Now That F2P Weekend Is Over
I was beginning to think that 2v8 was skewed more towards killers based on how often I was winning my killer matches. But ever since the free to play weekend is over and the good survivors are the only ones left, this game mode got significantly harder. Im not gonna complain too much because I think the mode is just mainly for fun but if the mode ever becomes permanent,I think there will definitely need to be 10 generators to be completed.
This is just based off of my experience over the past few days where even when I'm landing 95% of my hatchets and literally downing people constantly cross map. Survivors have managed to finish all 8 gens in 6-8 minutes which is kind of crazy because that's faster than my 1v4s. And its not like my teammates were awful either as they have all had over 2,000 hours except for a few console ones I couldn't see.
This is probably why people are seeing the increase in tunneling in this game mode now that the new players are gone. I still don't tunnel because I honestly don't care about winning all that much. But if they are trying to make this mode balanced it definitely needs a few tweaks.

This might also explain why I just couldn't get any escapes in my session this morning…

I feel the complete opposite. During the first week of 2v8, I was winning almost every round as survivor, usually without being downed. Killers would give up chase after 20 seconds, survivors would absolutely gen rush and it just felt so easy to win as survivor. Likewise, I played as killer and it felt impossible to win. The past few days however, every killer seems like they have 5000+ hours in the game. They're all so sweaty, tunnel, chase together and end most chases within 15 seconds. What happened?

Since its a mode most focused on fun, i think the devs should wait more before doing any drastic changes for balance.
Killers on the 2v8 needs to rely heavily in macroplay, much more than in normal game mode, specially since missplays are more punishing in this mode than jn the 1v4.

in my opinion, killer meta for 2vs8 is billy tunneling. you chase someone down in 2vs1, down them, they get to sent cage, billy fly's around the map to find caged target. tunnel them out of the game.
i wonder if this game mode proc'd billy on change list. maybe he was too effective in the mode so they realized his base-kit was over-performing hence change list.

You knew the game mode was extremely survivor sided just from looking at numbers, two killers can only do so much when survivors got literally anything they need with much fewer objective
As long as survivors simply do gens, pretty much any killers simply can't catch up, only strategy that barely works is tunneling

Some dev put out a thing on the forums a few days ago, with statistics of the 2v8 mode. Apparently the win rate for both sides is EXACTLY 50%, which I find very hard to believe.

Maybe the experiences of the people on the forums isn't respresentative of the playerbase overall? People who lose a lot tend to come on here and complain. Those who are doing fine or aren't sweating don't tend to bother as much.

I mean, this is prime example of how an extremely survivor sided games still results in "fair" statistics thanks to "average" skill level of the game, huh

My Killer games were trivial in 2v8 at the start. Now my Survivor games are trivial at the end. As long as you run enough Escapists, Guides, and a scout or two and have decent Survs, none of the Killers can even compete.
