Multi-directional hooking

It frustrates me to no end that survivors can body block a hook till the end of time and deny you of a kill, and if you even did get that hook (unlikely) they can unhook then straight away from the sides of the hook and body block the survivor to safety. Very frustrating. I wonder if being able to hook survivors from the side would make the body blocking less effective and more fair on the killers side.

    Yes, I would like this QoL change to make body blocking fairer.

    This honestly should have happened alongside the multi-directional unhooking. There is no good reason at all not to have done so.

    Nah only survivors are allowed to unhook from all sides. This is realism!

    Its a bit bs though since we need to basement just to multi hook sides
