Outlast trials/ invasion first impressions

Discussion

So iv been playing for about 4 hours now. To keep it simple the invasion mode (the only reason I downloaded this game mind you) is simply unplayable garbage.

The map designs are either too big or too small. When I was the killer they would have 40 to 50 separate rooms while when I was survivor I was limited to 4 rooms if you count the hallway connecting them.

The queue time was 55 minutes between matches. I wait all that time just for me to get a hacker who spammed 11 bottles back to back to stun kill me every time i tried to spawn.

The gameplay itself is fairly lazy at best, just either spam stab or hold to stab. The sprint feels HORRIBLE! It claims to be set to toggle but you can only toggle sprint on not off so I have to stop moving entirely for my sprint to stop.

The reason I have this marked as discussion though and not rant is I'd like to hear from the 3 of you that play this mode. why? What could possibly make this dumpsterfire of a gamemode worth playing to you? Is there some grand secret that I'm missing?
