2v8 Has Turned me into a Killer Main

When I first started playing this game I started out as a survivor main. I never would've thought I'd ever become a killer main. Then 2v8 came out I was asked by a ttv friend of mines to play killer with him and I haven't looked back since.Granted I did manage to play a few survivor matches and there was one match that turned me off from the survivor role completely. I had one of the killers on a 4 to 5 Gen chase then once on my first cage I was left there by my other 7 survivors to just hang there almost till I died. What were they doing idk the gens came to a hault once I was caged yet they did anything other than save me off my first cage. So I took up my friends request to play killer. I'm on console mind you and new to the killer role. Then my inbox started to fill up with survivor entitlement bullying and harassment. Mind you 2v8 is heavily survivor sided there are a crap ton of pallets god loops there class skills are crazy unlimated shared sprint burst made for this ect etc. You really have to be a God tier killer to get an 8k especially against high hour heavily experienced survivors. Behavior literally hands them everything you cant camp cant tunnel. They still complain. That's not a community I want to be apart of so thank you 2v8 I have joined the dark side

    Trapper is very weak in 2v8.

    Trapper is not weak at all lol it all depends on how you play him. He's the strongest killer in my opinion not even nurse can do what he does. Now i would say he is in this mode heavily dependent on his teammate to have his back and herd survivors in his trap web as he is an area control killer. He can be on one side of the map and catch 2 3 even 4 survivors in his trap all while on the opposite side of the map laying more traps and applying pressure. Trapper is the Goat when played right

    Big brain take over here. Im a 90% killer main but I always play survivor to keep up on what it feels like from the other side.

    I'm unreasonable lmao. 2v8 1v4 there's no difference here most survivors will let there teammates handle all the dirty work gens and chase and most the time rot while they crouch urban evade edge map hide in lockers behind rock entire game to wait for hatch. And on the other end of the spectrum those with map and chase knowledge will do there best to bully newer killers ie point emote teabag point click flashy and make their playtime miserable.And sorry not sorry again I've been a survivor main to Me personally nothing is skillful about being able to hold w n hug alot of those broken God loops in 2v8 nor do i even find fov or 360s skillful cj tech etc etc are not happening with experienced killers.

    Big brain 😆 trying to denote or insunate somehow that I don't have one. Hard for me to believe you're a 90% killer main. My reasons are reasonable and valid. In all my playtime of playing survivor I've never gotten not one rude not one attempt to joke or bully or harass me or hate messages in my inbox from any killer I've played against. But the moment I switched to killer I can not say the same for the survivors I've faced. Thank you for being the example I was making about the toxic and abnormal mentality. You can carry your half attempt to downplay me in any way way over that way somewhere else

    This sounds more like being stuck in lower mmr bracket, AKA mmr hell, that's where you're matched with survivors like that. Good survivors are resourceful and help teammates.

    As for 2v8 IDK hwat it is but it's as though they've turned MMR off completely just to get enough players in 1 lobby. The amount of baby survivirs I've seen during 2v8 has been off the charts. I'd say don't let 1 event twist or contort your impression of the game.

    Please everyone Do keep me posted I am tracking the statistics of those who completely missed the point or didn't and just refuse to address it 😆 it's the toxicity and mentality for me

    I've been playing long enough and watching survivor main streamers to know that mmr does not exist. It definitely doesnt exist in 2v8 and understandably. However in 1v4 Some matches you get good teammates but new killer some matches you get baby survivors and experienced killers. Im Iri survivor and i still get newer killers. N it's way too late mate..this event showed me all I needed to see. Again my whole point of post was in regards to the toxicity.

    I have genuinely zero clue what you are talking about. You absolutely just made up an entire narrative that I in no way shape or form made.

    You believe what you want to believe but I am definitely a killer main and an insane Huntress with a YouTube channel to prove it.

    Dont assume im attacking you when I never even talked to or about you in any way. I was commenting on somebody else’s comment because they had a very good take about how people should play BOTH sides so their opinions aren’t askew.

    Give up in this mode because the VCPT coordination is stronger than ever in this mode and the three hatches make it nearly impossible. Relax and enjoy the killer as if you were taking a walk.

    Pretty sure most survivor mains are playing killers in 2v8 anyway, that's the biggest reason of que time

    Well it's good you're giving the other side a try, I've never understood why people buy this game and only play survivor or killer and not the other role it's like you're cheating yourself out of half of the game and missing out on important knowledge at the same time, it will only make you better.

    Yep. Of course they won't admit that but that's how things are. Even 400+% bonus doesn't help here.
