2vs8 doesn't need generators
In my opinion, the biggest issue with this mode for survivors is the pacing. You spend about 90% of the time on gens, and then when a chase finally happens, it lasts like 10 seconds because you’ve got two killers on you at once. I think a much better approach would be to remove gens entirely and replace them with a timer.
Generators make sense in the standard mode, but here, with constant aura reading and always having to heal someone or go for a hook save across the map, the gameplay ends up feeling really dragged out. On top of that, there's the constant frustration of having to choose between doing a gen or hoping that one of your seven teammates will go for the rescue. Replacing gens with a different system would not only make the matches more dynamic and fun, but also solve this issue of inconsistent team coordination.

What do you do when you’re not chased and there’s no one to uncage? Wait for the timer to tick down? There are only 2 killers, what are the other 6 survs doing during this time?
How can killers find you without generators? literally impossible as only aura reading they have is chase, gen done, and gen broke
"Replacing gens with a different system would not only make the matches more dynamic and fun"
I personally disagree that waiting around for a timer to run out is "more dynamic and fun" lol
Would literally result in seeing Legion every match as their power includes Killer Instinct, and based on some of the threads here; they aren't exactly the most enjoyable killer to play against anyway…
If you have two killers on you at once, they are going to lose if your team plays well, as that means 7 other survivors SHOULD be on gens.
I get it though, being double teamed by killers feels bad for the same reason Knight feels bad to play against.
Generators are a key component of DBD and a very clear and obvious objective
This system would work with a Hide and Seek mode, like Lights Out.
Not 2v8 tho.
2v8 works quite well around gens imo, it's simply more fast paced version of standard gameplay.
I personally enjoy both survivors and killers in 2v8. I am looking forward new system, where you can play survivors while waiting for killer game.
My idea was for the survivors to be revealed from time to time and the goal was to help each other survive, either by healing or taking protection attacks.
Dumb idea. Plain n simple
