Bleeding out the last survivor(s)
Hey, could there possibly be a "leave match" button if the last survivor is being left to bleed out? Instead of losing all the BP and getting a DC penalty. It's a waste of time, and the Killers that do it intentionally are kinda petty. Sometimes there aren't any hooks left nearby, but it's still just a waste of time. It would be like condeding, and then everyone can move on.

Yeah, I really don't know why they won't add something like this. I've personally thought of an option to bleed yourself out or something after 2 total minutes of being slugged. Still gives the choice if waiting out the whole timer for some other plays if the survivors want.
The killer still wins, that's two minutes to find the last survivor, which can be laughably easy with the right perks or even killers. Of course, I'm sure some people would still complain because "muh 4k".

If there's only one survivor left and they're being left on the floor, the bleedout bar should just rapidly progress to end the match. Forcing a survivor to sit through the entire bleedout during that situation is bad design.

I am not endorsing this kinda behaviour, but I have done it a couple of times to real mean bully squads, because I know that they were a team and were all waiting to get into the next game and my standard response in the EGC is always something "sorry, I thought you guys like bullying so much". But its a really douchebag move when done to regular survivors.
On the other hand, do you guys have any idea how much of MY time as a killer main has been wasted by survivors waiting at the exit gates with the sole purpose to rub in that they won and twerk mindlessly? Yeah, I could scare them out, but I would rather not face that humiliation and keep a small sliver of dignity after a crushing defeat. Bleeding out as the last survivor is nowhere as common as BMing the killer at the exit gates (I know that this is a bit whataboutissm, but its still a fact that killers get BMed way much more).
I am still advocating for a general perk called "Just Leave" that exposes survivors who stay in the exit gates area for too long and errect the blood warden barrier for them alone, until they move 42m away from the gates.
Also, there is this one corner case: the killer won fair and square, the survivor didn't play in any charming way to win over the killers heart, but even BMed them during the whole trial, but due to unlucky hook spawns the killer can't hook the survivor. The survivor could accept the L and not crawl into a comp corner and struggle ... but most won't, so in such cases, its bleedout for them.

This is one of the reasons that stuff like this will never get fixed. Players don't want to lose their ability to grief others, because they want that tool available for when they deem it appropriate.

Not really compareable and a very weak argument. And not only "a bit" whataboutism, quite a lot.
First of all, waiting for Survivors to leave takes only half the time it takes for Bleedout. And well, you can do anything you like during this time. Like breaking Pallets or just using your Power to get some more BPs. What can a Survivor do while on the ground? Recover for a few BPs. Great.
And, as you said correctly, you can force those Survivors out. If you dont want to deal with the "humilation" (lol) and "keep your dignity" (lol²), this is a you-problem, nothing else. You have the option to force them out to end the game, but decide against it. The Survivor bleeding out on the ground does not have that option.

Well, for ones, thanks for taking my concerns serious and not making fun of me. Second, while it is a bit whataboutism, it still stems from the same root: players being aweful to each other just to griev. And claiming that waiting at the exit gates only takes half as long is about as ingenious as you can get: I might have bleed out inentionally as a survivor probably less then 5 times total, yet I would be hard pressed to remember 5 games as a killer, where survivors didn't wait at the exit gates for extended periods of time; the two aren't in the same ball park, not by a mile.
But you are also mistaking me, I am not advocating to keep bleeding out just because I want some revenge on some bullies, I just wanted to raise awareness at this isses that basically every single killer faces oh so regularly. The survivors time spend bleeding out purposefully is but a minute fraction of the time survivors waste of killers time, so it would be pretty nice to change both sides ability to BM. (Hint: even though I identify as a killer main, I play a good portion of my time as survivor, too, somewhat between 65/35 and 70/30% ... shocking, I know).

Yes, its petty to do it on purpose but shouldn't be able to just 'concede because being bled out does not count as a kill, for points nor for adepts, nor should IMO you be able to play in such a way that it's impossible to hook you and expect the killer to be like "Welp, guess I just have to let them escape!"
So let's say you're trying to get a flashy save but the killer decides to down you, then hook your friend, then go back for you... They are last hook, so they die.. now you get to concede? That cheats them out of the adept. Or say you crawl into a dead zone where it's impossible to hook you.. is the killer now obligated to let you escape?

Repeating myself here but yep I have been asking this for years... plus situations where killers intentionally slug everyone and bleed them out (have a Nurse that does that here EVERY match) you should be able to concede the match rather than have your time wasted bleeding out.

It’s not an issue when it’s something that’s fully under your control. It’s a video game, if someone teabagging you at the exit gate really makes you that upset, you’re probably taking it too seriously.
Just force them out, this a false equivalence. You have zero agency when being bled out, you have full control as killer at all times.
