2v8 is absolutely miserable as survivor.
This game mode ######### sucks, how do you people like this crap? It's ######### miserable as survivor. There is no redemption for this game mode as far as I can tell.

It is like normal mode on steroids.
It is fast and stressful and at least for me it is mostly stomp or getting stomped.
With two good killers double tapping it also has some really unfair situations.

We are playing a whole different game then

I've played like 20 games and escaped like 15 of them... what exactly are you talking about?

Maybe try to think of players who aren´t as good as you.
I also met some nasty combos of very fast killers who had great double tapping and cage rushing - that is not very fun.

Well, I'm always happy to discuss players experiences with DBD, but look again back at the OP... Is there anything here constructive that I can even remotely consider a reasonable complaint or objective argument?
I have responded slightly dismissively, since this thread is saying nothing of substance to respond to, so I have simply pointed out I've not had the same experience, and am asking what the OP is talking about.
To answer the points in the OP: -
- This game mode doesn't suck, it's been a lot of fun in every game I've played, win or lose, and is one of the most popular game modes BHVR has ever made to the point the regular queue struggles to find players. So by every metric I can see, this statement is false.
- People like it cause it's chaotic and intense, with a lot of hilarious moments. I laughed my head off when I got confused by the TRs and got tomahawked round a corner by Huntress only to get Clotheslined from hell by Blight. Maybe don't take it so seriously and you'll have more fun.
- It's far from miserable for survivor. The killers can't easily tunnel you, can't slug you, can't run mega slowdown, and can't even keep track of survivors in any meaningful way. All the stuff survivors complain about regularly aren't a thing.
- No redemption for this mode? It is massively improved over the first iteration, with meaningful counterplay for survivors in the form of saves. The bonuses are nowhere near the permanent 400% survivor was in the first iteration. The survivor powers are all quite strong and fun to use. The sprint burst and woo is surprisingly not the most popular perk, and I often see a healthy mix in every lobby I've been in. My favourite is the scout with the ability to rebuild pallets.
So as far as I can tell, every single statement of the OP is counterable with factual evidence.
Reading your own critique, yours is better cause it actually makes a point, but I would argue if the killers are going round as a duo, they are not spreading pressure, and with the rapid speed survivors can complete gens, especially with the Guide class, them targetting you with both of them is still a net gain for the team more often than not.
So my original statement stands, what is ten OP talking about?

Then why is he/she complaining on forum about it if it's a skill issue?
1 -
Then I can say killers are miserable, because there are worse killers than me? DBD in general is miserable, if you are bad enough.
Not really a good argument…1 -
Like 1v4, whether or not the game is fun as survivor depends on your teammates. And just like in the first iteration of 2v8, the majority of the teammates in my MMR/region are miserable to play with. I watched my friend play the mode as survivor and either the survivors were making cage saves but not doing gens, or the survivors were focusing on gens but ignoring going for cage saves. He escaped some matches, but I noticed he was never happy when he escaped, he would run out the exit gate and still be extremely frustrated despite the win because he just was not having fun.

2v8 mode is just twice the action of the normal match, the bad players will show fast, you gotta adapt your strategy.
3 -
This game mode is extremely survivor sided. How can it possibly be a bad experience for you? I can barely finish my first chase before 2 gens pop.

I have been having fun as survivor on 2v8 most games 8 gens are completed the only ones that don't is when people are hiding/doing nothing
