Shift-W Meta and survivor speed
Survivors are too fast, or maybe have too much ability to just run forever.
I suggest that survivors need a Stamina meter. Run too long, and you become exhausted.
Being Exhausted, in addition to its current effects, makes you pant louder and you become gradually slower until it forces you back into a walk.

Stamina is typical of games where the survivors can outrun the killer.
It would be redundant in dbd where killers are faster than survivors, barring Nurse.
You've got the problem backwards- survivors are not too fast, nor is their ability to run forever a problem. The only reason things like the W meta work is because map layouts aren't particularly well balanced, and because the killer's time is incredibly valuable so even wasting a minute is devastating.
If the game played a little slower and fewer maps had terrible setups for the killer, this problem would virtually disappear.
maybe so, but they're not going to redesign the maps. so i'd think next easiest way to approach this is either to tweek speeds, or a Stamina mechanic of some kind, imo.
