The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

Play while you wait should be obvious proof
I see a lot of "This is bad for killers" and "killers will quit if.." etc.
The fact that they had to add play while you wait shows more people want to play killer than survivor.
Adding this feature rather than acknowledging soloQ is miserable is a problem.
Even if survivor is favored in 2v8, killers still want to play it. Even to the extent que times are massive compared to 1v4. I can only guess, but, people are tired of the sweaty play style.
The chaos of 2v8 is more fun.
More people play during 2v8. Simple fact.
The whole "I have to win" comp play is boring meta trash.
I want to use perks that screw with the psychology of survivors as killer.
I want my survivor perks to actually be use full.
I understand the difficulty of balancing a non-symmetrical game. I also understand the killer role should be slightly more due to the genre however, when it becomes oppressive and a boring slog for both sides; it's a problem.
Elephant in the room is there are more killers in the morning and more survivors in the evening.
Survivor role tends to be more relaxed.
Some of us are tired at the end of the day and just want to play for fun.
The sweat is tiresome. It was never meant to be that way.
2v8 should be the permanent casual version. imo

The queues are always a perfect example of why 2v8 should never be added permanently.
No one wants to wait half an hour for one killer match.
Additionally, with 2v8 being a 2-4 week thing that comes every once in a while, it retains a bit of novelty. You lose that if it's a permanent addition

Except it will be a permanent addition eventually they ain't putting in this work just for it to be a montly mode forever

Or simply avoid 1v4 and just play when 2v8 or other events are on. Plenty of folks do that. I can't see 2v8 becoming permanent while it affects queue times as badly as it

BHVR have admitted they can't even put most of the game's Killers into 2V8. It will remain popular so long as it's a limited time mode but let's be realistic about its future, 2V8 has already come to the end of the road. So long as new players are still joining the game it will have a player base, but to everyone else it will begin to feel stale before too long. Killer is more popular because it's a novel experience to team up with another Killer and I think that's probably the main appeal for most who enjoy it.
I don't even think it's true to say it lacks the sweat of 1V4. After all, you double the top tier Killers and you double the sweat (especially if they're both competent with their Killer and/or a KWF on comms). I've had some 2V8 trials be the biggest one-sided Survivor/Killer stomps of my DBD career.

SMH.
Que times are longer because more people WANT to play killer.
Easier to find survivors to smack.
Less chance of bullying due to insta hook.
Faster killer movement and power speed.
Less BM due to risk and less BM due to trying to save everyone. I know I'm not going to the other side of the map if I'm at an open exit gate.
It's a more chill killer experience.
And no, not all killers can be in this mode cuz DUH! Killers with "stations" like pig, onryo, alien,etc have to be coded into the maps. We only got 2 new maps since the last 2v8. They are not going to code a killer for these larger maps they already have to code.-4 -
It's kinda hard to gage based on queues. During 2v8, I end up playing a whole ton of survivor in that mode. Not because I want to, but because the queue times and matchmaking in 1v4 are a mess. I'm sure there are others like me, who don't actually want to play 2v8 but just resign themsleves to it.
I'm on the game right now. There's a 2.5 bonus for 2v8 killer and a 1.75 for 1v4 killer. 1v4 killer is 5min wait. In both modes, there aren't enough people who want to play survivor just in general.

A lot of people who don't play killer normally only play killer in 2v8

I will never get over the fact that Behavior put Legion in 2v8, and then just decided to remove him forever instead of actually finding a way to make him enjoyable. They were also mystified by the thought of Dredge/Trickster/Huntress interacting with lockers together, which I think shows where their heads are at. I've just resolved myself that my main will never be added.

The wait while you play is good feature and if you dont use it theres huge chance you loose server connection on 20-30 minutes killers queue time which is devasteting for mental health so no wonder when people play both roles.

I never play killer, after a long day the last thing I want is to get irritated.

best way to not get irritated is to not play the game. Do as i say not as i do, as i currently playing while writing this.
