QOL improvement: Display how many hooks a survivor has left

in Feedback and Suggestions

It's easy to lose track of how many times a survivor has been hooked. Be you killer or if you are a solo Q survivor worrying about your team.

It would be really nice if there was some sort of indicator beside the survivor icons that suggested how many hook states are left before they die.

    Hmm...I'm not sure about this. I think Killers could use it to their advantage, either going harder for someone with less hooks, or just by knowing how well they're doing getting survivors overall.

    With Survivors, I kinda worry about people trolling you with it, either getting you killed or sacrificing you because you have more "lives" left.

    Other than that, though, I don't really have an issue.

    I'm pretty sure most Killers already can tell which Survivors are on Death Hook and which ones aren't. It's not exactly hard to keep track of.

    And with Survivors trolling each other, are sandbag games really that common for this to be a thing?

    I mean, I personally can't easily tell who's on last hook or not when I'm the killer, but if I wounded someone and then below their name there was one strike left, I'd know.

    I'm not really basing my comment on red ranks though.

    And during survivor rounds, I dunno. I still get games where people are working with the killer or body blocking or similar. It's not exactly rare, it's like 10-15% of the time or so that it happens.

    I'm not against the idea, but I do feel like, considering the amount of camping and tunnelling that seems to be happening right now, it wouldn't be ideal for a killer to have this info (from my perspective)...and then I'm kinda like...does anyone need it then?

    As a killer main, I’m totally against this idea. It’s incumbent upon the killer to keep track. I could care less about a killer who tunnels or doesn’t, but I do not agree with some sort of tracker that would encourage it even more.
