Killer feels powerless and boring on 2v8
Why do Survivor's get triple the base kit that they normally get compared to Killers on this game mode, on demand sprint burst, on demand blast mine, absurd gen speeds, instant heals. Killers get given a selection of M1 killers that feel powerless in comparison and boring, I have survivors healing mid chase when I've only just hit them and then just getting spammed sprint burst not to mention the crazy amount of infinite pallets that they can just respawn?!?
Why do Killer's have their basic powers designed for 1v4 not 2v8?? It takes Nurse about 3 business days to cross the giant maps on 2v8 for example she's useless when she's S-Tier on 1v4. Genuinely the easiest walk in the park game mode for survivors (And yes I am a survivor main saying this). It's honestly laughable how bad killer is in this game mode. Yeah you get the odd duo pair that does well but oml most killers are terrible in this game mode. Buff them all they're all terrible. Hillbilly is like the only decent pick..

Survivor fun has pretty much always dictated this games balance. We shouldn't be surprised.

Survivors won't be happy and keep claiming its boring until they get absurd buffs that makes them stronger than the killer in chase. Pyramid Head barely got anything a small range increase and trails last a bit longer does nothing for him and having to go up against sprint burst on demand is the worst thing.

All my 2v8 matches are too damn intense because survs are giga powered, specially with the braindead crap that is this Sprint Button on demand/button (cocky bastards that think they are great survs, but it's funny that after you catch up with them most can't loop a totem).
I have to tunnel hard because of the stupid comeback mechanic and the fact they double everything EXCEPT gens (only need to do 6 1v4 gens to escape). There's no way to win otherwise.
And talking about the comeback crap survs lately started to abuse it by letting gens 99% and only popping them after some hooks to not get any penalty, which leads killer to tunnel even more.-7 -
Huh? you have blight, wesker, hillbilly, huntress and nurse. All of them can get at least half the hooks sometimes even more in one round alone, and that's not even a problem for the most part.
The killers are really not the problem of 2vs8, they are strong enough in theorie. Problem is that you sometimes drive yourself into losing by getting quickly 12 hooks, most of the time you lose quickly then because you lose 4 gens at once then xD

Is that why killer queue times last a century?

Yeah been saying this since they made sprint burst on demand. Does anyone really find it fun when a survivor can just activate a perk for free distance regardless of skill?

Sadly we have people who enjoy ZERO skill and challenge in any game these days.

2v8 has to be the survivor sided gamemode to keep them playing yeah it suck for Killer but just treat it as a causal chaotic gamemode they could tweak some things like on demand SB or buff the weaker killers like Slinger.
-5 -
Casual is one thing.
Braindead is another totally different. SB on button + having to make 6 1v4 gens is too damn easy.-9 -
I didn’t feel that way. I usually get the 6k with my duo then leave hatch to chance. How were you playing? I know this mode encourages teamwork, but it feels more effective to split up and do your own thing as killer.

Games are too easy as survivor if my team is average. The killers REALLY has to sweat those wins with the average survivor. In “high MMR” matches, wrap it up; the killers are cooked.

PRECISELY THAT!
Just happened now in my last match.Strangely this indeed works better except when the other killer hooks fresh survs before killing 2 or 3, then the stupid comeback makes gens fly and we lose bad.

Some killers are good but trapper,slinger and nemesis are knida loosing from the start and ghostface well he can be good but he is so dam map dependent if you get larrys then you are god like and if you get farm map then its gg for you unless survivors are bad. Other killers are kinda good and woth of waiting for match 20+ minutes but these 4 arent that worth it because games can be though even with strong killers.

There is MMR in this mode? I'm seeing people say High MMR lmao, what
How I see it is you just sometimes get matches where people play better than you, that's okay. It's just more painful coz the queues are really long for killer.
Suck it up and go next, I find I usually kill more when I work with my other killer.
The nurse one is funny coz I just did awful that game, somehow.
But like killer is not weak in this mode lol1 -
I feel like it's very telling to think Nurse is weak.

I say this as someone who plays both sides: the fact that some are complaining that killer side is too hard is probably a good thing given that the queue times are still horrendously long for killer. It’s just a basic fact that we need some people who would normally play killer to either pick survivor side or just not queue up at all if there is going to be any reduction in the killer queue times.
6 -
I don't know why the mentality of 'make the killer side suck so that more people play survivor' is spread around. Ever since the first 2v8, they've been buffing survivor and the queue times never got any better. It has been a whole year of them doing that.
I am not saying killer needs to be giga buffed, but saying that its a good thing that people from one side aren't enjoying the game is completely disrespectful at how others feel about the experience.-9 -
The feedback 2v8 survey is available if you got a problem tell them on there

Already did, but forgot to talk about the damn cages teleporting to open gates.
Crap…0 -
Don't know where people are getting the idea that 2v8 is survivor sided. Are you going up against Ghostface and Trapper duos or something?

The cage thing is a catastrophe to begin with. We shouldn't have a timer on 1st cage. Period.
