What's the average time of a trial?

Maybe I'm out of touch or just a noob with 1.5k hours on DBD. May I ask what's the average time of a trial suppose to be? I'm trying for no slowdown builds alot these recent days and my average trial as a Rank 1 Billy with BBQ&Chili, Bamboozle, Enduring and Spirit Fury. The end results is an avg 5 minute trial and about an average of 6 hooks and a depip for me.

Is this balanced? I get super quick trials due to everyone holding M1 and all of us in the trial get a maximum of 20K blood points.

    No slow-down builds are all about your ability to snow-ball. Whether you win or lose, the game is going to go quick. My games tend to be around the 9 minute mark, I do use slow down, but I use ruin and I have it just to buy a bit of time to get rid of some pallets. Once ruin is gone I'm looking to snowball into a win.

    god, a game lasting any more than 10 minutes sounds horrendous. whats the point of dragging a game on anyway? to me its a sort of "the ends doesnt justify the means" kind of thing.

    I play killer when alone and SWF with friends.

    Survivor matches average about 8 or 9 minutes with shorter matches being around 5-6 and longer ones being around 10-12

    My killer matches are typically 10-15 minutes.

    Feels like from the moment the lobby counter hits 0 to the moment i exit the match, 15 minutes will have passed.

    I often check what time it is after a match but not to check how long a match was so i don't know for sure.

    Around ten minutes if the teams are balanced.

    Whats really interesting is that in the hardcore survivor challenge with Dowsey, Otzdarva etc the average game takes 15min even if they stomp the killer. This is bc they spend time to do all totems (noed) and try to get pips.

    A sluggy Killer is going to have faster games. I think that's the intention of Billy, if you can land good chainsaws.

    It also isnt rewarded in terms of BP's and Pips so, I would only play this way if it's really fun for you.

    Note, that it's probably not much fun for Survivors and they will likely leave with little BP's and depip as well.

    Five minutes or so. Get gens done or get hooked, but it's rare for me to have a ten minute + game.
