Add Play While You Wait and Estimated Queue Time to 1v4
Despite issues early into this 2v8 cycle, Play While You Wait and Estimated Queue Time have both been two hugely welcome additions. PWYW especially is splendid in helping what turned me off from 2v8 - a gigantic killer queue you have to do something else during to sit through.
1v4 shouldn't always need this feature of course, but in instances where a role has a queue over 5-10 mins or so (like a big killer release, or just that one side is more popular), offering to Play While You Wait (with an Estimated Queue Time so ppl can choose if they want to wait or play) in 1v4 feels so obvious I'm surprised it hasn't been announced yet.

Frankly, I wish they would drop 2v8 entirely - every time it releases, killer players may as well step away for a few weeks and play other games because we get this:
Every time 2v8 comes out, it just entirely kills the ability to play killer viably. We are forced to play survivor just to get "credit" - which I get why, but the fact is, every 2v8 release means you cannot play killer consistently. It's a game mode that singlehandedly prevents players from playing killer. We simply don't have the population to handle splitting the game up, and I wish they'd stop cramming it down our throats every few months. Some people then say - "Well, just play 1v4!" but the problem is the queues are also there, too.

I was a big hater of 2v8 because of the queue detriment. This feature solves it. If play while you wait came to 1v4 too I think 2v8 could be a permanent game mode option

Them adding this feature to normal queue and any game mode queue in the future would be a good idea.
2v8 or any other game mode never should be permanent.
