What is a "Hook action"?
Hello there,
I'm quite new to the DbD Community (started playing the game roughly 2 weeks before the MMR-thingy was introduced) and there is something bothering me.
I'm playing as "Killer main", but something in the endscreen iritates me, maybe you can explain that to me.
I played a game as Legion, got 10 or 11 out of 12 hooks (I guess one got two stages at once), last one survived through gate, after hatch was closed.
In the endgame-stats however, it shows "10 Hook actions" and according to the description above, for Iridecent quality you need 9 or more hook actions. I got silver on the devout category still.
I attach some screenshots, but honest question - are the "hook actions" in the description and in the rating two different things?
I know, you'd probably need to see the whole game to be sure, but on this high hook rate, I'd expect it to be at least golden? Is that some sort of bug?

Yeah it’s very likely just outdated description.
the emblems are also very much dependent on your current grade, meaning the conditions are lower if you are Ash IV compared to Iri I. So a set number is not likely to directly decide the outcome

The "hook action" is when you actually physically hold the space bar to put the survivor on the hook- if they progress through hook states without being rescued, that doesn't count as a hook action.

Thank you for that fast response, jesterkind!
but then it's even more confusing to me, because the last survivor was on two hooks as well, only needed the last one. So, with one survivor alive, all others hooked, one on two states at once, it would still be "10 hook actions" as shown in the endscreen.
Is the text in the description misleading then? because it says "Iridecent quality needs nine or more hook actions" and I got ten?

that part is that you need to 4k, I believe.
it's just to dissuade camping, but for whatever reason, it punishes the killer if survivors have bad teammates who let them die on hook. -unless I'm just wrong.

Thank you for your responses, Bennett_They1Them and Mooks!
This made it clearer and I probably took that text too strict and more as a "how it should be" and not as guidance.
