattered around the map as a medic without wasting a ton of time. Not really a detriment to survivoring although the amount of survivors going into second stage or dying in the cage from lack of saving- especially on 2 floor RPD has been crazy in my games.

This 2v8 has been pretty miserable survivor-side. I was really looking forward to this mode coming back and honestly don't even want to play it anymore. The vast majority matches I've had have been against the Oni + Legion combo (haven't seen a single Huntress, Trapper, or Deathslinger). As many have stated, Legion is already an extremely boring killer to play against, but paired with Oni - the match is unwinnable if the killers have any experience at all. I also just had an Oni/Billy match where they performed and 8-survivor slug and just kept killing/slugging survivors as soon as they got up. Survivor classes need to be seriously tuned up (better healing boosts for medics/faster self-heal for slugging, etc) if killers are going to be made this strong. I'd be really interested to see the survival stats of this 2v8, because I'd imagine the % of survivors killed far exceeds any other 2v8.

wouldn't Shadow be the worst class for Legion and anybody playing with them tho, since being undetectable directly hinders info you get by killer instinct while you are in power?

I have played every version of 2v8 so far. And while I am having fun playing with two friends now, this has been the most tedious version so far. As a matter of fact, the addition of Legion and now Oni has made it so I dont want to see any more killers added to this mode. While Legion is not lethal their constant frenzy stack forces you to abandon gens to get distance when he hits other teammates. Worse, people don't know how to play against them because they are rarely played in regular mode so they heal constantly and also don't block for teammates not hit by frenzy. Then paired with Oni, the Snowballer, he feeds him constant blood. I've seen no less than 3 teammates go down whenever he goes into dash. Instead of helping pick up slugs teammates stand around like statues. So a combination of seeing more teammates with no idea how to play the game effectively and two of the most annoying killers with constant power has made this a slog. Yes, I am making it out less. Not a problem if I had a fun match. The only killer that would be worse than these two is Gen Merchant. They'd probably give her 12 drones which would be a pita in RPD.
Things I am enjoying: Some aspects of the chaos. No perks, but classes (a big draw for me). Anti-tunnel with the cages, bloodpoints. It's just cool to vs two killers. I take it as a compliment when a killer's buddy drops chase to help the one I am running. Games without Oni and Legion. As a scout main-putting up a really good pallet that saves someone's life. Jump scares due to shadow class.

Well, I got back to DBD, like, yesterday, but my experience so far hasn't been great. This 2v8 isn't fun for survivor, especially if Legion is in the game.
7 -
Yep. This is my experience with most games after the first minute or so. 1-2 people on gens and 6-7 people either in cages/slugged, opening literally every chest on the map, doing totems, or 4 survivors running across the entirety of the map to uncage/heal the same person.
2 -
BHVR really needs to stop thinking a measly Bloodpoint bonus is enough compensation for content that feels like psychological warfare. If they're going to test my sanity, they better come up with something actually worth the headache

Waiting on it to disappear so killer queue quicker.
3 -
Terrible I just had a game where the killers was camping the cages and it didn't move and then I had another game where the killers just slugged three survivors at the end and we was getting up but they would drop us near each other so it was so easy to knock us down again I feel like we should have some type of endurance. And don't even get me started on oni dropping so many people with one use of his powers and then him paired with Legion is no fun at all. I've been trying to play killer but the wait time is so long. Maybe they should add bots back
6 -
2v8 is repetitive and unfun this time around. 1v4 is a sluggfest. Guess I will wait until this mode is over to play again

Killer side, I've been enjoying 2v8 despite my Main not being there, only my secondaries Nemesis and Ghostface. I'm still winning rounds pretty handily with both, and generally do not see either as too weak or too strong, though both can struggle if paired with the wrong Killer or a weaker player as they can struggle to carry weaker players against good teams. It genuinely feels good for both Killers in this mode and I am satisfied. But nothing will beat when Dredge gets added!
Survivor side, generally speaking I am still enjoying the chaos, and winning more than losing. I've had about as many escapes as I have losses, some days more some less. Things feel well balanced this time around, but Oni+Legion is still really miserable to face and NEEDS to be addressed. Alone they're okay. Together they're a nightmare.
EDIT: Downvoted for enjoying a mode, Damn, we really can't have anything nice in this community can we? Nope, gotta swarm anyone not responding the same way as the Hivemind…

Still as bad as last time. Unbelivably survivor sided to the point where winning becomes impossible. Every map full of god pallets, that can be picked up or rebuilt. Now instead of herbs, there are get out of jail for free smokebombs. Oni gets very low value when playing with randoms, because they dont pick up your downs. Still waiting for survivors in this mode to take at least a little skill.

"What the hell were people doing?
On top of that, every match has giga-buffed Oni downing 3 or 4 people at a time with a single use of his power."
Sounds like you answered your own question.5 -
2v8 as an incentive should let you freely play as any killer/survivor you don't own and freely allow you to equip any cosmetic you don't own

I'm tired of being hooked next to either the other killer or right next to the same killer that hooked me. This is the 4th iteration of 2v8 I believe, so how is it that they still haven't fixed the hook spawns? Last game I got hooked by deathslinger twice, and proceeded to spawn me next to him both times… The game doesn't seem to have a problem with hooking me far away from all my teammtes though, so that's great :D

Thank you for adding oni to this gamemode :) Then buffing him :))

Shadow only sucks if your teammates take it. You lose the undetectable once you stab

I got burned pretty hard last night like this. Only 1 death at 1 gen, but only I was doing the last one. I got it to 99, got shaken off then hooked and left to die because "somebody else will get me"
They all died. Easiest 7 man out I ever saw, too. Aaaaaaaah

With the amount of those little blood bubbles Oni collects floating around because there's almost always someone injured at any given point, I haven't been surprised that he has so much use of his power. It basically is infinite. He's got plenty available to him to recharge, so he's able to recharge almost instantly.
On another note, I've only played about 10 matches with a friend as survivor, and Ghostface was the predominant one for us. I got hatch the first match we played, she got hatch the second, we both got hatch the third, and for the most part our escape ratio is on the higher end. But we're also not casual players. And we enjoy playing survivor together. There's too many people playing this game who don't enjoy it that keep coming back to it, and honestly, that rather large portion of the community is what's ruining the game for those of us that genuinely do enjoy the game for whatever reason.

II'm So glad I'm not the only one smart enough to run to the opposite side of the map!!! Even in regular lobbies. I've noticed that killers just have a habit of heading roughly to where survivors spawn and someone is almost always downed within the first few minutes of the match.
1 -
The fact that oni hasn't been nerfed since being in 2v8 is absolutely insane, why did a killer that was already going to be buffed simply by being in 2v8 need to be buffed even more? It makes 0 sense, and he's still got the buffs. I would love to hear the what motivated their decision, also if they even tested some of these features before actually adding them to the mode, or if they just throw them together and call it a day.

Supreme incompetency mode. Not sure it's possible for BHVR to ever make the game fun for survivor. Each attempt gets worse and even more killer sided.
