And I say that as a killer main btw. My reasons :

PERKS

1vs4 : survivors can chose the strongest perks and combine them.

2vs8 : survivors have to make a choice between different sets of perks. They cannot cover all of their weaknesses.

COMPOSITION AS SURVIVOR
1vs4 : you just need to find 3 people to make a full SWF stack. Even with 1 friend (duo) you have a guarantee they are going to come for the save and not let you root on a hook or do stupid plays.
2vs8 : you are most likely playing with soloQ teammates that absolutely don’t care about you and will use you as meat shield if needed.


COORDINATION AS SURVIVOR

1vs4 : just by reading the HUD, it is easy to coordinate for going for saves while keeping a teammates on a generator and / or keeping the killer busy. It is way easier to understand what is going on at any given time, and the state of the map : what gen have been done / pallets been used.
2vs8 : the HUD is way more busy, it is almost impossible to coordinate with your teammates to do anything, especially because they are soloQ. The match is very chaotic having 2 killers, it is hard to keep track of dead areas or what is the correct play to do next. Survivors run from killers like headless chickens everywhere or stay togeather as a herd not being efficient at all.


MATCH RESULT AS KILLER

1vs4 : it feels like it matters because you probably chased or interacted with most or all of the survivors in the lobby.
2vs8 : you don’t even know who is who. They are so many, it doesn’t make much difference if 2, 3, 4 or 5 escape, it is just a bunch of survivors.

For all these reasons, I think it is a good thing 2vs8 is survivor sided.
