8v2 just keeps getting more unfun

[BRING PARTY STREAMERS]

everytime 8v2 come around it just keeps getting more and more survivor sided! the herbs are a really dumb idea and the ability for pallets to be rebuilt is just plain stupid! the gens pop to damn fast and whatever gen regression is just a joke! too many pallets and still no basekit enduring or brutal strength makes looping a chore and just unfun! theres no reason to play 8v2 as killer and have any chance of fairness WHEN THE MAJORITY SIDE HAS THE MOST ADVANTAGES AND THE KILLER SIDE IS LEFT WITH TOASTER LEAVENS! 20 minute wait time just to be steamrolled in less than 8 minutes! had one game earlier today where we could not get a single down cause the 8 MAN SWF KEPT BODYBLOCKING AND WITH ALL THE INSTANT HEALING CRAP AND HOW DO I KNOW IT WAS AN 8 MAN SWF? THEY ALL HAD THE SAME NAMING SCHEME AND WERE SAME CHARACTER WITH SAME SKIN!

I played yesterday around 15 games as a survivor and I failed to escape only 2 times. While before that I was playing as a killer and every second game was a tremendous loss.
Keeping in mind how long the queue is, it is not worth it at all to play this mode as a killer.

played around 20 killer rounds as huntress won every single one of them. With 1-2 escapes per game max.

Killermains cry about it being survivor sided and survivor mains cry about getting tunneled and 2v1 by both killers.
Its just a skill issue nothing else.
2v8 is slightly survivor sided sure cuz u got no gen regression but thats it. I have alot of survivor games where my team gets just steam rolled and we lose with 4+ gens still up.

U can legit play legion + huntress with a friend run together and just win every single game u play if u got hands.

killer mains complaining when they dont get an 8k at 8 gen every game

[CounterPNG]

The game is absolutely survivor sided if played optimally. In 2v8, survivors have even more pallets to predrop, less gens to do and a way bigger map to efficiently split pressure. If you win that much, than the survivors you're going against probably aren't really good. I'm not saying that you're bad, but killers mainly just punish mistakes, and if none are made, you just lose.

The problem is not that the game is "survivor-sided" or "killer-sided"—it's the lack of proper matchmaking. For several years now, the developers have been unable to create a functional matchmaking system!

When I play on EU servers in the morning, the games are easy. In 5 out of 10 matches, I get an 8K. But later in the day, it becomes completely unplayable. When SWFs are in the game, it sucks beyond belief. The reason is simple, and it’s the same issue in 2v8 as in 1v4—there is no matchmaking. You end up playing as a casual player or after a long break against high-end SWFs with thousands of hours in the game. It’s sweaty and insanely unfun when they join the match.

I now only play 2v8. When they remove this mode, I’ll quit the game again until the next mode is released. They will never be able to create good matchmaking like they had in the early days with the ranking system. Back then, you had hard matches and easy matches, but most of the time, the games were actually fun when playing Killer. Nowadays, it’s just about sweating for a few kills or losing outright. Impossible to play.

But hey, SWFs bring money into the game, so the devs don’t care about Killers. You can’t balance this game by changing perks or skills—it needs to be balanced through proper matchmaking.

DBD sucks.

I haven't tried killer on 2v8 but as a survivor... i've seen killers just smash through 8 like it was paper...and some games we get through with 4 down. It varies game to game. You can't get what you want all the time.

[thefollowingcharacters]

I don't see how this is possible. Almost all of my games are dominated by killer.

[††v.Saiki540]

imagine hooking the same survivor 5 times bc yellow herb exist xD

I agree the ranking system needs to be reworked and bodyblocking, tunnelling is getting updated yay at last!!!!

You can also pick up the herbs as a killer, denying a survivor the bonus and giving you and your teammate a speed boost. And as a killer, you're now in a position where you feel the pain of the Solo-Q survivor; unless you're a KWF group, you have to rely on a rando to carry half the game (or more).

Edit: This post is against the claim that the mode is "Survivor sided"

[Vampire Girl]

I had a few goes and all the time both killers went for me.

[Celes Raev]

Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighty then considering I am a survivor main and fail to escape like 80% of my trials because of the other survivors playing like morons as if they're playing it for the first time. So uh, yeah. Keep crying about 'survivor advantage.'

[76561199125378899]

For real? I'm not bad at looping but even if I last 30 secs in one chase the gens are never getting done. I escape like 2/10 matches because the Killers just play really well or the survivors don't touch gens. Idk what to tell you but it's definitely not survivor sided.

Like... we only get two perks until we get hooked. Killers have amazing aura reading. The survivor perks are kind of boring and ass outside of the pallet rebuilding.

[Feral]

2v8 is the worst game mode they've put out. If not for the rift challenges I wouldn't even touch it. Or would just play killer, but something-something queue times...

It's hard to enjoy this absolute chaos, everyone is running back and forth bc four people chose Escapist class or they dgaf in general. Nothing is getting done, pallets don't get rebuilt bc there's only one Scout. Killers don't even break a sweat with how uncoordinated everyone is.

What kind of advantage you're all talking about? It's a mess. In 7\10 cases I die on first "hook" bc people just don't pay attention. No OP herb would help if you play with morons.

And yeah with each time, new killers and maps, it's getting worse. Like now on RPD map they would fool around or do a gen while I'm seconds from dying on hook right behind the wall, yay!
