Jason might kill 2v8. I mean, I feel like it's already pretty stale, but Jason would probably be the death of it.
Unknown, Trickster, Houndmaster and Artist for me
Plague! She'd make a good support Villain for any of the others while not being too OP herself… unless survivors start cleansing anyways.
Thats the thing, theyd have to cleanse cuz its the legion situation again where she would be meta with oni, or too good of a support compared to any other killer. Infact shed be able to keep people injured even easier than legion, or have a flamethrower the whole game.
Trickster / skull merchant / xeno / hag / springtrap
Vecna and Vecna. I'd love those two in 2v8. Especially Vecna. He'd be so cool just casting stuff on top of survivors. And Vecna has such a nice traversal ability as well. Maybe they could give Vecna some more ways to reveal survivors' positions since Vecna is known for always being aware of what's going on.
Man I do love Vecna…and Vecna
???
I like your imagination but I hardly think so, why?
Blight was added when he was s-tier and considered by comp players (very good players the top 5% of whole player base some even less) above nurse the number 1 killer before his last nerfs and did he broke 2v8 when this version went there with solid buffs? Did nurse broke it when she has massive buffs in that mode? Did dracula broke it when he got one of biggest buffs with wesker???
Only killer who kinda kill it was legion due to how easy it was run around and stab people which left them open for another killer who had easy down or with oni who got blood free and oni who is often in power is hard to deal with thats only killer who kinda "killed it" but I hardly think how will jason kill it?
Will he slow it down that much? I dont think so maybe onle newer people will stealth a lot but with how 2v8 gives astronomical nuber of resources and very strong powers to survivors (by the way devs openly said its meant to be more survivor sided mode, they said it in one of their streams btw so this is huge fact no one can denny) jason wont shine that much just better huntress but thats it. He would do fine there but hardly would kill it if we compare him to 2v8 oni,wesker,nurse,dracula and kinda still blight (even after the nerf) jason would be hardly better unless they would overkill him with buffs but I dont think theres much to give him he doesnt have such broken addons which would make him huge problem in 2v8.
I will tell you if devs have some game sence and learned with leagion especialy when they openly said 2v8 is meant to be more survivor sided mode. putting plague would be just legion who injures less but when he does its for very long time and just imagine the havoc she would cause there, either you cleanse or you are one shot and if you cleanse you make her better huntress (still red puke I would say beats 2v8 huntress) so I dont think it will happen and if does then she wont last there long compare to legion.
Freddy is not going to be in the mode most likely never. I don't think his license is up to be renegotiated so that they could use him in the mode. The license is that old that it might be better to be quiet about it and not rock the boat to keep him in the game.
Jason is most likely some point joining as his license most likely included the option to use him in modes like 2v8.
Any original killer is totally fine to be added as Behavior can do anything they want with them.
The problem is always going to be the licensed killers if they can join the mode as it depends on the license deal.
Ultimately it should be all of them?
As for the debuff/ support killers like Plague and Doc. wow the debuff killer debuffs the survivors, how evil. Thats what they do, if it helps another killer thats called synergy. Isnt that what this mode is about?
Its not like they doubled the amount of survivors for only 8 gens at 70 charges.
I agree, these would work fine.
Of course if you were to pair Trickster and Huntress, they'd have to make sure the locker reloads work properly.
I'd also say Vecna (D&D) would work well in 2v8, even in his base form.
I would also like this, but one Vecna might be harder than the other to implement.
Xeno, just because I'm an Alien fan and I hardly ever get to see one.
And for BHVR to bring back Legion :(
Ghoul, but he'd probably have to have his latch hold time set to 0 for 2v8.
Id like the Vecnas and Xenomorph. I won't even ask for Cenobite, tbh I think they'd be left behind in 2v8 they'd need a huge buff to chain hunt timer
I would love to see Bubba, he's the killer I most looking forward to being in the mode. I know he has licensing issues, but I am sure BHVR could whip out something.
Trickster, Ken, Unknown, both Vecna and Henry, and Amanda, purely for the chaos.
I'd like to see Clown and Dredge. They could be some unique support oriented killers, which I think the mode is lacking now that legion is gone. I also would love to see Knight, but given how hated he is I can't imagine him coming any time soon.
I really want Dredge in the roster. It'd really add to the chaos haa
Legion.
I want to see Hag in 2v8, not sure why she hasn't been added yet when she seems like an easy add.
There's only one killer I really don't want in 2v8 and that's Dredge. Nightfall gives me headaches so its nice to have a mode I know I don't have to worry about that. If they added Dredge, unless they got rid of Nightfall, I wouldn't bother coming back from my DBD breaks for 2v8 because its not worth the actual headaches I would get.
Hands down unknown. He has an AOE power that feels DESIGNED for 2v8. He could have a bigger AOE, less cooldown between shots and shorter teleport cooldown.
Clown is the one I really don't get why they haven't added. He's simple and doesn't even need much changed, just give him like two more bottles and make his haste clouds not affect the other killer.
Haste clouds not affecting the other killer would be the most 'no fun allowed' type of change. That'd be like making the other killer not able to down someone from Ghostface's expose.
What would be the problem even be?
I don't know if you remember when they made a tiny change to Clown's bottles and the community was in shambles. He quickly became one of the most braindead and hated killers in the game for a period. Haste and Hindered are powerful effects that walk a delicate line and the last thing we need is some CC figuring out what pairing would create another Legion/Oni situation. As it is getting hit with hindered and then double tapped would already be pretty unfun, so they'd have to be somewhat cautious with adding him, and that's probably why they haven't.
I remember because they made the haste instant from the moment Clown threw the bottle, that's why he was braindead. Even at its peak, Clown would nowhere close to how Legion was in 2v8.
Killer synergy is something this mode desperately needs, I don't know why anyone would want Clown in this mode if he wasn't able to share his effects with the other killers like how Ghostface can. Double teaming already leads to quick down anyway, at the very least it would even help weaker killers move around the giant maps more easily.
Let's not forget Escapist and Medic still exist and can basically deny hits regardless, Escapist would just press E and ignore the hindered or avoid a haste hit. While those classes exist and remain like they are now, I don't see any problem at Clown being to buff other killers.
I'd play him because I play him a bit anyway and most of my prefered killers are absent. Even when I duo killer I can't say we ever try to mesh our abilities. It ain't that serious. We're just playing the solo role together and that's fun enough. Killers are mostly buffed anyway.
I've never really found Escapist to be such a big issue, nor do I find it great to use myself. Most killers in 2v8 can catch up quick. It's more the comical amount of pallets that make it work. Clown would be another quick catcher uppper.
2v8 is the only time you ever get to play with other killers, no other game mode will ever offer that so I do take it a bit more seriously than all other game modes aside the main game. Playing it with my friends or even randos is some of the most fun I had in DBD, and understand its limited nature. Clown is one of the few killers with a power potential for synergy that doesn't destroy the mode (like Legion), and it just not doing anything to another killer would be a huge missed opportunity.
And Escapist sucks for some killers. You'll waste good chunk of time from a Wraith, Ghostface or about half the killer roster if they try to focus a chase on you. And if they drop the chase, Escapist recovers silent rush stupidly fast.
I feel confident that if there's a killer that people can find a busted combo with they will quickly do so. Out of my 10 most played killers only 2 are in 2v8, so I already feel super limited in the mode. I'd be happy just having my favorite killers be present. I'd hate to have one I like added and then removed.
freddy, dredge, jason, myers, and onryo
Pig, Dredge and Onryo
If Wesker and Oni are still in the mode, I doubt Clown would get banned, he's not impossible to nerf. Legion got removed because Behavior was too creatively bankrupt to think of a proper compromise for the killer, they would rather milk the mode by making the stupid cosmetics as the important part of the event instead new additions beyond killers they shove in there.
