2v8 super long queues?

Me and my friend have been queued in Killer for like 5 minutes, and we still haven't entered a lobby. Is there an issue with the servers?

    Same is happening with me and my friend. Could just be a high volume of killer players in queue at the moment but I'm not sure.

    This is due to the extremely high volume of players who want to play as Killer in this mode, we've increased the survivor incentives percentage in order to try to balance this out a little bit.

    I've seen survivor be at +400% for quite a long time now. Doesn't look like this is changing anytime soon.

    This is reflective of a lot more demand for survivors that needs to be filled in. If you want very fast queues, play as survivor with your friend. Literally it will take like 5 seconds to load into a lobby, and probably 30 seconds tops after that for the game to start.

    That's great advice… if you want to play as a survivor.

    Survivor incentives don't matter when playing as survivor is so boring. The two problems I'm seeing in the 2v8 mode are gens speeds from a killer perspective and lack of altruism from a survivor perspective. Add more gens in exchange for more ways we can save our friends (in other words, we want flashlight and pallet saves). You have to think, "what made survivor fun in the 1v4?". That's easy: long chases and altruism. Long chases are out of the question when you're trying to loop 2 killers, why take away the altruism as well? if this mode becomes permanent, i suggest BHVR utilizes the remote hooking ability from the anniversary event (but with a tiny delay after pickup so that a perfectly timed flashlight or pallet save isn't immediately countered by the hooking animation)

    most matches have a trapper in it. try queing up as a lesser played killer. i see trapper and wraith the most. try huntress or nurse. RARELY do i see a billy so that might help
