Do you think the next round of 2v8 mode will be balanced?

    The last iteration of 2v8 was laughably survivor-sided in an effort to “fix” the queue times, and it didn’t fix the queue times. So I can imagine things are going to be pushed even further in that direction in the next iteration, so no, it’ll be even less balanced.

    I think bots would outright kill the mode honestly. I can't see anyone being happy with that. Survivors aren't going to enjoy having bot teammates and killers are not going to want to play PVE matches against a bunch of bots.

    I never understood where the idea of 2v8 being busted and chaotic honestly. I never felt overpowered as a killer or survivor in the mode at all. It's not like Marvel rivals where 90% of the heroes all have really fun over power kits that are fun to use and play with. Killers we've gotten so far in 2v8 only feel like slightly buff versions of their 1v4 kits, nothing super crazy. Just mostly the same powers that are slightly buffed number-wise. As for survivors, it's mostly just the same gameplay for them just double amount of players.

    I don't know…I rather have a truly chaotic mode where killers have crazy outrageous versions of their powers and survivors have other things to do other than sit on gens. Nothing in 2v8 feels chaotic or honestly fun. The thing I will say is 2v8 is more casual and friendly just bc you have more ppl so if one or two ppl mistakes on the survivor's side don't really mean the whole team will die and for killers you have one other person to lead on so it's not as stressful, tho that only when you playing with a friend since in my exp, my random teammate as killers 90% are useless and I will be better off playing with a bot killer or solo.

    I think it is balanced. It is balanced for fun. 🙂

    This isn’t supposed to be a competitive mode.

    Players can still play competitively if they want.

    But the core design is to make people happy.

    I only like playing 2v8. 1v4 is too stressful for me.

    I saw that too. Killers get haste but survivors get restored hook states and heal states. Sounds…….fair….So slug you might say? They get basekit unbreakable.

    Who cares. You want the game mode that takes 20 minutes to find a lobby balanced when not even the main game is?

    This mode will never be completely balanced.

    But i think they should not try to hard to balance it. This is a faced paced dumbed down version of DbD and that is completely fine for me.

    As long as this stays an event. I never want this to be permanent.

    I really hope we can finally use BP Offerings and the BP Bonus for survivors will be like the first time (+400%) and not 50% like the last time because during this time, I rather play survivor since I don't wanna wait 15 - 20 minutes for a 5minutes game but getting nearly no BPs reduces my motivation to play survivor by a lot.

    And I hope we can pip in this game mode

    I find the never ending buffs to survivors funny in 2vs8 xD

    Like I always have a blast in the mode as either side win or lose, but it makes me laugh just how many cool things survivor get, and people STILL keep complaining about getting wombo combo downed by Killers. It's like dude... how many buffs do you want!? XD

    My favourite memory was looping a Wraith whike injured for a solid 40s, won every mind game at every pallet and window, was about to pick pocket this man again as I threw a pallet and stunned him, started to turn to run...

    Off the edge of my screen I didn't hear him coming at all cause the chase music drowned him out... an absolute tank of a Trapper flew in from the left of my screen and proper tomahawk clotheslined my Kate into next week , full backwards somersault animation APA Bradshaw Clothesline from Hell style.

    I was wheezing... I couldn't see through the tears of laughter 🤣🤣🤣

    It can’t be balanced; it has to be surv sided. Everyone already wants to play killer so why would most people even queue up for surv otherwise? Certainly not bloodpoints…

    Remember when survivors kept complaining about being slugged even though every survivor had basekit infinite Unbreakable? Hilarious.

    It's gonna be even more survivor sided than last time, which was already super survivor sided, but killer queues will still be 30 minutes because people like the novelty of a Kill With Friends team.

    No, because the devs already screwed the last one up. Instead of sending survivors straight to cages and getting right back into chase/patrol, they wanted to bring pallet/flashlight bailouts to that mode too. I think we're gonna see even more free advantages to survivors on the next round.
