2v8 Is So Killer Sided It's Ridiculous

[Grumm]

Obviously not considering SWF, any match that doesn't have like 4+ SWF is so killer sided it isn't even close. I haven't played in forever but reinstalled to try the 2v8 game mode and it was fun until sbmm seemed to kick in hard. And now me and my friend are literally unable to win a game, our winrate for survivors is about 20% of the time. That's as a team, not just me and him escaping. It's killers killing the entire lobby of players. And this isn't just some "survivor main" trying to deflect blame from skill, me and him que killer too and landslide win about 80% of our matches, its insane.

Dunno how they're supposed to fix this. My opinion is 8 gens feels like too many with how many people are running around like headless chickens, not being able to comm with each other. So much wasted time. But then again, why isn't a text chat or voice chat feature in this game yet? How long has it been since this game released? It's crazy. Most issues seem to just stem from miscommunication but they literally don't have the ability to communicate.

So maybe either make it easier for survivors like getting rid of a gen or two, make gens slightly faster, or add communication mid game. That last one needing to be a thing globally, crazy that it doesn't have that already.

Or hot take, it's a silly mode not meant to be taken seriously lol.

Why are you taking an event mode seriously?

Better yet why take this game seriously at all? It has no qualities to be that.

I mean by that merit you should say the same about 1v4, what's silly about it other than the player increase?

depends on map/teammates and killers, for now huntress+nurser are kinda broken

I personally haven't even really been seeing nurses, it's mainly huntresses and wraith. In fact whenever people DO choose nurse it feels like a throw and it's almost always a game we win because they always seem to suck with it. I don't feel like its my sbmm bracket though because literally every other killer even trapper and billys play extremely well.

There is no SBMM in 2v8; matchmaking is completely random.

2v8 is a good idea. I hope they do make it permanent, however the current version of 2v8 is really bad. For numerous reasons. Constantly going up against huntress + whatever killer. The fact that it's too easy for two killers to gang up on a single survivor. There needs to be some sort of option for the survivors to do to combat being gang up on a single survivor. Also no windows,and pallets are not enough for one survivor to handle two killers going up against them. The classes for survivors are also a joke. Ithey need to be more useful in certain situations. Again I like 2v8,but not this current version.

Same as 1vs4, it depends who's playing. I've had games where we've kerb stomped and cleared the field at 4 gennies, also had games where 6-7 survs escaped because the killers weren't great and the survs were. Welcome to DBD

Oh word, well that should just support the idea that it's killer sided then right? Because it doesn't just mean majority of the survivors in my matchmaking bracket aren't great.

Yeah I agree, when I found out the hard way that 2 killers can just hit someone at the same time to insta-down them I was flabbergasted. Maybe like a 3-5 second endurance buff after every hit. Though that could be super abused. I'm not sure.

That's why it looks killer sided to you. If every surv does their job, it's much easier to escape in 2v8 than in 1v4.

The issue with nurse in this mode is, that many attacks, that normaly would hit, just miss, meaning nurse is harder to play in this mode than in normal mode due to the 3% hase speed, which means a lot vs nurse. Also in Red Forest nurse is unplayable because of the size of the nurse. Nurse is good in intercepting, so if your mate finds a survivor, you can intercept the survivor.

They should make UB and SC basekit for the entire match. Not just on death hook.

And yeah in-game communication options should have been added years ago. The lack of them back in the old days of DBD when the game was balanced around solos could be hand waved away. But now? When the game has been balanced around survivors being a team? With killers like Chessy and Pinhead that require teamwork to counter being added?

Yeah no, it's become stupidly unfair for solos and crossplay groups. The fact lazy boring strats like camping and slugging still work in DBD only because of a lack of communication options is so dumb. Every other big PVP multiplayer game has figured this stuff out. BHVR only has to copy what they do. Text wheel, in-game voice chat for groups, visible lobby loadouts, etc.

For killers in 2v8 mode, they need to revert some of the Huntress and Nurse buffs. There was no need to buff them so much. Huntress needing more changes as her prevalence in like 80-90% of matches speaks for itself.

I'm aware. Asking every survivor to do their job correctly in a non SWF is next to impossible.

Hardcore killer mains: "You just need to work as a TEAM."

Meanwhile DBD has no way to communicate with others or even know what their loadouts are. We don't even know if someone else is getting camped lol

Imagine if one day OW or COD or Halo or any game removed all forms of in-game communication? It would be considered insane and make the game stupidly unfair for anyone not in a premade group using Discord to chat.

Well that is DBD and the devs are fine with it.

Saw them in a recent Reddit AMA try to justify it by saying that groups just like to win more and solos just like to lose more. So it's all good.

Everyone complaining about the state of solo are just lying I guess according to the devs lol
