If survivors are informed of every killer status. Killers should get the same.
Survivors have indicators regarding status that can affect them and the killer, they know if they are exposed, or a killer is undetectable on the map.
Borrowed time is a must-take perk and when used smartly by a team with the right perks, goes from being an anti camping tool to making no-win situations for killers on a regular basis. As with DS, it goes from "stop from being tunnelled" to "invincibility shield to abuse"
Showing the killer a small icon by a survivor portrait who has the endurance status effect would still allow the status to function, it would still be capable of tanking a hit, only it would at least give the killer the information to play around it, and encourage killers to go after the unhooker (which they should be doing anyway) rather than using it to tank a free hit.
Thoughts?

No game shouldn't reward camping/tunneling strats

That would actually be really cool.
I would only implement that after buffing solo queue, though, as part of the killer buffs to compensate.
In other words, get on it, Behaviour.

They already do.
When you get stunned, an icon pop up as to what stunned you.
Getting a ui indicator that a survivor has endurance is like survivors getting a ui that tells them when the killer is undetectable.

There are plenty of killer perks that survivors are not aware of until they are activated and some never notify the survivors even once activated.
You don't get notified of NOED until AFTER someone is downed with it.
You never get a notification when killer is running Tinkerer and has no heartbeat or aura.
There's no notification that the killer is running Franklin's until AFTER your item is knocked out of your hand.
Those are just 3 off the top of my head.

and then killers immediately use that information to wait out the timer for BT discouraging the entire point of bringing BT in the first place.
It's the same exact reason why Pig does not see her trap timers, it would be abused to confirm kills on survivors already trapped when they should be trying to find somebody else.

Will have to see what effects these boon totem perks bring , but i don't see a problem with this. Always found how survivor's can be directly told of hex status effects iffy tbh. Haunted Grounds, ruin ect.

Lol why don’t they just plop survivors in a small open field, in the dying state, with no objective? Would that be enough for you? That way you can get your 4K with zero effort, and feel super cool and powerful in the process. Awesome.

I feel like that will be an "obsession/no obsession" issue though, where people will always go after the unhooked person if BT doesn't show up. Also, I have to agree with the comment that says telling the killer a survivor has endurance is like telling the survivor a killer is undetectable.
