Trap Killers + Endgame = Death for Survivors
Everyone probably knows about this kind of thing already, but to those that don't, let me fill you in.
Once the hatch has been closed, Trap Killers, like Trapper, Hag, Freddy and Demogorgon can pretty much kill the last survivor in Endgame (once the hatch is closed) every single time. How? By putting their traps/portals right on the Exit Gate Lever. This makes it so they can know IMMEDIATELY when a Survivor is near to one. And if they can't find the Survivor who set it off, they'll just put another one down and walk off, putting the Survivor right back at square one.
You basically NEED to have a Key to open the hatch to have even a chance at escaping, because the Exit Gates aren't an option at this point. It's either have a Key to escape, or just give up and die. Hag can somewhat be evaded by crouching past her traps, but even then, she'll still be patrolling the Exit Gates.
Why is this still a thing? Why do trap killers still have so much power during Endgame? It annoys me that these killers can just get easy kills like this. And I do think that this needs to be changed. And it doesn't need to be a big thing either. Just a simple one. And here it is.... TURN OFF TRAP NOTIFICATIONS WHEN ENDGAME IS IN EFFECT. This would make Survivors have a bit more of a chance at escaping, instead of being stuck and just waiting for the Killer to come and kill them, or by letting the timer run out.
Am I being stupid, or do I make a point?

For Trapper, it wouldn't matter much if notifications were disabled because the additional time needed to disarm a Trap would probably slow down a Survivor enough that they are screwed anyways unless the map is huge and the Gates are hella far.

Imagine if there was something that let survivors get a free escape after being downed in the endgame with the doors open...
I'd imagine killers would riot!

I mean, you can say the same about Whispers. Should it be disabled?
And why is Billy not in your list? He is so fast, he can easily travel from one Gate to the other on most of the Maps, regardless of their distance. Should his Chainsaw be disabled?
Surely not.
When it comes to Trap Killers, two of the Killers mentioned have a Counter - you can wake up vs Freddy at your clock to prevent Snares from revealing your Location and you can crouch over Hags Traps.
Trapper needs to travel to the Exit Gates first AND needs to have a Trap ready. This might take enough time already to open a Gate. Demogorgon might not have any Portals left he can use - if Survivors would not remove every Portal they find, even if it is in an area where no Gen or anything is left, this might be the case. He also has a Cooldown to his Power.
The only Killer where it really can be a challenge is Trapper, but he needs to prepare this in advance (most likely). And if he has done it, he did what a Trapper should do anyway, didnt he?
What needs fixing are the Exit Gate spawns and their Distance to each other and to the Hatch. A Killer should not be able to stand between them without any need to move to see them both. And it should also not be impossible for almost all of the Killers (except Billy) to not be able to patrol the Exit Gates.

I get your point, but it only really works if the doors spawn ridiculous close together, or if you have already trapped a door before hand if doors spawn far apart, of they spawn far apart, then a door could already be getting open while you trap the other door. You dont even need to use a trap killer, whispers in my opinion is the best end game tool you need. Not that I get alot of end game with just one survivor 😂 because I suck, but when I do, whispers always gets me the last kill.. okay so I just noticed you where actually complaining about it, I didn't read the entire post 😂 no it shouldn't have notifications removed. Also plague I guess is also a trap killer at end, sometimes I vomit on one switch only and go check the other, because I know some potatoes will forget they have a brain and touch the vomit covered switch so I know where they are 😂
