So why do people want low kill times

Okay I'll chime in. But first kudo's to both @ragnarokfps  and @xMaracmanx for having a civil convo while expressing their own views. On the internet that's rare XD.

I think people want lower TTKs because they are used to it by now. It's probably engrained due to the amount of shooters that's been in the gaming industry since it's inception. Let's take CoD as a franchise for instance since it has the highest community rating (own words, don't quote me on it). CoD is almost synonymous with fast paced action/TTK. Arguebly one of the reason why ppl play it. Look at blackout and the whole debacle of lvl 3 armour. It takes too long to kill someone and ppl don't want that in CoD. So it's been nerfed, nerfed and nerfed again.
(Srry for this I know the difference but ppl still have misconceptions about this game). Titanfall is arguebly the same in the way of fast action, but ttk is a lil higher than CoD. People still tend to think of this game as a weird 2.5 version of titanfall. With that comes a fast ttk I think and this is speculation. I played both titanfalls extensively and I can say that this game has a higher ttk than both WHEN you have armor. Without armour it's basically titanfall's ttk. Earlier this morning for example. I had the P20 pistol and was facing an enemy without a gun. I hit almost all shots from less than 4 feet but still had to almost shoot 2 clips in him for him to go down. If he had a weapon I'd be screwed. Lets say for argument's sake I missed 3 shots. I still had to hit him with more than 14 bullets for him to die and he had lvl 1 armour. That is alot of time if you're not going for headshots.

I don't however want lower TTKs. Maybe just buff the guns a bit but basically ppl think of the guns like each having their own strengths and flaws. It's true to a degree but you can't expect 2 equally good ppl who have 2 very different guns, lets say one has an LMG and one shotgun and it's close range, that the Shotgun guy is likely to win. Lets say he knows he's good, but also prideful and rages 'I HAD HIM, THIS LMG SUCKS. BUFF IT' to actually get his wish granted. Some guns just suck in certain regards and that's always been the case in the titanfall universe (I'm looking at you mozambique...).

This is my two cents regarding the issue. Hope you had a good read
