Add more classes for killers in 2V8!
Ever since 2V8 has been first released, killers have received no new killer classes for the longest time while survivors seem to be getting new classes in some 2V8 versions, killers seriously need some new classes as we don't really have a hex class yet or a boon class for survivors making totems in maps completely useless and only for bloodpoints, i just want 2V8 to be unique and interesting with new classes for the killer role because the current classes we have are getting kind of boring and stale.

We get entirely new killers added every now and then which is more that can be said for survivors, they don't get whole new powers.
I'd rather get new killers than new classes, so I can see why the priority isn't there.
We hear you; mew classes can add for new and fresh ways to enjoy 2v8. I love reading class ideas, so if you have any, please post them!

Two of my ideas.
Some classes i can come up with for killers is a haste class that has something base-kit like Rapid Brutality or a mix of haste perks base-kit, a hex class that curses survivors with a few status effects or it could have a few hex perks base-kit.
There's the few ideas i have but others probably have better ones.
I don't know how you guys got Pokemon license but Mew sounds interesting class :P
In my opinion, killers should be getting minimum updates to 2v8, and survivors should be getting a whole bunch. Why? Only because of killer queue times. Current 2v8 queue times for killer are often 45 minutes, which is insane. If you make the killer side more interesting, the queue times could go to 50 minutes or further. The devs should prioritize making the survivor side way more appealing. And again, this is not because of a survivor bias, it's simply to reduce the deadly killer queue times.
More killer content ⇒ the killer role becomes even more appealing than now ⇒ even worse killer queue times (and they are currently at 45 minutes)
More survivor content ⇒ the survivor role becomes more appealing that now ⇒ better killer queue times.
Personally, I'd be simply very happy if the killer side stayed the same for a whole year from now, but the queue times dropped from 45 to 10 minutes. I've been very starved of playing killer in 2v8. And the survivor side has been very stale, so no wonder that 2v8 lacks survivors (which is the cause for abysmal killer queue times).
I think the current classes should be buffed before adding any new ones honestly. Shadow feels like the only class that is impactful. Like Brute could be great for the m1 killers, except it has a 60 second cooldown for a single break so what is the point of using it?
When compared to survivor classes the non-shadow ones just seem so lackluster. Sprint burst on demand in an AoE, AoE heals, Rebuilding pallets vs break faster once ever 60 seconds, move slightly faster when you aren't being looked at, and move very slightly faster when you are chasing someone injured. It just feels awful imo when you play killer and your teammate gets Shadow and you are stuck with one of the remaining mediocre classes that do next to nothing.
I just went to queue up for 2v8 killer, and estimated waiting time was 49 minutes. I noped right out of there, couldn't be bothered. So I thought about playing a few 2v8 survivor matches, Torchbearer class. And guess what, the killers were holding hands. You can't even attempt to get a flashie save if the killers are holding hands. Kick gen, aura reveal, one hooks, the other one gets the survivor hovering for a flashie save.
No wonder the killer queue time is 49 minutes.
I'll spellcheck next time. 😂
