The second iteration of 2v8 is now LIVE - find out more information here: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/480-2v8-developer-update

Actually adding rank and normal gameplay

I think the game should have a option of playing ranked or normal game , where in rank you could choose to ban a killer or 3 perks and i normal you could play like now... this for the fact that people complain alot (and with reason) about nurse spirit and legion.

    Even tho banning system seems interesting, we can't really afford separate game mode - queues are already bad, would get even worse. Banning phase would take a while. Then another while for everyone to pick perks. Then someone notices his DS / Deliverance / Adrenaline / BT / Ruin / noed / whatever they wanted to play was banned and just rage DCs, which would make queues even worse.

    Also there are some problems with it. Imagine killer banning BT - he would be sure that he can just tunnel survivors down and there is no BT to stop him. Survivors banning ruin and then bringing 4 strong toolboxex - gens would just melt.

    The key here is understanding how much valuable is information that survivors/killer DON'T have specific perks. In top ranks it would make huge difference and would be pretty much impossible to balance, because players often have to respect possibilities, that are not even in the game (like slugging = risking unbreakable, but if it was banned you could slug with no penalities to it).

    So how about banning specific characters and not perks? Well while it's quite a thing for killer, forcing him to pick something with different power, it's pretty much nothing for survivors, because once you unlock all your perks all survivors are almost same character. So even tho im a survivor main myself i feel like it would be really unfair for killers.

    TL:DR - Sounds fun, but imo would be too hard to balance and i don't think we can afford another game mode, because of queue length.
