Ok but why is the queue for killer in 1v4 also long?

I can't figure this one out. The queue for killer in the regular game mode is also extremely long, but survivor is instant there as well.

If all the killers are flocking to play 2v8 and all the survivors don't like 2v8 and want to play the regular game, shouldn't killer queues in 1v4 be short?

    BP incentive is completely disabled in regular mode, and it's still 400% in 2v8 mode.

    As someone who initially hated 2v8 and is stealth-support survivor player (although I've been playing more killer than survivor the last month…), I still prefer queuing for 2v8 simply because of a combination of the points + knowing it's a limited time mode right now. Well, okay, I've also learned the power of the Scout class which has made 2v8 infinitely more fun for me and that's a large part too…

    But anyway, I gather it's because of the point incentive in 2v8, the fact the incentive is disabled for regular mode, plus knowledge it's a limit game mode that is sucking away the survivors from the regular mode too.

    As much as it might suck to hear, I have a hunch the killer queues are going to suck for both modes for the next few days at best, and the entire event in the worst case scenario (so a couple weeks).

    The incentive is often at 100% for killer when it is enabled, though, and it doesn't stop people from playing survivor.

    It's more fun to play as Killer. When you have a friend or two then it's more fun to play as Survivor.

    The time-limit of the event and the 400 incentive.

    Because many people played survivor just because it was the only way to play with friends. Now survivor mains can kwf for the first time ever, so they're no longer queueing in 1v4.

    Most players in general are in 2v9, it takes twice as many players just to start 1 game and that is where the incentive is right now.
