Missed the point. No EXP and BP can help 2v8.
Dear BHVR,
No amount of extra EXP or BP will reduce queue times in the 2v8 mode.
It's a great and unique game mode (though I’d personally prefer 5v5), but it has two major issues:
- Survivors struggle against two killers. In the end, each survivor plays for themselves, which turns the standard 1v(1v1v1v1) dynamic into 2v(8×1v1). This makes the experience frustrating – getting hit twice at the same time means going down after just one chase.
- The survivor queue offers nothing new compared to regular matchmaking. Playing as a survivor doesn't feel different from the classic mode, which makes the experience lack variety.
However, there is a solution – though it may not be a popular one:
Increase survivor survivability in 2v1 chases. The easiest way to do this is by giving them additional health states before reaching the critical state.
Killers should be nerfed rather than buffed. 1v1 chases should feel survivor-sided to some extent. (Of course, this must be done carefully to avoid making the mode feel too competitive for killers – after all, it’s supposed to be a fun mode).
Survivor progress should be slowed down. This could be balanced by adding interesting side objectives, such as collecting parts or intentionally provoking chases.
In summary – weaken the survivor TEAM as a whole, but increase the INDIVIDUAL survivor’s chances in a 2v1 chase against a killer. This would create a more balanced and satisfying experience.
Edit. Adjustment of what i had i mind (1v1 changed ino 2v1)

Wow, this is the first "nerf survivors side" post that i actually can agree on. The gens might be going too fast but i do admit, the individual survivor goes down way too fast in this mode. Even when killers are not cooperating, their powers to down survivors are greatly buffed.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the 1v1 chase against killers, its really just the 2v1. I always thought that if they gave you endurance after your first hit that would help the problem. Would not change anything in a 1v1 chase, but nerfs the two tap potentially that makes 2v8 survivor boring as hell.

The 1v1 is already incredibly buffed with the huge amount of connected safe loops and the pallets can be rebuilt.
The gens are also really fast and even if the two killers are on a chase there's 6 survivors who can work on them, so killers can't really commit to chases.

Did you ever play against survivors that have a brain in 2vs8? You'll lose so badly if they actually splitt senseful and use the 8k loops that all blend into each other.
The genspeed in this mode is insane going from the gen is on zero, you check another gen, you come back and on the way it's done. It's so awful to play sometimes.

my issue is legion. flat out refuse to play 2v8 because every match is legion and just perpetual mending. It went from relaxing and fun to the most annoying experience i can imagine.

Okay, maybe i used wrong wording. But thats good point, its not 1v1 chases but 2v1 chases.
