Killers have no incentive to hook on 2v8 Endgame Collapse

You hook someone that will go to the other side of the map where there are 3 other people ready to save and leave through a gate you have no control over it. For the next version of it, they should fix this somehow because I'm seeing some killer players slugging when EGC starts.

What do you guys think?

    the whole mode is just absurdly survivor sided, so it is no wonder you cant do anything against them

    Smart killers will leave survivors slugged in EGC to bait other survivors to them. I've seen this done in some matches with pretty good success. You can't blame them because hooking a survivor during EGC basically guarantees they will escape if they aren't on death hook.

    Just play Billy or Wraith and send one killer over to the corner of the map to meet the team. They do it often enough in 2v8. Some of the killers greet the savior and tunnel the unhooked EVERY time because yanno, it's quite obvious where they will spawn.

    I wish the matches I'd played as survivor had been like that.

    Got hooked before an exit gate was open, watched 5 or 6 survivors huddled together at an exit gate as they opened it, and then they teabagged at the killers for over two minutes before running out.

    Back on topic: the EGC hooks thing was the same in the first iteration of 2v8. I loved when killers would hook me during EGC and I would specifically run away from an exit gate knowing I'd be put next to it when I got hooked. Worked beautifully. As killer, I often slugged during EGC for that exact reason unless I actually wanted the survivor to escape.

    Anyway, which part do you want fixed? Do you want survivors not to pop up near exit gates, or do you want killers not to be able to slug during EGC? Or both?

    I don't know how effective slugging is in 2vs8 right now since the survivors now have a basekit unbreakable. And I know this because a deathslinger and a spirit were having a "little experiment" going on where they were trying to slug out everybody before they could get themselves up again. I'm not judging it. They seemed to be having fun I guess. I was able to pick myself up a couple of times before I did eventually just bleed out. So the unbreakable DOES have a limit. But what creates all that I don't know. This was an extreme slugging situation.

    Killers have no incentive to hook at all in any game mode apparently.

    I personally think if you get caught during egc in 2v8 you should die instantly. It’s like old DS when it was an 100% escape.
