    They'd be funny but I doubt devs are gonna rework knight to be able to do that

    I think the game would crash if even one guard was placed on map with 4 zombies.

    were there any killers not available to vote for outside of Legion and those that licenses are currently out (Myers, Pinhead)?

    I do wonder if Freddy would be even possible due to licensing

    Also i wanna see Dredge and want them to implement special interactions when a killer opens s locker with Dredge in it

    Putting my vote to readmit The Legion back into the mode here since I didn't get that option in the survey.

    Thanks for that, BHVR. Very democratic of you.

    You already got an attempt and an answer for that though? Ontop of good reasoning to do with them saying they don't want to rework entire powers just for the mode. They want to focus on stuff which will not take much effort to put in rn

    Sure, I know what DBD Twitter/Reddit/Forums all think about the Legion being in 2V8. But I don't recall the wider community getting a say on that. So what's the harm in putting the option there for players to vote on?

    If the Legion still gets a resounding no, then fair enough, they shouldn't be in the mode. With this Survey BHVR had a real chance to ask the wider community their views on Legion being in 2V8 and they didn't take it. Just a weird anti-democratic choice to flat out refuse to put them into the mix, imo.

    So you say socials say they don't want them in 2v8, then suddenly saying the "wider community" who is that by your terms? Because you're saying they are listening with that statement lol

    The reason it's not there to vote on is a decision has already been made and you can move on, you can play them in 1v4.

    Not the 500 people on Twitter and Reddit complaining about every little thing in the game. In other words, the tens of thousands of players out there that aren't terminally online and who just play the game. The players that don't join in with discussions on socials, the ones an in game survey is specifically designed to reach. That's who the wider community is.

    Otherwise, why bother even doing a survey at all? BHVR could just ask what people want in the mode with a Reddit or Twitter poll and call it a day.

    You say the decision has been made. OK, well why not a vote on who should be booted out next? Unless I slipped into a parallel universe where Blight and Spirit are viewed as fun to verse, they could be next. Or maybe Oni, who has his power all the time because there's a second Killer on the map. Let's keep voting until all we have left is no traps Trapper on RPD.

    Obviously I'm being a little bit flippant, but I think BHVR should have just said to players, in the nicest way possible, this is a cartoony no holds barred OOT mode and if you're not down for that, go make the 1V4 queues shorter or else play something else. Gate keeping a goofy silly mode like 2V8 in this way is just totally ridiculous in my view.

    No one wants anyone else booted out, Legion was legit unhealthy for the mode. People who play 2v8 like it's 1v4 won't understand so I'll do my best to explain for you:

    -Legion functions more like a support class in 2v8, they share their killer instinct and get free hits on multiple survivors, what they lack for in their own power to down on their own, they have constant pressure.
    -You add a second killer into the mix, say Blight/Nurse/Wraith/Spirit. Who thrive off of hitting and running capitalising off of recovering survivors/information coz of their mobility/stealth. You get quick downs.
    -Survivors constantly in a state of deep mending so long as the Legion focuses on using their power

    Then that's not even considering if you are unfortunate enough to get RPD, where their killer instinct radius is pretty much a constant sounce of information for the 2nd killer.

    this is the last I'm going to say on the matter, if you can't understand this you simply weren't playing against them. You need to understand this mode isn't just 1v4 again, killer application is very different in 2v8.

    Cannibal will die there, theres pallet not on every tenth meter but every second meter, they would need to give him speed and iri flesh or he would suck hard because sprint on command plus trilion pallets and class that make them from scraps and thin air isnt bubba friendly. Pig well Idk but if she would got every positive effect from her addons she would still suck hard probably worst killer in the mode until you get larrys or rpd, rest would somehow be playable.

    I voted for Henry, Clown, Dredge, and Vecna. I'm deeply disinterested in this mode and barely touched it this time around, but these would get me back, particularly Henry. Though idk how you buff a 4.4 with a limited ranged attack into viability on a giant map without him becoming as hated as Ghoul.

    The funny thing is, the mods can see who are upvoting/downvoting lol I wonder if it gives them a chuckle

    I've played 500+ 2V8 Survivor games so yeah, I played against them plenty. Just my opinion, but if anything they were less problematic than some of the other Killers in the mode because three of the classes directly counter their power, turning them into a basic attack Killer that can't really do much. But I've had all these discussions many times before and it's not worth going over this stuff again in detail. I'll just say that balance doesn't matter in 2V8 because it's impossible to balance and that's not the point of it anyway. Players who want a balanced experience should play 1V4.

    I don't need you to explain to me why they were one of the better support Killers because I already know. But that didn't make them undefeatable or over powered. I escaped Legion plenty and even as a Legion main, I still perform much better with my side mains (Chucky and Billy) despite being extremely average with both. Chucky has a nasty teleporting bug affecting his dash and Billy wasn't even instadown in the first iteration and I still get better results with these Killers. They all have the same 1V4 Kill rate of about 50% btw, so should be around the same MMR (not that 2V8 has MMR):

    Of course this is just my own experience, I don't have access to BHVR's data. But it's hard to believe they were removed because they were too strong or too good at what they did. I think they were removed because a loud minority complained and BHVR caved in to their demands. There doesn't seem to be any other rationalisation for it. But we're never going to see eye to eye on this, so I guess we should leave it at that.
