Hook Switch Position If Camping

An Interesting Idea would be that, if the Hooked Survivor is being camped, the Hooked Surv would then switch Position on another Hook. An animation for that could be Vigo with a book for the Surv switching position, or maybe a Light from the Sky that would make the Hook go underground, and another light would appear where the Hook would then be Placed, and the Killer wouldn't see the Hooked Surv aura's for 35 seconds.

    That would allow other survivors to go for an incredibly easy save and the killer would get little pressure from hooking survivors. It would also make pyramid head's ability to cage survivors no longer unique.

    I don't think it would be some big deal the fact that they wouldn't be unique, they maybe could modify something of the cages, but this would make the game more fair in general.

    It would completely change the game though. A survivor with WMI could heal a hooked survivor before the killer even gets back. It wouldn't be more fair because it would nerf all killers. The game is already heavily survivor-sided, this would break it. And what if the killer has to resort to camping? They could literally do nothing in some situations.

    If it was a perk with a significant draw back or one-time use I could see it being feasible.

    Something like: When hooked on a non-basement hook, your first attempt to unhook will no longer have a chance of escape, but will instead transport you to another random non-basement hook on the map. Escape attempts consume an additional 60%/50%/40% of your life bar.

    That way you're sacrificing life bar to use it, and it only works on your first hook. Plus the killer will still see which hook you're moved to, and could still have a chance of getting there before another survivor. And the killer has a way to mitigate it entirely by hooking you in the basement. But it's giving the camped survivor some semblance of control over their fate when they're in the most hopeless situation of being camped.
