Is it me or is 2v8 on both sides seem a bit stale?

Last year's 2v8 was fun and chaotic but this year it feels stale. Not sure if its just me hence why I'm bringing this up.

    It is cuz literally NOTHING got added to 2v8 this time and I am pretty sure there was nothing last iteration which was after the iteration with Chucky and that new class for survivors.

    Next 2v8 is in a month and they must add something to it and it's likely to be xeno.

    I have seen rumours that the Xenomorph will be included in the next 2v8 but a little more would be nice.

    Nevertheless, I'm still enjoying 2v8

    Yeah I'm assuming if they don't add a couple more killers/classes next iteration 2v8 will definitely see a drop in players.

    Well yeah nothing new has been added, survivors got a worthless new class that fundamentally does not make sense since they decided not to give them background player to the flashlight save class. So anyone actually going for flashlight saves is still just going escapist and getting a flashlight from chest.

    With only 4 classes for survivor I am surprised they're aren't more complaints about it being stale.

    They should add a Head On class.

    Maybe they could do something with totems.

    Let's talk about that then does anybody's use that class? No cause the skill level of both survivor and killer is so low Aiming something like a flashlight or heck even a flash bang trying to get a flash save is extremely rare and a survivor that just follows killers around to try to get a flash save is throwing it's like those bully flashlight squads sure they'll make the killer miserable but no gens will get done. So everyone will just stick to Meta escapist class

    Here's the thing. It's actually is not a terrible idea to have a class like lightbringer. Being able to deny a tunnel is potentially game saving. It's just that fundamentally escapist is better at protecting someone from being tunneled out by giving them haste and it means if you find a flashlight you can get extremely good saves. I've had matches in 2v8 where I've been able to get easily five or six+ saves and force the killers to stick together which means gens will fly as they are no longer spreading pressure effectively even if chases are fast.

    With no new content or balance adjustments, there’s nothing new to offer. For Survivors, it’s just a game where you focus solely on generating power and escape in 5 or 6 minutes, while Killers just frantically run around the map playing a “pallet-breaking simulator.”

    2v8 is a dramatically simplified version of the game, it loses its lustre very quickly without constant additions and tweaks to offset that fact

    the '2v8' aspect of it is honestly subordinate to how much skill expression is removed from both sides

    It's feeling weirdly stale for me, too, and it used to be my favourite game mode. I appreciate that you can queue for survivor while you wait to play killer, but you still have to wait a long time to play killer. So, if I'm queuing up because I WANT to play killer, I feel like I have to play at least 3 survivor games between each match, and it's starting to feel a bit like a chore.
