If you're an AFK killer during 2v8

This is as serious as it gets IN this game. I don't think there is a single thing you can do on this game other than hacking that completely ruins the experience the way that this does. Not only does it ruin the match it wastes a half an hour or more of your time.. BHVR should look closely at reports during this event and ANY killer who is AFK during this event is simply BANNED from playing in the event.

You have to wait 15 GD minutes to get into a lobby. Only to finally play and your teamamte is some pile of garbage who is purposely AFK. I don't buy that oh they forgot crap for one minute. If that was the case the ENTIRE match wouldn't go by without them moving an inch. This is 100% on purpose.

So now because of this I have to wait a half an hour to MAYBE get to play a single normal killer game? ZERO excuses they should be banned from the mode.

This combined with the long wait has basically ruined this mode for me. I quit yesterday because of an AFK teammate and now today.

and for the love of god INCREASE THE INCENTIVES!!! Is it really hard to comprehend that 250% is like NOTHING at all when you consider you can't use offerings?

250% incentive=basically normal incentive and a single BPS…WHOA!!! Better play with that incentive while it lasts!! Not.

    Yeah, this can be rough. Today I had a Wraith who sandbagged me while playing Killer in 2v8. Usually I dont really care that much about stuff like that, but I waited over 20 minutes for a game, just to have the other Killer following me the whole time and bodyblocking me where possible.

    In the end they blocked me in a Corner (I did not care too much, I just wanted my Billy Daily done at this point, so I know that this will happen, the game was ruined anyway).

    The sad part is that this person also waited over 20 minutes (most likely) just to do THAT. I wish I had this freetime to spend it like that.

    The other night I had a killer teammate (Huntress) that was AFK at the start of the match. I realized it after I had put down some traps and caged someone that my teammate wasn't moving. Went over and confirmed they were indeed not doing anything. Since I was playing as Trapper and had no interest in a 1v8 I decided to go hang out by an exit and wait for the survivors to finish up the gens so I could just open the door and have them leave.

    Once the survivors were down to 2 gens the other killer decided to move, they came straight over to me and just start nonstop swinging at me. I decided to walk away and they followed while throwing hatchets at me. I decided to get some XP from breaking doors and they would try to block me from doing that, not even trying to break the to get the XP, just trying to stop me from getting it.

    Last time in 2v8 killers that DC'd were replaced with a bot. They should do the same for killers that are AFK at the start of a match. Give them 60 seconds (that's more than enough time to realize you are now in a match) and then boot them from the match and replace with a bot. Sure, the bot may not be as good as a real person but it's better than an AFK killer teammate.

    It also has other negative effects. With the waits being so long I am far less likely to pick a character I am not comfortable with out of fear I am going to be terrible. Even though the mode itself allows for you to get used to them better than main mode does. If the waits weren't so long I would pick characters like Spirit Huntress and Nurse more often because then I could get used to them. But I dont wanna go into a game and suck. I know how annoying it is when I am playing one I know how to play and my teamamte is somehow just BOMBING and doing awful.

    In my match I was Huntress who I can't play worth a damn. So basically me as a newb Huntress vs 8 survivors.

    I haven't had an AFK killer but I have had AFK team mates and a couple who DC'd and no joke, the bot that replaced them was more use than they were lol
