2 vs 8 and what could be done to make it a better experience.
So there has been alot of talk about 2 vs 8 recently since its delay and the frustrations does make sense. Having 2 vs 8 delayed everytime it releases is annoying since it makes the length of the mode very inconsistent and means the killer que times on both 2 vs 8 and 1 vs 4 are long for the extra period of time. But the other end of this is that 2 vs 8 is a loved game mode hence why its always getting extended. So below, im gonna suggest a few changes that could be made to ensure both 2 vs 8 enjoyers and non enjoyers can be happy.
1.Make it a weekend exclusive game mode. The weekend period tends to have most players home from work, university etc and these types of players tends to be the casual players. What I have been seeing is that the more casual players loves this game mode compared to the more frequent and competitive players. So bringing this mode back every weekend would make the casual players happy since they can play their mode when they have the most free times whilst the more frequent and competitive players can still play normally through the week
2.Introduce "play while you wait" to 1 vs 4 ques. Killer que times im 2 vs 8 are long and the play while you wait feature has helped with that however, the 1 vs 4 que times are still long which means that those who wants to play killer on 1 vs 4 now had to wait 20 mins whilst doing nothing. Introducing this feature to 1 vs 4 would allow killers in 1 vs 4 to do something whilst they wait for the killer game whilst helping reducing the que times.
3.Pernamently give the survivor role 4× bps on both 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 8 when the mode is available. This alone would incentives more players to play the survivor role, which will additionally decrease the killer que times more which makes both sides happy.
4.If we go down the weekendly 2 vs 8 root, add weekly content to 2 vs 8. This can range from a lot of things such as a blood moon event in 2 vs 8, new killers and classes added, 2 vs 8 merged with a new / past game mode, etc. Something to keep the casual players entertained every weeked so the mode doesnt die down after 2 months.
5. Increase the BPS cap by double. Everyone likes blood points and allowing players to earn even more BPS would incentives those who wouldn't play 2 vs 8 before to play it. This would still keep the casuals happy whilst also now attracting the more non casuals towards it, allowing the mode to be played by a vast amount of players.

I like the idea of making 2v8 a “weekend exclusive” mode. I think there are a lot of people (including myself) who like 2v8 better than 1v4 and I think having 2v8 be more permanent would keep more people playing the game consistently. Adding “play while you wait” to 1v4 is a good idea too, especially if an active 2v8 mode is affecting 1v4 queue times.
I think a lot of the pressure to only have one mode/queue is coming from players (especially content creators) who only play one side and don’t want to have to wait a long time for killer queues because they don’t want to play survivor while they wait. If everyone was fine with playing survivor while they wait for a killer queue, we really wouldn’t have a problem.-2 -
I'm just really bored of the current roster, and I feel the additions come too slowly. this 2v8 we got Chuck and...that's it. that just replaced the killer we lost, Legion.
I don't even care if they add Ghoul.

There needs to be big changes every time 2 vs 8 returns honestly. Like this 2 vs 8 added alot and is what every 2 vs 8 should be looking like.
