When did killers start to become boring to play against
Was this around the time doctor/deathslinger came out which mean't you couldn't loop them reliably since they where always guaranteed a hit?

Uhhh what?
Doctor came out in May 2017 and Deathslinger in March 2020.
They can both be looped and are not guaranteed hits.

It's not really the killer that is boring to play against. The biggest problem is that every killer is played mostly with the same meta perks. Thus versing them is a bit the same, regardless of their unique powers.
In the end, you can't beat meta without using meta or trying really hard, so the cycle will continue untill something is done with the current state of the game.

Remember when teachables didnt exist? and it meant that no two survivor's played the same?

Funny I was going to say the same thing to you....
Your statement makes no sense and is fundamentally incorrect. While "boring" is a subjective word - the statement you made had absolutes which are blatantly false. Both killers can be looped and neither killer is guaranteed a hit. I main Doctor and yes I have tools to TRY to shut down someone looping me - if they are good enough they can still loop me.

It's boring if I can't loop you 4 times, drop the pallet, loop 2 more times and get hit, then either chain it into an insane tile next to me or greed and dead hard to the nearest pallet after. All killer powers should be replaced with " WAVE - Press M2 to slow speed down to 15% movespeedd and begin a wave animation at survivors, all survivors who are in LOS who do not have at least 50% of their model obscured begin to tbag uncontrollably".

Not sure how they’re the ones baiting when you are giving false info about those killers. They are loopable and also are very punishing when they mess up.

Not necessarily correct information OP but I sort of see where you are coming from.
We have 3 main categories of Killers.
Loopable killers.
Killers that force you to abandon the loop.
Difficult to loop killers/killers that negate the loop.
Loopable killers would be Wraith (2016), Hillbilly (2016), Myers (2016), Cannibal (2017), Pig (2018), Legion (2018), Ghostface (2019), Demogorgon (2019), Oni (2019) and Blight (2020).
These killers can be looped in a 'traditional' style with varying degrees of punishment for how you loop. The weakest here would probably be Legion (no 1 shot, cannot down you easily while in their power) followed by Pig whose dash ability cant break pallets (unike Demo, Oni and Hillbilly)
Killers that force you to abandon the loop would be Trapper (2016), Hag (2016), Doctor (2017), Nightmare (2017), Clown (2018) and Cenobite (2021). Two can trap a pallet rendering it difficult to loop, two can snare and Cenobite can hold you in place/slow down with Chain hunt.
Difficult to loop killers/killers that negate the loop would be Nurse (2016), Huntress (2017), Spirit (2018), Plague (2019), Deathslinger (2020), Executioner (2020), Twins (2020), Trickster (2021) and Nemesis (2021). These killers either hit over the pallet/loop or ignore basic chase mechanics.
In the past 2 years we've had quite a roster of killers that invalidate the traditional style of looping come out. Some might even put Cenobite in the same category as Deathslinger (hits over pallet & holds you in place but I'd argue the set up and transition time for Cenobite plus the fact that being chained while injured doesnt down you makes this slightly weaker at pallet loops.
I know that I prefer going against Blight, Oni and Cenobite than Deathslinger, Pyramidhead, Twins, Trickster or Nemesis but we might be in the minority.

When survivors decided to declare anything that is effective boring.

Teachables have been a thing since the game was launched.

Personally survivor becoming boring happens when the game stops being scary.
