Round 1 is looked balanced for both sides.

Round 2 is a little survivor sided because killer get nerfed in this round.

Round 3 is become a more survivor sided with yellow herb and generator is so fast.

What do you think about 2v8 in the round 4?

    More balanced but it still leans towards survivor.

    Fun wise though, survivor is less enjoyable this time I feel. Especially with Legion + Oni alongside the removal of herbs

    And Ghostface being so weak and less fun than his 1v4 version makes me not want to play killer either, so honestly not enjoying this interaction that much haha.

    more survivor sided, but less fun for survivor role overall because it just feels less and less interactive. You can literally pump gens so fast and leave, but honestly what's the fun there? Chases are basically nonexistent because it's either Legion every match just playin hit & run or killers grouping up to take you down.

    Same as usual and as 1v4. If survivor side is of above average level then it's heavily survivor-sided. If not then it's heavily killer-sided.

    let me put this way. with bother waiting 30 mins for a game thats over in less then 5 minutes when you can play the normal mode and have a chance. Unless you play meta killers in 2v8.

    Why would it be any different? It's the same stale mechanics and lacks any semblance of balance as the main game.

    I don't even know what balance in the traditional sense would look like for 2V8 (or that it really matters all that much for the mode). There's no apparent MMR and so many broken and ridiculous things in 2V8, it would be impossible to balance seriously. I think that's more or less the point of it. It's not serious at all.

    I guess I would say it's very slightly Survivor sided, but a competent Killer duo with a game plan playing complementary Killers will probably still win most of their trials.

    Its more survivor sided. I've noticed i have harder time if theres many guides. Gens go so fast killers can't keep up, + all those god pallet loops.

    Its a fun gamemode though so im still having fun playing killer even if i lose.

    It feels more balanced overall, but still a bit on the Survivor side unless you're playing Oni+Legion or a meta Killer and you're good at them.

    It's objectively survivor sided compared to 1v4, not sure about another round of 2v8 though

    It's only made "balanced" by survivors who refuses to do gens at all

    At least they should remove pallet reconstruction as that only leads killers to play nurse/legion/blight/huntress and all those "skip pallet" killers

    Still a bit "Survivor-sided" but generally it is still miserable playing Survivor in the gamemode since we have seen no additional classes get added to 2v8 Survivor.

    I mean, I guess the Fog Crystals are cool and fun, but just like Green/Yellow Herbs, they are a one-off gimmick that holds no meaningful value to the gamemode whatsoever. It does not help that you have to search Chests to get them, which means that they arent even guaranteed and have limitations in terms of supply.

    Feels very survivor sided, but at the same time less fun on survivor. I think the class system instead of perks was a bad idea as it ruins one of the main fun components which is perk building. Also, the inherent nature of 8 survivors significantly increases the chance of getting potatoes. Barely anyone is using smoke bombs that I've seen as well.

    Ghostface is also way too weak for this version.

    Still leans towards survivor as long as people commit to doing gens they get done an some of the team mates are dreadful they can't loop for anything. Seems you need multiple people to be afk, throw, troll etc for killers to have a chance.
    2nd and 3rd 2v8 i recorded all my survivor games an made stats an 70% of games every gen gets done.
    Will post my results once this 2v8 is over an if anyone wants to see my full stats list from the previous 2v8 send me a message an I'll link you the thread.

    Without the catchup mechanic, I guarantee the queue times would be better as killers would get frustrated and quit.

    Playing other killers than Oni Legion you have to sweat pretty hard with routine slugging and hook harassment.
