Would a PVE gamemode be possible?
Over the last few years BHVR has been experimenting with limited time game modes, some have been a success in terms of popularity like 2v8 or spices up the gameplay like Chaos Shuffle. PVE in DBD is tricky to say the least, would this be killer vs killer? Survivor vs Survivor vs Killer? It would be a interesting experiment, but i'm not sure if it would be a succesful in terms of gameplay and figuring out how survivor facing other survivors would play out. If BHVR were to experiment with a PVE type gamemode would you be up to try it or should BHVR just stick to PVP gamemodes?

Pve means players vs environment, so like players vs bots.
An example of a pve mode would be like 4 killers queing up to kill a whole horde of bots or 4 survivors quing up to try and sneak through gauntlet style maps trying to evade bot killers to escape. Its usualy against a computer of some kind.
Left 4 dead's main gameplay was pve as a combination of these 2 things^ while it also had a pvp mode where the players could also be the opposing special infected in place of the bots.
The community made killer has some kinda obstacle course where the survivors get sent to another area and have to collect things while avoiding beams of light. Since they arent against a player in there its kinda pve.

I'm just no realizing i articulated this whole post wrong. Gosh i gotta stop writing these when i'm tired. Anyway yeah now that i'm thinking about it i'm not sure how bot killers vs survivors would go now that i'm thinking about it.

I always thought that 2v8 should be a PvE-mode. Obviously with better Bots so that it is not too easy and boring for the Killer players, but it would solve the queue time issue, because players could actually play together without having to wait minutes to get into a game.

Right you described wanting PvPvP when PvE is just players against bots

I'd like to see a 4v16 mode with the whole Legion gang.
Obviously it would have to be against 16 Survivor bots, because there's not enough BP or Iri shards in the Entity's realm to bribe Survivor players to play against 4 Legions. Not sure exactly how it might work, but I think it could be fun.

Legion vs. a horde of zombies mode.

I wouldn't mind going against Killer bots. There's a lot of Killers I struggle against, but have no reliable way to practice against them. I'd just have to rely on random encounters and then fail hard again and not really learn anything…

good version of PvE would be a cod zombie mode BUT with dredge monsters .
3 killers 3 suriviors vs dredge and his minons .
mostly range killers , suriviors have to loop and work on gens to set up traps, and heal other suriviors and downed killers.
killers most defend suriviors , kicking the fully powered gens to reset them ,clear the waves be the main damage dealers against dredge and his boss monsters .
it would be mainly range killers.they have to come up with a new map , 4 new monster models based around dredge , a boss monster to go along with dredge .
they could use these new monster or new skins .

Can be better than nothing but one bog reason why you may struggle against them is fact that you dont face them often, if you would play against them very often I bet you would get way better in countering them.
Another thing about bots they dont often do kind of plays a real players do like huntress bot only has hatchet up when she has clear line of sight but that if that los is broken she just goes brainlesly after you in situations where real player would charge hatchet and held angel on you the bot would just wind up hatchet and put it down or no mind games from bots or tricks and techs just more of clasic killer chasong you down with brute forcing everything, as I said better than nothing but like smaller half of what you can lear to counter against these killers not to mention they often dont miss things like dashes on wesker if you are in reach or dont expect doge on sound cues like on huntress ( they throw at you and dont expect even simple doge to left and things like this real player does), but still better than nothing at worst you will see these killers against you more than 3 times per year.

Yeah, that is true, and I've also been playing a lot less in general. I also know that different players could play the same Killer in different ways, so that just reinforces my point about not having a reliable way to practice against them. But the bots would be better than nothing…
