Taking into consideration Licensing, Killer Powers, and In Game Stability Performance. Here’s my thoughts on who wil be added into the 2v8 Killer Pool the next time it goes live.

    i’m still shocked that unknown, doctor, knight and clown haven’t been added yet. all of their associated maps are in the 2v8 mode and it seemed that the devs were gonna add the killers and their respective maps as one since dead dawg came when deathslinger was added - same with spirit and family residence.

    I think Doctor more so or less is probably because of his power and it’s large area of affect. He’d get a lot of value out of it like Legion

    probably, to balance it i’d probably just say halve the time it takes to snap out of it. with all the aura reading that goes on in 2v8, i don’t think doctors static blast would be a problem.

    They're trying to get as many people online as possible, for example: Wesker and Nemesis, Oni and Ghost Face, Dracula and Pyramid Head. So I think it'll continue, and we can probably expect Springtrap and/or Ghoul, as they're both pretty popular

    The final season of Stranger Things and the Alien movie are coming out, so those are also options

    Real talk idk why they didn't just go in order from old to new killers?

    if the next chapter is ST part 2, I’m 100% sure we will get a Stranger Things 2v8 in the future with both demo and vecna

    money. ever since the resident evil 2v8, every time new killers get added it’s always a licensed version. we’ll probably get original killers added in but as side characters to the licensed 2v8 like legion and oni.

    I think characters that directly add new gameplay elements ie freddy, xeno are unlikely to appear due to the extra work it would take to get all the features loaded.

    The moment Kaneki get's added this mode dies for real.
    I really love the possibility to play with a friend as killer and hope they do a "Disney" 2v8 adding Xenomorph and Chucky to the roster, but if things don't truly change I'm not playing the next iterations.
    The atrocity that is this comeback mechanic that is now being really abused by survivors (this is the reason you see 2 to 4 gens pop at the same time so often), the fact that they need to repair only 6 1v4 gens and, mostly, the lack of new classes or anything meaningful for survs to make them wanting to play to heavily impact the killer queues.
    All this should be addressed along the damn cages that keep teleporting survs close to opened gates.

    There's no way there adding Ghoul to 2v8 he'll get removed just like legion

    Freddy would need more clocks and pallet spawns, Xeno tunnels expanded tailored for every map and turret holes and turret spawns it'll take alot of work plus they still need permission from license holders

    Hope so because he's much worse than Legion.
    I've just mentioned this because OP included this crap into the "Maybe" tier.

    My friend and i wanted to duo skull merchant and trickster. Im guessing they will save xeno for an avp 2v8 if predator gets added

    I think springtrap is more likely than we think. Sure he's still pretty new, but he's also popular, balanced and has an entire fanbase tethered to him. If BHVR made a big enough deal about him we could see some of those fnaf streamers returning to promote the game.

    Not to mention scott is not a difficult license holder to deal with.

    Given the response Legion got, I don't think there are many more Killers that BHVR can add to the mode without the player base rioting again.

    I think Unknown, Myers, Artist, Demogorgon, Vecna, Houndmaster and Bubba would be relatively uncontroversial additions. Curious why you think Demo and Bubba are unlikely. Is it because of licensing issues? Springtrap will probably be in eventually, but may take more work with his control room doors.

    Krasue and Ghoul could easily be added without needing many buffs, but would they be welcomed? Probably not. Same goes for other easy to add Killers that have their haters (Plague, Trickster, Skull Merchant, Chucky, Doctor, Knight and Clown). I can't see Pig or Sadako ever being added. Having to return video tapes and remove head traps with another Killer on patrol will make mending from Legion's deep wound feel fun by comparison.

    Like others have said, I think BHVR will prioritise licensed Killers so they can flog some more content. Same as when they added Legion with the Resi chapter to sell more Hunk skins. They can always remove them at a later date if they get a poor reception.

    On the other hand doctor would be mid there as best but they would need to give him more addons like both iri basekit there plus the raange and both discipline addons to make him even solid mid killer there or he would end up as slinger, nemesis without this (basicaly same as 1v4 with few addons that arent even his best),bigger big shock range so he can spread his madness across the survivors easily with huge maps. He would be good with his antiloop on those long wall loops that are strong but against him arent that much but still he would have only chase not crazy mobility or slowdown because his madnes is just not slowing down survivors as mending or weskers infection or remowing trappers traps.

    Knight I dont know how to make him viable in 2v8 because i doubt he could spawn 2 guards without one calling out other (I doubt it would worked its harder to do then adding dash killer with multiple dashes one more) so they would need to buff his guards massively to be able to make him playable in 2v8 where are 100 pallets that are strong and easy to loop with other tens of windows plus escapist class that gives sprintburst to everyone which are things that would burry knight alive in this mode so his guards would need to be buffed and hard buffed like assasin double chase time or 120 speed because his current one in 1v4 wont do much in 2v8 and get rid of 3x dissapearence of guard when knight is close to him while the guard is in chase.

    Clown can be easily buffed by having cigar box basekit plus just speed buffs to his bottles (hinder to purple one) plus increased number of max bottles with slightly faster reload speed.

    I dont think many get what legion did so let it call again, he basicaly injured majority of the survivor team and many survivors were injured the 50%-80% of the whole match doesnt sound bad so letts add the next thing that made legion so good of a staller who not only slowed teams with his increased need of healing but he mostly was played with other killers that are strong on their own and can have fast chase even without the help of a legion so nurse,blight,spirit,huntress,wesker (we are speaking here about killers 2v8 versions not the 1v4 so I hope no one will hate me calling huntress simular in getting hits as blight,nurse) then killers that can get first hit fast from stealth like wraith and even ghostface or any shadow class user and the helping killers like oni to get his power way more often and basicaly kepping him like more than half of the game in power without oni needing to hit survivors with his m1 to optain his power, lastly he helped even weaker killers like trapper or slinger to have faster chases by just needing to hit 1 m1 instead 2 which doesnt sound super good but its actualy good so legion was killer that could injured many survivors (near whole team after his nerf, his first 2v8 version could even injure whole survivor team if they werent across the map) in short period of time compare to even blight,nurse so yeah he was very strong tteammate almost for everyone like nemesis is probably secon maybe worst killer in 2v8 but what legion does to him? he makes his m2 (his whip,tenticle) more viable because now nemi just needs tier 2 to just decide destroy pallet and down injured survivors with m1 or hit them 2 times with his m2 compare to hitting them 2 times with m1 or 3 times with his m2 attack which is huge difference that is clearly seen in the match when you played nemesis with legion.

    For me I didnt count it but fdrom what I seen as survivor there are less wins from killers now and I believe is mostly by legion missing plus having escapinst class to have now sprintburst (his power from class) on comand by pressing e just like old dead hard but its sprint now and you can use it even when you arent injured and ive this effect to other survivors. I havent met match where I would have to worry to be not able play guide,scout,medic class because lobby would be full of them but I saw 4 escapist in survivor lobby like 90% of my matches and when I tried it (because I need ded to done some challange from archives) it was like 50% chance to not be able to play as escapist class because lobby I was connected to was already full of them. I see way more survivors getting out and more draws then killers dominating matches and even if they play well they still hardly get 4-5 k so yeah legions missing from 2v8 had impact of the outcomes of my matches compare to previous 2v8 modes i would say.

    I still think he wont cause so many injures as legion because ghoul can actualy do something other than just injure survivors easily and thats all which means he can travel across the map and chase down survivors more and better than legion.

    In 2v8 matches, did they nerf survivors and now killers win more? Are they favoring killers more now? If they want more survivors to play, they should let them win more, but they're doing the opposite. That Wesker is way too strong, while Ghostface is easier to beat. Oni is also hard to win against, but a Wesker + Nurse combo is impossible. If they want more survivors, they need to nerf the killers because it's frustrating to play against them when they always win. At the beginning when I played solo, my win rate was 60/40, but now it's become 25/75 and I barely play anymore because I either get matched against tough killers or the survivors become selfish and don't do anything—they just save themselves and that's it. By the way, the Escapist class should benefit everyone, but it only benefits themselves. It should work so that if you have one or more survivors near you, they can also see pallet auras, not just benefit the Escapist alone. So many matches with up to 4 Escapists who literally don't do anything
