I've had mutiple matches as surviour in 2v8 where at least 2 surviours are chasing after the killer trying to intentionally go next to what i assume is people trying to get into a killer lobby faster.

It sucks when two people or more in your team just give up and run towards the killer and off themselves. Didn't see did happen at all during other 2v8 iterations in my personal expreinece but is happening fairly common in this iteration of 2v8.

    I don't think it works like that. I think play while you wait literally just does what it says - let you play survivor while the time ticks down on your killer queue like it would have anyway. Dying doesn't get you there any faster - 20 minutes is still 20 minutes.

    You can still go next in the match mid match if the timer said 10 mins and 10 mins have gone by. Ive just had numerous matches where at least two people have run into the killer trying to go next halfway through the game.

    imo timer should not be given and the option to play as you wait is there if the expected que is longer the x amount of time. so people don't know how long it is and it only confirms its ready after the match. Not giving a ETA prior Like a normal lobby.

    something like "que times are long atm would you like to play a match as you wait"

    then if its still long after that first match would be like "you are still further along in the que, would you like to play another surviour match as you wait or continue to wait for a killer match in the lobby"

    I'd say it still doesn't make sense though - why would they even bother going into another survivor match in the first place rather than just waiting a few minutes if they're that impatient to get into a killer match? If it's longer than a few minutes then I don't see how they would be watching the time that closely.

    Personally I'd imagine they just didn't like the killer combo they got, how quickly people went down, the map, or any number of other reasons people go next. I don't think play while you wait is to blame.

    as a killer I'm disappointed by this

    JUST PLAY ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO ACTUALLY TRY PLAYING THE GAME

    I was worried there'd be a bunch of sandbagging killer mains with this system...

    nah i don't agree with that because if people wanted to go next they would do it at the start of the match, in situations ive been having in the 2 v 8 the surviours will be winning alot of the time gen wise but people will still be trying to go next when the match is halfway over.
