Honestly what I hate most about high level play is how fast the game ends.
I can live with the insane amount of boring safe pallets with no mind games, or the broken tiles on new maps that have safe pallets that lead directly to shack/main building windows that create unbeatable loops, or the ridiculous amounts of "2nd chance" perks that so often deliver a free escape to survivors. I can honestly deal with that.
What I can't deal with is the 5 minute games.
Year after year I have to play to my utmost best, to the point where the game is STRESSFUL, not FUN, just to compete with Survivors holding M1. Killers still have ALL the pressure put on them and Survivors just need to hold M1. And I know for a fact this isn't just my experience, I regularly watch people like Truetalent, killer mains with 8000+ hours who have all 5 gens finish in 5 minutes or less.
You are basically allowed one or two small mistakes and that's it.
This game needs to pressure SURVIVORS to be good, not just killers. And I'm not talking about "red ranks" either, we all know red ranks is 50% immersed survivors who barely contribute to gen progress. I'm talking about the other 50%, the SWFs and survivors who are on gens every single second they aren't in chase. I guarantee you if BHVR had stats for top tier MMR and not "red ranks", you would see drastically different results, instead of every killer averaging 3.5 kills per match you'd probably see 1.5 to 2.
I realize holding M1 is boring but can this game FINALLY have SOMETHING that makes games last a little longer? Any time I am forced to play against 4 man SWF and the game lasts 5 minutes even if I "do well", I want to uninstall, and often times I do.

You might want to watch good Killer players instead of the one you named. In 99% of the games you can easily make mistakes as Killer and still win. I win most of my games and I suck as a Killer. But the Survivors are even worse than me, so I win.
And the number of really, really strong Survivor-Teams is so low, talking about tournament level here.
But as I said - watch good Killer Streamers and you will see, how often they win. And even tru3 wins most of his games, he just clickbaits a lot and even games where he loses 4 Gens early are often enough ending with a 4K for him (like, someone once did statistics for a few Killer Mains and tru3 had an average of 3K/game over 100 games...Which is above the 2k/2 escape which is the goal of the Devs).

Epic reply, assume I'm bad and give me the generic "bahhh there aren't that many really good survivors".
You claim true wins everything yet if you actually watched him you'd know how imbalanced he says the game is and says gens are WAY too fast.

The main issue is that any balanced loop becomes killer sided after 15 seconds of chase. Which makes balancing loops inherently difficult.

I wish this game didn't focus so damn much on looping.

Fast-paced trials are the worst, and they happen way more often than they should.

This. I don't even consider myself a great survivor as I mostly play killer. But I can loop the vast majority of rank 1 killers for 5 gens just by dropping pallets and holding w between loops. Its stupidly easy.

Because getting to Rank 1 on either side means nothing. Like, everyone and their mother is at Rank 1.

Yet statistics show the overwhelming majority of players are nowhere near rank 1.

Killers want to be able to camp and tunnel with very little counter-play? Then survivors will just continue to slam gens.

When I play with my friends, even doing a gen solo while my teammate is being chased around feels like it takes less than a minute even without toolboxes.
