Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

2v8 "Opinion"

So 2v8 is my absolute favorite but might i start out by saying.. wow.

the bots are nothing like the bots you get in normal 1v4 the bots in 2v8 are like downright horrid, played 5 matches so far with 2 bots in 4 of those matches than 1 bot in a single match. The bots quite literally refuse to do gens which i found very stramge after the 3rd match but they did heal and do hook saves so thankful for that at least. But now my past 2 matches ive seen the bots like just running back and forth in like a set path and either bugged like that cuz the bot literally did that until hook even when killer (legion) went after him so very odd behavior from the bots i must say.

Now solo Q in 2v8 is pretty depressing too out of the 5 matches ive died twice and escaped 3 times (Hatch all three of those games) seems near impossible to finish all 8 gens even when the game seems to be going on the survivors side it turns around. Also i was the only survivor of those 3 games everyone else had died... i understand solo Q has always been horrible For ive always been a solo Q player.

Love the idea of the Herbs in 2v8 honestly i hope they stick around for it helps even the playing field in my opinion. Love nemesis and wesker being added, not sure if legion was best addition to 2v8 for 2 of my 5 matches we had a legion simple just putting everyone in deep wound and not even downing survivors while a blight was playing clean up and the other match was a wesker cleaning up.

Still very fun game mode but seems survivors have quite the disadvantage this time around. Which makes sense cuz last time it was definitely survivor sided, but now it seems damn near impossible to even get exit gstes moving whatsoever.

I dont expect any fixes this time around but please stop thinking about the competitive side of things and look at the casual player side.

If players are solo Q please put them in casual matches and if people are in SWF group make it more ranked competitive would make soooo much more sense.

Its easy to win when you can communicate with your teammates but i feel like the fact that the game doesnt have voice chat for survivors was to not communicate which obviously makes the game much more challenging. But ore enjoyable in my opinion.

Makes soo much sense in my mind for SWF teams to play ranked and solo Q be more casual. If you make it that way you would have sooooo much more positive reviews on this game and actually he more open to new players.

Ive literally purchased DBD for 4 of my friends now as they have for some there friends as well too and most of them quit after just a few matches simply cuz 10 hour player goes against 1k and up hours played killers and or survivors which they obviously have no chance against and 9 times outta 10 will be extremely bullied and ridiculed in chat in after lobby.. very sad and shameful to have friends whom you hoped would enjoy the game and join me in playing some matches once in awhile just delete and not look back at it.

Dbd is a great game and ive loved it but it has never looked out for new players and the MMR system is horrendous.

    You guys are playing 2v8? Ever since the game mode showed up again I didn't have a match that was't 2v6 on both sides (always 2 bots every lobby in my past 8+ games).
