What else is not fun for one side on 2v8?

With Legion being gone because it wasn't fun for survivors even though it was fun for killers (as stated on the stream) - what else would you like to see removed from 2v8 because it's only fun for one side and awful for the other side?

I'll go first. ON DEMAND SPRINT BURST. I still don't understand why this is still a thing.

I use it as survivor because it's fun but when I play killer it's an awful feeling when you're about to down someone exposed as ghost face and they sprint burst during the middle of a normal run just before a hit.

    I'll be completely honest, for me Sprint Burst almost singly-handedly ruins 2v8. It's already infuriating enough in normal 1v4, but having to deal with a buffed version of it is absolutely tiring.

    I understand why sprintburst is used as much as it is. Especially now with the amount of hyper lethal killers that basically only allow shift w.

    Against killers like Pig, Ghosty or the like however, it just feels really bad.

    What annoys me most in 2v8 is how bad Pyramid head feels. Especially when compared to Nemesis.

    His cages do next to nothing and he greatly suffers from sprintburst on command.

    If we're talking about my personal preferences, I'd see Spirit, Oni and Wesker binned from the mode. There's absolutely nothing fun about facing any of these Killers in 2V8. Maybe Huntress as well if I'm feeling grumpy, because during the first iteration of 2V8 she was in every single game and I got so sick of seeing her.

    That said, I don't think anything should be removed from 2V8. It's still utterly ridiculous to me that the non stop complaining about Legion lead to their eventual removal. I lost a lot of my respect for the player base and BHVR as a result of that decision, tbh.

    I liked that both sides could see which class the opponents had. Now I get that this could increase tunneling of some sort, but I feel like the added value of better knowing what you were up against outweighs that. Tunneling in 2vs8 happens but rarely enough that I don't see it as a major issue

    i was gonna roll my eyes at this thread but no i agree with this guy. i literally keep forgetting pyramid head is in 2v8 because its so pointless to queue up as him. you dont provide much value to your team mate yourself, you are extremely slow, you dont have perks to work around so prediction shots are blind or done via aura provided by your team mate (can work as a duo but unreliable in solo queue). it generally feels pretty hard to lay down pressure as him, which makes the reward of your quick mori feel so far out of reach.

    For survivor, Oni, but he's about to be nerfed so we'll see how it is next time around.

    For killer, the on-demand Sprint Burst is pretty frustrating imo for non-mobility killers
