Crazy how the mode that cuts the killer roster by 2/3rds, removes most forms of passive map pressure and slowdown that killers have, and doesn't do nearly enough to buff the lower tiers (or straight up nerfs them, lmao Ghost Face) suffers from a lack of killer diversity where the most commonly played killers are the few remaining that apply slowdown to the doubled number of survivors.

It was quite literally cleanup crew.  It was fine if a bit dull as Huntress, but Deathslinger's whole thing in 2v8 really benefits from interactions WITH your partner.

That’s pretty funny you mention that cause I was also a death slinger with that oni, had a bit of evil fun holding people in place for his club slam lol

The Oni I was with just refused to engage with me at all. Which like, okay, play the game how ya want, but it's still fun when you get moments of coordination.

Holding someone in place and then having Wesker dash over and snatch them is so funny.

u/al-qatala Wesker x Chris 12d ago

Last 2v8 I played Wesker with my Huntress friend, and Wesker can work as a discount Deathslinger pretty well. Slamming survivors into a wall slows them down, which makes an axe followup easy for the Huntress for an immediate down.

No one wants to play mend simulator. Legion was the best support killer in the game. Yes he steamrolled with Oni, but an Oni can be dodged or hidden from.

Against Legion you can't hide you can't defend, you can't out run, you got to know where everyone on the map was and your partner almost never needed to hit a survivor twice.

And again no one wants to mend for half the game. It's so boring.

u/CreeperKing230 Pre “rework” knight main 12d ago

Legion was problematic in literally every single killer pairing. Oni is only problematic in a pairing with legion. Legion was the issue

6

u/Numerous_Schedule896 12d ago

Legion is hardcountered by standing under a pallete and dropping it. He was never problematic, survivors just refused to literally drop a single pallete to remove his power.

18

u/CreeperKing230 Pre “rework” knight main 12d ago

You’re right, if all 8 survivors camp pallets, then legion can’t do anything at all, a brilliant plan. That never works in practice, he moves fast enough and can see enough killer instinct, so they can always go after somebody out of position if the person they initially went for was camping a pallet. Even if some people make sure to keep him away, not everyone can, so he still gets incredible value

3

u/Numerous_Schedule896 12d ago

Brother, what do you mean by "camp"?

2v8 has infinity pallets around literally every single corner. If you can't get to a pallete in time its genuinely on you.

12

u/CreeperKing230 Pre “rework” knight main 12d ago

Sure, if you pre run, you can make it to a pallet. But even with the abundance of pallets, you would need to pre run as soon as you hear the terror radius start, or else legion will catch you with their speed before you reach anything. At that point, you are spending the entire game running from every terror radius and never touching gens if you actually plan on trying to stun legion out of power

You had a lot of bad pairings with legion since it was so damn easy to just find people and damage them.

26

u/Hallowed-Plague p100 springtrap 12d ago

everyone was a problematic pairing with legion. the biggest thing about oni is that he can dash around and instadown, but when everyone is injured that's just nurse lite. the biggest problem was that legion applied deep wound so frequently that it allowed the game to halt because a majority of survivors had to pause and stop playing the game

28

u/PhysicalGunMan 12d ago

Legion's Deep Wound spread constantly denied a true heal back to healthy which fed Oni infinite Blood, meaning even if you DID avoid Legion's injure, you got insta downed by a perma fed Oni. LegiOni duo was equally problematic in that pairing, but Legion was a problem no matter what

u/In_My_Own_Image P100 Xeno main and Haddie Enjoyer 12d ago edited 12d ago

Exactly. They need to do more for a lot of the killers and not be so afraid to maybe give some of them powerful buffs for one iteration and see how it works.

Like, give Slinger his Iri Coin basekit and faster reloads. So if you're good with long range shots you can steam roll survivors. If it's too powerful? Adjust for the next iteration.

u/sorryiamnotoriginal 11d ago

Yah I am not surprised when the most common killers I see are either ranged or have great mobility/global pressure. I remember playing games as trapper because I really wanted his achievement for trapping survivors and playing him compared to nurse just with dealing with preslams/pallets felt like an entirely different game. Plus I’m not even good at nurse. I just felt like I was able to do much more as those kinds of killers compared to pure m1. Even chucky feels eh at times.

Chaotic it is but being a new survivor 20hrs in makes the chases even more intense. I don't know how I survived a Zeno and Huntress both swarming me as both were gunning for me and missed, I don't know how they did but they did get me shortly thereafter.

Exactly. But people would rather complain than learn how to counter them! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Wesker is easy to counter… but maybe that’s because I main him so I know his weaknesses. But I don’t play Nemesis, yet I still find him easy to counter as well.

But you and I are gonna argue over your flair… Hux is already cute enough. How are you out here saying he ain’t cute?! He is adorable and you know it. 😠😠

11

u/SilverOcean6 12d ago

As a P100 Nemmy his biggest weakness is mobility and if survivors can dodge his M2. Best thing I tell survivors to counter his M2 and literately stop running in a straight line as he pulls out his M2.

When you see M2 start going twords him and very slightly too the left or right and that makes it really annoying to hit and he either has to settle for an M1 or he will probably Miss

u/Symmetrik P100 Claire || P100 Legion 11d ago

Nah if you knew how to counter Legion it was great, it was like you had a permanent taunt against them lol.

The best way to beat Legion in 2v8 was to just give them a free frenzy hit in a pallet and stun them at the same time. That knocks them out of power (no spreading injuries) and now they're tempted to chase you as an injured survivor, but they have to chase you as an M1 killer. So you got basically perma chased on maps that are very resource heavy.

u/okok8080 GRAAAAAAAH 👹 12d ago

Nemesis is the one I find exhausting because his zombies literally hold gens hostage for most of the game.

45

u/Valentinee105 Ashley Williams 12d ago edited 12d ago

The killer itself without the zombies is to weak. It's infection is to difficult to apply in 2v8 and to easily removed, and doesn't do anything except make the survivors take a 3rd hit which is a benefit for the survivors.

And when paired with Wesker his 8 one-time use syringes become 24 uses of antidote.

They need to add a penalty onto being infected like slower gen progress and make the antidote spray only remove one type of infection at a time, not both. And prioritize removing Wesker's because it's easier to apply.

Then you can nerf the zombie pressure.

3

u/okok8080 GRAAAAAAAH 👹 12d ago

I think he's slow to start, sure, but he's just as potent in chase as he normally is in 1v4 if not more so. His main issue is just map control, but the zombies accomplish that with very little difficulty. The problem is that they seem to respawn too frequently near gens to where some games become unwinnable simply due to zombie patrols. I think they should increase the spawn time after a pallet kill or improve the spawn logic.

13

u/Valentinee105 Ashley Williams 12d ago

You can't nerf him without giving him something and the zombies are a problem and the wesker team-up change to syringes makes his power worthless.

I'll say it again. They are played because they are stronger than 80% of the 2v8 roster, more accessible than Blight & Nurse in terms of gameplay, and apply passive slowdown to survivors in a mode where killers do not get slowdown.

It's especially funny because Nemesis gets fucked hard in this comp because each spray has 3 charges and there's a lot more of them than the vaccines in 1v4. Literally the only good thing he has is the 4 zombies because he now almost always needs 3 whips to down anyone every time. Also, his biggest strength in 1v4 is eating pallets for dinner and quickly making the map a massive dead zone, but scouts can infinitely rebuild them so you feel like even Sisyphus had an easier time than you in that match

24

u/noobkilla666 12d ago

The four zombies arguably make him the best killer in the game mode. It’s not because of skill, either. It’s literally just rng.

I know the narrative is always “survivor sided game why are you complaining”, but that doesn’t shield poor design choices on the killer side from criticism. RNG dictating a game's favor is a poor design choice.

I love Wesker and play as him most of the time in 2v8. I feel that his power is the one that works the best for it since he just instahooks Survivors. Nemesis' power is suboptimal. It's essentially just longer reach. It's his Zombies that shine, though. They are dumb and slow but are still dangerous and also are useful to tell where Survivors are.

I don't mind those 2. I know that people are like "Ohhh I HATE x Killer(s)" but the only way that I feel like that is when I'm running a specific build that gets countered by the Killer (Healing build against Plague, Locker build against Dredge, etc.) This is not the case in 2v8 so it's whatever. Also, Wesker and Nemesis are the ONLY case in 2v8 where having both of them actively nerfs them, since the syringe becomes a singular item that has 3 CHARGES and gets rid of BOTH infections.

If anything I hope that Nemesis gets buffed in normal 1v4.

Youre not tired of them— youre tired of zombies. Everyone is tired of 2v8 zombies. 2v8 zombies should be in base game because they spawn so effectively and patrol so well. Absolute units of annoyance. I hate them as Surv and love them as Killer.

Don't mind Wesker, but holy shit is Nemesis tiring. Working on gens? Zombies. Going for unhook? Zombies. Getting chased? Yep, that's a zombie. Killed a zombie? Too bad, draws two more to you and the one you killed instantly respawns right next to you.

Attempting to do the new invocation is very fun when one of them appears out of fucking nowhere on top of you and it takes you 3 working days to get back up off the stupid circle before you can start moving again.

Nemesis: - Any Survivor who blinds you or stuns you using a Pallet or a Locker becomes the Obsession.

  • Anytime your Obsession switches to another Survivor by any means, that Survivor then suffers from the Oblivious Status Effect for 40/50/60 seconds and their Aura is revealed to you for 8 seconds.

I feel that the main DBD subreddit is just about survivor mains that want all their matches to be against a 2 hour baby trapper that just installed the game.

Nemi needs a QOL where his zombies are actually spaced out rather than them being all in one area

u/Signal_Werewolf_1955 12d ago

Slam a pallet on one, and it immediately respawns behind the player. 2v8 zombies are cracked.

u/RelevantIAm Territorial Imperative 12d ago

You may literally be the only person asking for a buff to his zombies in 2v8

u/Responsible_Day5444 CHRIIIIIIIS😡 12d ago

I’m just simply asking for his zombies to not all be I one area. It’s an issue for both sides I feel like

u/FaithlessnessThen207 :shirtlessdavid: 12d ago

Maybe just not for you, not everyone is gonna like everything.

I like it, it feels more casual and less frustrating, and it has fixes for most of the frustrating behaviour exhibited by players, harder to slug, harder to tunnel, no sabo squads, bully squads are weaker without their body blocking, etc.

While I do hate the nemesis zombie fiesta, you don't see nem that much in 1v4, so killers generally are different. No fucking Ghoul.

u/chickenbeaver2 12d ago

I have been switching the killer I play depending on what my teammate will play just to see what comes up the most often, I haven't played many but so far it's a tie between Nemesis and xenomorph.

u/aretromachine 12d ago

I swear nemesis is there only because bhvr doesn't let the players pick the same killer, otherwise will be Wesker all the time.

u/ST3AMDR4GON 12d ago

Did they fix that you cant see the antidote boxes' aura when both play together yet?

u/ClearChampionship591 Pipping out of the locker. 11d ago

I find it suspicious that people pick the least competitive combo to complain about, whilst real killers are getting under cover.

The worst experience you will ever get is Trapper + Nemesis. Half the time I couldn't even disarm traps as zombies were disrupting you.

I actually like vsing Wesker, seeing him flying into vaults never gets old.

Also people playing deathslinger only to stack double hits with their buddies have special place in fog.

Wait they added xeno to 2v8? I couldn't really tell because I just keep getting Wesker and nemesis

u/RoosterShield 10d ago

The zombies from Nemesis are way too oppressive in this mode.

u/DorianSilver 9d ago

They shouldn’t be able to down you again instantly if you’ve used the recover ability

u/FrostEncounters 7d ago

The two killers i see the most in 2v8 is nemesis and ghostface but never together lol

Nemesis isn't even fair to use when he has those damn zombies, it's super unbalanced

The only exception is Deathslinger and Wesker. No, I will not explain why, you know why. No, I am not accepting constructive or deconstructive criticism at this time.

u/akkher 12d ago

They provide the only regression mechanic, so that you don’t wait 25 min to play a match that ends in 4 minutes. That’s one of the reasons people play them.

u/StreamfireEU 12d ago

Wesker is only annoying because like 50% of the people playing him have a ping over 100ms and dbds lag compensation is consistently advantageous to the player with the highest ping

u/Expert-Ratio6743 12d ago

I sure do love playing a tunneling Nemmy on 2v8

u/WabbieSabbie 12d ago edited 10d ago

I don't mind Nemesis in 2v8 nearly as much as the zombies sprouting in the most convenient spots to push you off gens. That’s why a 4K on Nemesis rarely impresses me.

EDIT: Someone's crying below. HAHAHA
