To the devs benefit they have never declared any of that. As for the trapper, they said they are happy where he is at bc he is usually the first killer ppl play and they want to keep him as simple as possible for those newer players so they can learn the game. In low mmr ranks trapper can do very well bc survivors are also…

Eh I wouldn't really call it a skill issue. I have had a lot of matches where I couldn't escape mainly because my teammates were just goofing around and not doing gen or being down by a blight or billy. Imo you can be the best survivor in the game but if the 7 other members on team aren't pulling their weight the killers…
-
So sorry some of us want our normal queue times back. Personally I wouldn't care less if this mode was extended if it didn't ruin the mode I enjoy playing but it does and that is why a lot of us who want it gone don't want to suffer another week or two. But hey enjoy your 20min queue times while the rest of us cant even…
-
Plz no! I want to play killer again plz TwT I haven't played killer in the last two weeks bc if I do I would only get very few matches a night thanks to the miserable queue times. I don't want a repeat of last time where the devs kept extending it.
-
I feel you on the killer not being in the mode part. The only non-licensed in enjoy playing is Legion and I don't see how Legion would work in 2v8 since getting 5 chains hits with their power would be stupid easy so they would have to change Legion's power but then it wouldn't be Legion at that point. Other than that I…
-
Im praying with you that it wont be extended like last time. I dont want to go another 2 weeks of not able to get more than few matches in of killer bc most of my playtime is spent in a queue while watching youtube…Its not fun at all.
-
I agree with you that 2v8 sucks and honestly I think the mode is overhyped. For me I don't like how it affects the game as a whole, not only is killer queues painful long for it but it also causes queues be long for normal mode as well. Then you have the game play, for killer I find it unfun having to depend on some random…
-
Did I say that it would good idea to not have a requirement? Ofc there need to be some kinda requirements but having it based on escaping isn't good either. Honestly, the only way to do this is to base it on BP earned but even then it be kinda meh. Overall I just think priority passes just isn't a good way to solve the…
-
As other said, I think having based on escapes would be a terrible idea. It would encourage killer players to play Survivor and never do anything but hide all matches in hopes of escaping. Even then if the killer player does play Survivor and loop/do gens there is no guarantee they even going to be able to escape. I have…
-
I know a lot of ppl enjoy it bc it's chaotic and trust me I love chaotic fun but I don't find 2v8 fun at all and definitely not worth the 20 min wait for killer. I know I have done this a few times but I cant help to compare it to a mode that OW2 just had for Halloween. The mode allows you to pick a hero and then pick from…
-
In all due respect, these stats are all we have to go by since y'all don't share these types of stat that often.. A lot of times the stats yall show are kinda meanless and useless. Like in the last stat update, there was no info on kill rates or anything, yall just show 2v8 stats and meanless stats for slingu like the…
-
I can't help but compare all this to Overwatch 1 when the game was 6v6. DPS had long queue times bc no one really wanted to play Tank, tank was and still is the least popular role. Survivor is DBD's tank where it is the least popular role and having a mode that doubles the number of survivors you need for a match leads to…
-
And this is why Im not playing killer at all in dbd right now. Overall Im only playing survivor just to do rift challeges and then logging out XD I HATE 2v8…. It ruins the game for me honestly.
-
Same! Im a Legion main who also loves playing Nemmy, Xeno, and Wesker. Same as you the only killer in 2v8 I play is wraith but I really don't enjoy playing him that often since he is so bare-bones. I hate nurse, I never liked her, Bill and Blight are hard for me to control even on K&M(I have issues controlling dash killers…
-
Oh, I know there no chance of them getting rid of it since it is so popular but Im just stateing my feelings about the mode. As I said in my post I honestly wouldn't be so hateful of the mode if it didn't ruin my experience in the normal mode of dbd as much.
-
I know this isn't the answer ppl want to hear but I rather just get rid of 2v8 instead of trying to fix it queue issues. I never liked 2v8 since I tried it the first time it came out and I still don't like it now. I know a lot of killers love the mode bc they can play with their friends but as someone who doesn't have…
-
This may come to a shock you but some ppl don't like 2v8. Im a killer main and I HATE 2v8 bc I dont like any the killers in it, I dont like having to play with a random player, I don't like the wait time, and over all, I find the mode boring as hell. I been playing it as Survivor even just to do the challenges and I find…
-
I agree with you. I can't play killer right now bc I just don't want to sit thought a 15min queue and that just in 1v4. I don't even want to play 2v8. I'm playing survivor but God I'm hating it. As soon I get the challenges done I'm not touching DBD till this mode is gone.
-
deleted
-
Please no! Unless they can figure out a way to fix queue times in normal mode I rather not ever have this mode as a permanent mode. Personally I really hate 2v8, survivor is boring and unless you have a friend, soloq killer is not fun either. I know ppl say 2v8 is like have casual mode in DBD but I don't see it like that.…
-
I feel the same way about it. I played survivor last night since they have the fastest queue so I could just do the challenges and it was so boring and unfun. Last 2v8 I played killer and is felt pretty boring aswell. Overall I still prefer normal 1v4 dbd and chaos shuffer.
-
I actually tried it little bit today as survivor...it was really lopsided matches. Majority of them were lost but that bc they was always against high movement killers like blight (so many blights) I even had match where I looped a deathslinger for so long but we still lost bc while I was looping the deathslinger the other…
-
No, I don't play Survivor bc it's ######### boring. Btw we only talking about 2v8 here…I usually do play Survivor in normal 1v4 but I still prefer Killer bc it's actually fun and challenging. So sue me if I don't want to play the role I have the least fun on. I have every damn right to complain esp about a mode I…
-
No I will not and I will continue to complain. I have all the right to complain and you can't stop me :P
-
As the other person said, if I have to do something to past the time in between matches, rather just do that fulltime. I rather go watch netflix or youtube and not play dbd when there are 15min queue times. Some of us also dont have all night to play and having to wait 15 to 30mins for a 5 min match isnt worth the time…
-
They have every right to complain…maybe they don't like playing Survivor and only want to play killer? I know that is how I feel. I hate playing Survivor in general and prefer Killer. The issue here is that 2v8 long queue times aren't affecting just the 2v8 mode but it affects the normal mode as well. If it was just 2v8…
-
Few things here. First…stop grouping all sm players together. Not all SM players are toxic. The times I saw her when playing Survivor none of them was toxic as you and others claim they to be. Just because some bad apples played the killer doesn't make all SM mains toxic. If we are using that logic then Im going to say all…
-
Personally I never understood why ppl like 2v8. I think it's mostly killers who has that one friend they always wanted to play killer with but if you don't have a partner the mode imo isn't fun. Especially when you have to sit in queue for 15 to 30 minutes. I just pray that the devs don't extend this mode for multiple…
-
After reading about the new 2v8, it sounds like a good time to take a break from dbd after all. The mode to me sounds even more unfun with gen speeds and how sweaty ppl playing and add the fact killer queues are back to 20mins long… Sorry I just dont think 2v8 will ever be a mode I look forward to, it ######### with queues…
-
No, I haven't played at all today. I don't usually log in till late in the evening(its 5:10pm now). That said I most likely wont log in today since I been hearing killer queues are already bad XD
-
Yeah sorry, I thought that was a given since the topic of this thread is about long queue times for killer while 2v8 is active. Yeah, in normal dbd without 2v8 around, killer queues are amazing but when 2v8 is active killer queues for both modes are horrible. This is why I said I be will be taking a break from the game…
-
As a Legion main, I still see a decent amount of DCs or survivors complaining in the end game they had to go against a legion. Sure, it's not on the same level as SM, but there are survivors out there who still very much hate Legion because of its release. This is why I personally believe that no matter what they do to SM,…
-
During the last 2v8 both modes had 15 min queues times for killer…Like right now yeah queues are fine but after tomorrow when 2v8 starts back up the queue time for Killer will most likely be 15mins again just last time. Trust I remember very well that I had to wait between 15 to 20 mins just for a normal 1v4 match during…
-
That not going to happen xD ppl will remember the hate for her. He rep is completely destroyed. As someone who plays legion I still get survivors who hate playing against me because they remember how bad legion was on release. That hate isn't going to just go away unfortunately.
-
Devs probably consider this a success since they nerfed her as hard as they did so she would be terrible and ppl will stop playing her till her rework. This is why I and many others called them out on their BS. They killed a character just because she was really unpopular and ppl refused to learn to play against her. Now…
-
I had pretty much the same experience as killer in 2v8. It's the reason I stop queuing for it after a few days it was added. Unfortunately I couldn't play normal mode either tho thanks to the longer queue times.
-
I'm on EST and my queue time was no where instance at the times I usually play at which are anyway between 9pm to 11pm. I experienced 15min wait times for both modes pretty much. 2v8 was little faster but I hated playing the mode with randoms as killer so I mostly stayed with normal mode.
-
Im with you! I'm taking a break as well. I don't want to live though 15min queue times again... I only was able to get like 3 matches a night last time. Not worth it
-
I wished I could say playing with another killer was fun but honestly for me it wasnt…the mode is made for killers who have firends to play with and I just dont land in that group. I could just not play it but the issue is 2v8 affects the normal mode as well, making killer queue there longer as well. So no matter what mode…
-
Glad the mode looking better. I wish everyone the best with it. I'm taking a break bc I'm not sitting in 15min killer queues again like last time. I'm not a fan of 2v8 bc I have no one to play with and normal 1v4 queue times are most likely going to be terrible as well...
-
Shoot you're completely right about medusa hair and I thought for sure it was going to get a huge nerf. That completely slipped my mind when I read the patch notes lol. But yeah I agree they did barely anything to Wolf that is meaningful. Wolf will still be his worst power for both tracking and chasing, pounce is still…
-
Im not a fan but I'm also not surprised. I said before Dracula would mostly get nerfs to vamp and bat from while Wolf gets barely anything. I'm unfortunately was right about this... I'm fine with nerfing the problematic parts of his kit while buffing the weaker parts. They kinda did this but it's not enough since the buffs…
-
I cant wait for the devs to release the next dev blog so we see how useless they going to make bat. I have no doubt in my mind that they going to slap a heavy Nerf to bat bc all the complaining and give Wolf nothing. Dracula going to be a killer with three weak powers that are just copies of other killer's power. I still…
-
As the others said I think tracking in bat is already difficult. You only have scratch marks go by really. Before anyone says anything, yes I know Bat has the ability to hear survivors 50% louder but I have NEVER noticed this part of bat's power. In fact I didn't even know this was a thing till someone pointed me to the…
-
I hope they buff Wolf but I honestly think the only thing they are doing to him in the next update is nerfing Bat. I think it's not even going to be a small nerf either. Since so many are talking about how strong bat is and some even saying it invalidates spirit, they going to slap a really heavy nerf to bat and make it…
-
I did try wolf only last night after I read this post. It was ok and had few fun matches but I pretty much lost ever single one of them. I still think wolf needs some love. I stand by my claim that I would like to see them nerf bat and shift some of that power over to wolf.
-
I love to play Wolf Only Dracula but I find wolf so annoying to play. I think it bc Wesker is one of my fav killers and when I play wolf all Im think is that Pounce is just the worst wesker dashes. I just would love the choice of using the 2nd pounce instead of being made to do it every time I use the power. I really want…
-
I feel the same as you. Im very sure bat will be nerfed really heavily to the point it's useless. If we learned anything from the recent SM change is that the devs don't really care that much about true balance, they only care about those who compain enough and are the loudest. Do I think he needs some minor changes? Yes,…
-
Yeah I love to know what he taking to think Hellfire is better than any of those. I even find xenotail better imo. Maybe it's bc I personally don't like playing him but I don't think Dracula is that super strong. A lot of his kit is just annoying to deal with while playing him I find. Wolf: I hate how you are forced to do…
-
OMG did he really say hellfire is better than PH's range? I didn't watch the video mainly because I just disagree with his point and as you said I feel Scott just has something out for Dracula. Btw weeks after Dracula came out Scott made a video explaining why he didn't like him and don't see himself playing him much and…
