2v8 Lackluster?
I'd love other opinions on the 2v8. Ive started playing since last October so I've only had a few iterations of 2v8. Anyways these are my opinions:
- Killer queue is so bad bc there's not enough survivors. As someone who mains survivor, but enjoys killer in this mode especially, it sucks on both ends.
- BP bonus this time isn't all that enticing. It's 200-300%, I've even seen 100%, whereas before it was 400%. This isnt as good as normal queue with streamers, especially when the normal queue is at 150% because full squad is 550%.
- I know last 2v8 people complained about hooks moving too much so unsure if thats part of the issue or not. However, hooks this time rarely move. I have been full on face camped, as have others, and never moved. I have died to this too much. That coupled with tunneling makes it not fun.
- The killer bugs make even being killer an issue, but not as annoying as survivor imo.
I love 2v8 and am trying to enjoy myself. I just keep hearing about killer queues and wanted to share my opinion as a mostly survivor person. Love to hear others takes!

The novelty has long since worn off. Having it in rotation like every 3 months feels like a forced choice because it would absolutely divide the game's playerbase to unplayable levels for both modes if it were permanent (1v4 vs 2v8). That being said, it's a nightmare to even think of balancing changes to make it more fun so it just ends up feeling like a fever dream while it's live.

I’ve been playing mostly survivor in 2v8 since obviously the killer queues are ridiculously long. The first couple of days it was absolutely miserable because I was going against coordinated Legion/Oni teams basically every match. I’ve seen far fewer of these combos in recent days, and my matches in general have been a lot more fun. I’ve probably escaped 50-60% of the time since the first two days. The main problem now is teammates who are clearly brand new to the game. Blowing up gens, crouching and hiding when killers are clearly chasing other people, getting downed 5 seconds after start of chase, etc.
There are definitely some valid complaints about the unappealing nature of the survivor side, but honestly I’ve been able to have fun for the most part. Survivor has nothing new or exciting, and facing Legion/Oni is pretty miserable. Legion with anny other killer is still super annoying and boring. But, after seeing how bad some of my survivor teammates have been, it’s clear that some of the complaints are probably coming from players who just need to get better at the game.

I'm worried that Behavior is putting all of their eggs in one basket with the new system they have in the works. What if it doesn't solve the queue times? We will realistically have far more people trying to queue as killer for the next one. They need to focus more on making the mode fun because it's getting worse with each new version. Legion for example is universally disliked in this mode. You're sacrificing the fun of 8 people for the sake of 1 person while we already have a major queue problem. It's just going to get worse if you ignore things like this.

Yeah that makes sense. As someone fairly newer to the game I was surprised they kept adding killers to 2v8 base kit of killers. I assumed, and think they should, just add new killers but only for that iteration. For example, Wesker and nemisis shouldn't be in this iteration bc they were introduced in last one. It would add some like sense of uniqueness to each iteration, and for universally hated killers it won't be forever. Legion was so odd since there's so many members who DC in normal mode against that killer, let alone 2v8.
Edit: They could always bring a killer back, different combos, or make one permanent later if there's a lot of love and demand. But I just found it odd to keep adding out the gate.

This one has been the most lackluster one yet, with the killer queues feeling worse than ever.
