2v8 ruined by the worst killer choice

Today was a long day at work, and I just got home (midnight in Europe) to try out the 2v8 mode. I think adding Nemesis and Wesker is pretty cool. But adding the most annoying killer in the entire game is a disaster and a reason for me to skip this event.
I mean, seriously, Legion is the biggest noob stomper in DBD. Killer players without game sense pick Legion just to have a chance against unexperienced survivors. Nobody likes the mending simulator – it’s just frustrating. I’m honestly mad at the devs for ruining 2v8 with this killer.
I tested the mode, and of course, I immediately got a Nemesis + Legion duo. The match was a total disaster and an easy win for the killers.
I barely play DBD anymore as it is, but maybe after eight years, it’s time to say goodbye for good.
Yeah, I’m pissed and just need to vent right now. It’s absolutely no fun, and I feel sorry for all the other survivors – and that’s coming from someone who mainly plays killer…

Even if you gave me 20,000% more Bloodpoints, I would still avoid this mode, seriously! Is it so hard to understand that Legion is absolutely broken in a 2v8?

Mending is faster in 2v8. I play Legion specifically because they appeal to killers with game sense but it's deflating seeing people just camp pallets and give me easy stabs. People spook too easily and don't stun.
People should be playing more Medic. All that work to stab people can be erased by one Medic duo

you guys overreact to anything 🤣

Legion in a 1v4 is extremely annoying when playing with inexperienced survivors, but he's not overpowered in it. But in a 2v8, he's just plain frustrating. He can injure every survivor effortlessly while the better/stronger killer takes care of the rest.

Legions is broken in this mode, none of the abilities or aura reveals should happen when in feral frenzy its just a joke.
Stand still in these matches, this killer needs to be adjusted with the mechanics or just kill switched.

You have auras too your scouts should be on top of Legion revealing them and rebuilding pallets. Legion spree is also countered by 2 button pushes from the medics

Yea let me just coordinate 2 medics(players) to use a COOLDOWN ability and hope they have it.
You are essentially asking for soloQ to STB/Reassurance correctly.Do you play survivor at all ?

Wow, I guess there are a lot of Legion haters out there…
(for me personally, Wesker, Spirit, Huntress, Nemi and Blight are way less fun to face in 2V8, but to each their own)
What about adding an "anti-Legion" class?
Maybe something like Resilience / Smash Hit / Inner Focus / Made For This could work pretty well. Dead Hard might be a good choice for the build too, though obviously less useful against a Legion.
There really should be more Survivor classes anyway, focused around different play styles.

Please no BS perks in this mode (DH being one of them).

I doubt he's even OP, he's probably just annoying.
I don't think anyone enjoys mending
5 -
He is very strong as a support-esque character in 2v8, easily making people injured for the other killer to down quickly. With Nurse or blight they are VERY broken
7 -
he isn't broken in any means, but is absolutely tremendously boring to play against (boring to play as too imho). It's even really ridiculous that BHVR ignored the fact that community widely hates Legion as killer and decided to add them simply because RE cosmetic.
7 -
The only thing I really don't like in this mode with Legion is when one of the killers using Shadow class causes Legion to frequently not have a terror radius so it's pretty easy to blend in amongst the 8 survivors

Its all about them dollas for these devs. They do not care one bit about the health of the game nor the satisfaction of the community. If they did, they would not have put either bots or Legion in this time around. They're worse than American health insurance companies.
BHVR, think things through just once this year. Just once. Take feedback from the community to heart, make changes, make the game healthy AND FUN again and stop ruining everything.

Yeah adding mending simulator to 2v8 just because he has a Hunk cosmetic wasn't one of their better ideas.
6 -
Who get's to decide what's BS and what isn't? (The answer is BHVR, obviously).
Base-kit no where to hide is BS if you like to play with a more stealth orientated play style. The entire mode if full of BS things and that's probably part of the point of it.
Some people just hate Legion. Short of completely changing them, there's nothing BHVR could do to the Killer that would make them more tolerable to those players, whatever mode they happen to appear in.

skill issue…

I do, in fact i take 2v8 pretty seriously

Scout is anti-Legion class…
You can rebuild pallets, which means you always have pallet nearby to just stand under and stun him out of Frenzy.1 -
Kind of, but not really.
If you've got great ping, that's fine. But some of us play with 60ms + and there's no way you're not getting hit with that most of the time. I mean, you should still try to stun them anyway because you're likely to be hit either way. I think it's usually better to pre run or just to stay away from a Legion in frenzy (and the aura read from Inner Focus would help with that).
Besides, I've always felt like rebuilding pallets should be The Escapist's thing. Scouts should have something Stealth related instead, like short range team aura blocking for a limited time.

"Uh i don't like Legion so they should never have been added to 2v8"
The entitlement of this community sometimes is astounding

Find it funny when people keep talking about pallets like anyone that plays these delinquent teen killers doesn't always 100% respect pallet unless they using boring julie mix tape. What i do with them in either mode is camp lockers and just as I know they gonna swing.
I hop in letting them hit the locker and you can still get distance that ways since frenzy fatigue unlike stupid bubba that i can never get the hop in locker timing vs him though ofc if the legion ping is mcdonalds connection that dont work either.
Anyways them even getting hunk skin instead of one of the male survivors really pisses me off as a re vet. In the end like knight/skull merchant and a few other killers their kit has always has been braindead boring.

Can't really fault them.
He's always had horrendous design and BHVR has never committed to really changing them away from Mending.

Every Wesker seems to have awful ping too. Why are players with 500 ping allowed in my games? I was getting rewind sucked back in time to last Tuesday every time he used power.
3 -
there's no way you're not getting hit with that most of the time.
I am fine with gettting hit for it. There is not really a risk to it when there is no chance for Enduring.
Still way better than the alternative, where I get hit anyway, but also other survivors will get hit…
Besides, I've always felt like rebuilding pallets should be The Escapist's thing.
That wouldn't really be balanced. Huge buff for Escapist and Scout would be kinda useless.
Current way is better. There is use for all classes imo.
I usually play Scout whenever I am soloQ and Medic when I go duo (for instaheal in chase → super broken)
1 -
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
Scout is my favourite class. I think they should have the ability to hide right under the Killer's noses without the risk of being revealed by aura reads, hence the idea for a Distortion like ability. I don't think that would be useless with all the aura reading Killers get in 2V8. Re-building pallets is fun, but it just doesn't suit the idea behind the class in my opinion.
4 -
If scout was what you are saying, I would see it as valid reason to dodge lobbies with multiple scouts.
It would be simply selfish class bringing nothing for the team.
0 -
I don't want to reopen the whole Distortion nerf discussion again or the argument over whether or not DBD is a "team game", but being able to hide other Survivor's auras for a limited time would bring something for the team.

I get why people hate Legion in this mode. They are not really balanced for 2vs8 and ahouldnt exist like this.
But holy moly are they fun. The amount of speed you get towards the last hits of frenzy just feels awsome.

Hey, I'll take the Legion in 2v8 over The Plague. That many sick survivors constantly cleansing? Infinite Vommy Mommy

Legion is the least of my issues with this mode rn, but I'd love to see Legion reworked period as I'd like to enjoy Robbie Rabbit and HUNK.
2v8 is ruined by Behaviours ignorance of trying to make changes in the background like forcing 6 man lobbies to harm solo queue, acting like they are right when people are flooding the forums telling them this is outright awful.
Who on earth is going to want to play survivor when you're going out of you way to make it a worse experience overall. You are encouraging 8 man SWF's.
Literally NOBODY is streaming 2v8 right now out of your creators, no one wants to play it other than killer, and you STILL give no incentive.
I am so disappointed.3 -
All I know is that it feels SO GOOD to play without DS, DH and Pain Res in EVERY MATCH S2
Also not having to worry about NOED and Blood Warden when gens get done.0
