With all these new kits that are way more extensive and complicated, (way more than when this game first started), there are almost an insane amount of buffs that can be gained during a 5 min span. If you don't have someone to dispell buffs and you're using a team similar to your opponent(s) then you just have to hope and pray you get enough crits/rng to take out your opponent before time runs out, or at least this has been the case for me since I started using my Bastilla/Jolee team, (which everyone else in my shard is also running variations of).
I've counted 10 battles in the last 4/5 days that I've started getting timed out of, when if I only had even just 15-30 seconds more I could get the victory. I don't have a direct counter, (yet), to these Bastilla teams that all run Yoda. What do I do? This type of gameplay makes me not even want to try a lot of PVP battles now if I know before hand that the opposing team is vastly similar to mine. This happens more in Arena but also happens in GA and TW on occasion...

Still beatable when you study your opponent and learn when to mass attack and when to back off.
Increasing battle speed is not enough. Allowing higher time limits allows for more strategy in manual mode. More strategy = fun. It's the whole point a game really. Right now, the short time limit favors building brute force squads and running auto. CG may favor this because it means more $. Good game design should balance skill, luck, and money - a business needs to stay profitable, but right now the game favors luck and money a little too much.
