Both El and Will have been through so much that, out of all the characters, they especially deserve to survive whatever S5 throws at them. Otherwise, I feel the show would disappoint its audience by snatching away hope for a fair and happy resolution.
The same goes for Mike – his death would be devastating, especially for Will and El. He needs to survive! I genuinely hope these three make it through and find their happy endings.

will you be disappointed if el has more screen time than will in S5 once again and if everything gears up to yet another showdown between El and Vecna?
1) yes
2) no
3) nuance

Max: You were stabbed. Do you remember anything?
El: Only the ambulance ride to the hospital.
Max: That wasn't an ambulance, we drove you.
El: But I heard a siren.
Nancy: That was Robin.
Robin: Sorry, I got nervous.

Apart from being thematically inconsistent and narratively illogical, a Mlvn endgame would be absurdly anticlimactic lol.
… “And then Mike and El… continued to date?despite clearly not being on the same page? and despite them only kissing once in S4 and not during their desert reunion? and despite introducing a bowlcut-shaped gay elephant in the middle of their relationship and doubling down on unresolved feelings in the penultimate season through a painting? and they lived happily ever after and got married at 18 and had 2.5 kids and a dog in the suburbs cause Mike was finally able to monologue that he loved his superhero girlfriend at first sight in a pizza shop? while the boy who is canonically in love with him stood right there?”

Sometimes it crosses my mind that El must've never forgotten how desperate Mike was to find Will, and how angry and dismissive of her he was when Will was thought to be gone forever.

What I Need in St5 (That isn't ship related)
I need Will to save El from something. I need Will to not be a damsel in distress and El to not be a superhero. Not for the whole season or anything, but like, he saves her from a demogorgon by thinking outside the box. Will isn't violent and subverting their current roles by making him violent doesn't sit right with me. This would prove that yes, Will does care for El, and vice versa, which some people are still skeptical about fsr.
More of Robin and Nancy being best friends. And, address Nancy's trauma of losing Barb and how that affects her friendship with Robin. I want to see Nancy being protective of Robin, never wanting to let her out of her sight. And I need Robin to remind her that hey, despite it all, they're still young. They're teenagers. I need Robin to remind Nancy that she can still have fun, and that it's not her fault that Barb died. (Also I need them to solve the mystery together, their detective dynamic is so great.)
I need Vickie to befriend Jonathan. I need to know more about her as a person, not just as Robin's crush. If Argyle's not gonna be around this season I need Jonathan to have a friend, who he isn't linked to in a weird way (Steve is his girlfriend's ex and his ex bully and as much as I wanna see them interact and form a friendship, I also need him to befriend Vickie.) Jonathan's character development into making friends with her could also be quite interesting. He's never really interacted with anyone his age other than Nancy. (I love his dynamic with Argyle, but I also really need to see him with a... less high person.)
The party interacting, as a whole. Combining their knowledge to solve problems, arguing over stupid shit and getting to be teenagers for once. I need my nerdy little boys to be together for once, they're always separated. When they're together they're unstoppable.
El interacting with Lucas! Oh my gods, since season one we've scarcely seen them in the same room! I need to see them bonding over their grief, and working together on where Max's consciousness is. I need them to bond over high school and feeling like they have to be someone else to fit in. (We're getting this for sure, but I need this more than oxygen.)
I need Mike to be leading THE PLAN! When Mike leads the plan, they win. S1, they saved Will, S2 they saved Will and closed the gate. Both times Mike was heavily involved in forming the plan. In S3 Mike's Sauna Test worked, it confirmed that Billy was flayed. And his physics moment. But in S4? They lost. Why? Because Mike wasn't involved in the plan!
I have way more but that's enough for one night, lol.

*El sneaking in through the window at midnight*
Jonathan, spinning around in a swivel chair: Care to explain where you were- why won’t this chair stop spinning. El I know you’re doing this. STOP THIS INSTANT. STOP I’M GETTING SICK. YOU’RE GOING TO THROW ME OFF THE CHAIR STOP
