add ghoul please now that's he's been nerfed survivors would appreciate an interactive killer like him over Wraith.
happy killing/surviving everybody!

my only 2v8 feedback is i would like to play legion again in this mode instead of being told "survivors do not like the killer so we are removing them"
-17 -
as a scout lover I'd rather legions be the one running around over wraith tbh. he just denies all auras like Mr. Buzz Killington whereas legion you can light him up like an Xmas tree to help your team pre run him to delay the first hit.

Question: why do you keep bringing 2v8 back if basic issues are still untouched?
Like why the damn cages can still spawn close to opened gates?
This is just an example. There A LOT of other things.-16 -
I'd literally never play the mode again if he was added, right now this is my mode to escape him lmao

I'm having a moment of sprint burst induced delusions. the regular game I'm haunted by sprint burst and Finesse and it's here to haunt me in 2v8 but in super saiyan form

I can understand that, I personally use scout coz I love the pallet rebuilding otherwise I can see how annoying Escapist can be to interact with.

legion wasn’t fun to go against as survivor so you removed it. On demand sprint burst is not fun for killer - when is that getting removed?
3 -
Sadly but on other hand finally they did something they feared to do since 2016, they in their stream said that 2v8 is supossed to be more fun for survivor so kinda survivor sided.
Which clearly states where they aim in this mode.
-1 -
The problem is more that Legions Power just does not work with 2v8. Legions Power is built around getting fast injuries, but having to be a M1-Killer to get downs (aside from the rare occasions where you get 5 Frenzy Hits). But if you add another Killer who then gets to down the Survivors who got injured by an easy first Hit does not work.
They honestly should have never added Legion in 2v8 in the first place.

Oni's power runs out SO FAST, too fast imo. Also idk if this is for everyone but specifically on Spirit, survivor injury sounds sound WAY closer than they actually are by a lot. I thought a Feng was right next to me and she was like 16 meters away.
-1 -
And yet, they still can't pull enough survivors to play it to make the queues not horrendous. So another meaningless 2% buff dressed up in pretty language instead of fixing the actual issues that make survivors not want to play it.
3 -
Maybe that Feng was another cheater just teleporting away… I guess we'll never know since BHVR has done nothing about that particular blight on the game.
1 -
BHVR has recycled yet again. NOTHING new, except that the wesker killer is kill switched because coding broke him, yet you can play him in 2v8. Which lets you see the broken. I love looking at the above "NEW" and seeing nothing but KILLER. BHVR atleast pretend to care about both sides.
2 -
So there is no problem with ghostface using his power and exposing someone only for them to run away and instead of using a vault or a pallet, they just press a button and get on demand sprint burst for free once he is about to get a down. Meanwhile you just wasted your power because someone pressed "F". It's very frustrating and not fun. Just like being injured by a legion then to be downed by their partner.
2 -
This is the issue. The them vs us. Which I only care about my side. If you were actually looking at facts. Then this game is BEYOND killer sided. But there is NO REAL discourse here. It's one side say their opinion and if enough agree then it's fact. NONE OF WHICH BHVR cares about because they keep doing what they do. I would love to do a one for one on it.

So i am confused, where is this option to play in 1v4? is that only in 1v4 itself? If so, might have been nice years ago, but really queue time in normal mode as killer hasn't been an issue for me for awhile now.
0 -
What I want to know is - Can you queue for 1V4 Killer but play 2V8 Survivor while you wait? Or do I have to queue for 1V4 Survivor? I haven't been able to test this myself since I spent all of last night downloading the update. And if not, are there any plans to add this as a choice?
I have zero interest in regular 1V4 Survivor anymore but I would probably play some 2V8 while I wait to play Killer if I had the chance to queue for it.
Tbh, I normally wouldn't play 1V4 at all during 2V8 but with my main Killer now removed from the mode, I don't have a choice if I still want to play Killer.

Expose for 30 seconds is nothing unless that survivor has like spirit or wesker,wraith behind him.
Sprintburst on command counters like half of the killers in 2v8 which lack the power to catch up fast with mobility in some form so unless you play wraith,nurse,spirit,wesker,billy,blight,dracula or powered oni you have no chance against sprintburst user he will get away from you when he wants or needs and if you leave him he will (if he wont be running) have it again in 30 seconds plus he gives sprint to other survivors around him.
Thats why I refuse to play any killer I didnt mention above because waiting 30 minutes for game just to be countered by one effect that usualy runs like half of the survivor team is nuts and very fun.
Playing killers that cant catch up with their power sprintburst user arent worth playing especialy when the cooldown for this is so low and its haste is shared with other survivors that are around him.
Hate it but thats just pure fact.

Oni is still boring as all heck in this mode, the change did nothing. Still always has power. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
IDK what it is about this game but its just not fun facing killers who have high mobility and damage coz the hit always reads badly on the recieving end. Your servers are awful, show killer ping in lobby.0 -
So in other words, a limited time game mode that comes out every couple of months, there's absolute extraordinary nothing
just 2 minor changes for deathslinger and oni, a buff to survivors anti camp, two new maps, that's literally it
no new killers added for 2v8, not even a new class role, no adjustments to other class roles, brute class still being one of the worst class for killer, absolute nothing
I know it's popular for casual players, but if there's really nothing new to the mode it gives me no incentive to even try it out especially when queue times are severely long as killer especially around normal 1v4 matches

I’ve been playing this game since 2019. I have the hours to prove I’m not a one sided killer (I’ll upload a screenshot of my stats that shows my username). This game is not Killer sided. It’s not even survivor sided. It’s based on your skills and how well you mind game.
However there are some perks that don’t require any skill at all. This includes on-demand sprint burst. I will and have before admitted that it’s the one class I always use as survivor because of how strong it is (like how I would pick legion as killer) but when I’m killer, it’s very frustrated and broken. Even though I use it all the time as survivor I can also see how it’s a problem and needs to be reworked in 2v8. As someone who mainly played legion in 2v8, I can see and agree he should have been removed because he was frustrating to go against as survivor.
It still baffles me that this is still thing because I have seen a lot of people complain about how unfun it is as killer like how legion was unfun for survivors. It needs to go.

Aren't there other events they can bring to the game instead of 2v8? what happened to lights out for example? I just want something different as I feel that the 2v8 mode had kinda overstayed its welcome. What about a prop hunt mode or something? Also I just remembered that one of the trailers or streams for the anniversary event (last year?) showed a killer (the wraith I think) with a 3rd person camera, imagine the survivors being in the first person perspective while the killers have third person camera that's different and new.

Theres class with sprintburst on command with 30 seconds cooldown if you dont run and it counters all killers even powered oni unless you run straight.
Logicaly people want to have some fun as killer too in 30 minutes cue time so they logicaly pick killers that are fun and worth that cue time and tbh all without mobility are craped on by single sprinburst user using single key so I get why everyone plays someone with mobility especialy when maps are way more bigger and gens go fast the more hookes/ cages killer have.

I don't play with Sprint Burst, I literally say earlier I understand why people don't like it
And people can have fun as killer, I play Huntress a lot in 2v8 or Dracula and have no issue. No on in their right mind would play Solo Trapper in 2v8, which I see too many streamers do then complain.0 -
I play as trapper in solo queue 2v8. The key is placing traps randomly on the map. Always works because no one expects it. Also fun to have an on demand sprint burst run into one of your random traps during chase. Plus I get to be naked guy from AOT. He’s a good counter to spring burst that’s not high mobility - not great, but not bad.

I have grat games as medic and Im alone not with friend which is main part how to medic to tank hits with your buddy and use both power to heal instantly and take another two bodyblocks unless killer can hit multiple survivors or instadown but even then this isnt happening often.
I dont play huntress the amonth of crap on she takes in this mode with sprintburst its no worth it especialy when there are often tall loops that are rounded and she can be looped there alone for very long time, drac is fun I get it but still my best is with nurse or billy.
I dont have problem with oni he is strong if he gets power often due to survivors no healing and giving him hits but gens are flying here so its just matter of time and teams effort before gates are on and oni cant do much, even when looping him I dont have problems with him.

"tank hits" Yeah that's swell but when you have a killer in a one shot power thats easy to land constantly, yeah it's kind of a problem can't really use that tanking hits idea there.
She doesn't get crapped on by sprint burst, sure if you are trying to throw during the sprint, but she makes up for her slow speed with range, which there is a lot of open maps in 2v8, I love zoning with my hatchets while the co-killer capitalises on it. Try working with the other killer more, I'd rather have fun chases than play gen defence all game, it's not what she is good at she is too slow for map control.
It has nothing to do with not healing, survivors IN CHASE drop blood and there are 2 killers, so twice the amount of blood than 1v4, then there is the blood from downs/hooks he gets too. It's not that simple, again people forget how different 2v8 is.0 -
One shot on oni is earnerd and doesnt last forever while slugging isnt that great on him there either, if he playes down-pick up then he will have small cage numbers and its not hard to focus on gens I have beat oni+ other strong killer so many times even one game oni plus nurse we began bad and got first gen on 6 cages and still beat then to 4 survivors out almost 5 but one guy got entitled and didnt kept on exit line so its not so hard as survivors this mode is for them, billy isnt much played how hard he is and even with oneshot he isnt that op.
She is beaten by distance and on maps wheres lot of high clutter and objects sprint makes survivors super safe against her, she is one of most easy to loop alone killers in whole 2v8 tbh even ghostface can be harder to loop due to 5% haste on higher loops where revealing him isnt easy or possible. Huntress is super vanila in 2v8 she has just bit speed and more axes but on so big maps with lot of clutter and high wall loops where her axes doesnt do much she is left behind a lot, I had more success with prebuffed slinger or pyramidhead than her and I wasnt even that bad so she realy isnt that great people forget she fell off a lot since 2018 and for me kille with no mobility isnt worth of 20+ minutes queue time unless you are maniac who mains that killer and goes through this time waste and pain then latter in match because of the love to that killer.

Thats no surprise for me when you add killer that can spread fast injures in chains better than any other killer especialy when multiple survivors are cluttered in one location and then that same killer can be combined with other killer who has very strong power like nurse,blight or easier first hit requirement in 2v8 like wraith.
Everyone wet when 2v8 wernt out and people had duos on their minds like huntress+slinger or bubba+billy or mayers+ghostface but I always wondered what about legion+oni or legion+nurse/blight I thought this combo would be nuts and him being added due to resident evel skin prooved it I just hope they dont add plague at this point.
Fact is legion was so popular that at time killers like nemesis or ghostface were playable much more then today because he took one hit and they could do the rest alone but now its hell especialy with sprint on command so only viable killers are the ones with power to catch up to the survivors fast and which have funnily some antiloop which all of them that can catch up here have.

"One shot oni is earned" Except it literally isn't, if the other killer uses their power to injure survivors Oni benefits, then it's all a snowball from there. Again people talk about killers like its 1v4. Any smart oni would go with their co killer and get their blood that way.
1 -
Nothing burger changes. No new content.
Still seeing Oni almost every match zzzzz. The "nerf" is just a slap on the wrist. With wesker killswitched, Billy is also extremely popular with shadow snipes which isn't exactly fun.
0 -
Oni cant cage 3 people in one use if the other one isnt teaming or they were super close when he downed them remember slugging in 2v8 isnt best thing to do and its easy to get out of as survivors.
Billys oneshot is earned he is same as in 1v4 only diference is hes go boots addon and the one that reduces bump penalty stun but he is actualy weaker then 1v4 because there he has his carborator engravings that gave him speed.

can bhvr weigh in on what the intended counter to escapist's dash is? it can be used unconditionally mid chase so m1 killers basically just cant land an attack when it's up
0 -
What is all that bs, just put 8 NORMAL survivors and 2 NORMAL killers, what's with all these trash powers

It's really a shame that Trickster wasn't added.
