Had a dream where 2 Killers and 8 Survivors were a thing (New Game Mode Idea)

With the devs revealing the recent tile additions that they are planning on using to rework existing maps in the 3rd Anniversary livestream, as well as their current plans to onboard to dedicated servers, I believe that it is possible to create maps that are exclusive to a new game mode (8 Survivors, 2 Killers). Lobbies will consist of 4 survivors and a killer to take on another team of 4 survivors and a killer.

A giant map from a particular realm will be created (e.g. Coldwind Farm, Crotus Prenn Asylum, etc) which will seal off at a halfway point by the Entity to stop interactions between opposing survivors and killers.

Killers will be pitted against each other in a Freddy vs Jason-esque trial where the more active/role-fulfilling killer scores more points for their team (which therefore counts towards the final scoring for pips/ranking). The scoring criteria for this special trial can apply the usual criteria from the normal game mode (e.g. Gen Disruption, Winning Chases, Kills, etc).

Survivors on the other hand will still be required to complete generators, but will also be able to complete a secondary objective over the course of the trial that can send the killer on their side of the realm to the side with their team's killer (bit like Gambit's Invasion mechanic from Destiny 2) by banishing them. This will start a killer-based showdown to see who can appease the Entity more within a small time limit before being forced back into the realm that they started in. While one side of the realm has two killers roaming around, affected survivors receive a speed boost to all actions (repair speed, vault speed, etc) to compensate for the more difficult task of surviving.

I thought that this would be a decent idea to implement as each team's killer will be able to use comms with their own team's survivors and give a new spin to the current SWF situation. Apologies if this sounds confusing in advance, I'm still trying to remember what else I thought about while I was sleeping. What do you guys and gals think?
