No killer power nerfs to de-incentivize camping?

I don't get why some powers like Executioner's trails of torment are removed shortly after being placed near hooks and exits, while some powers like the Plague's vomit can be applied while the survivor is on the hook, meaning the survivor cannot 100% avoid being infected.

Killers like Shape and Ghostface are still gonna camp hooks because their power still works at stalking the unhooker. Same for Hags and Trappers with their traps. Same with Huntress and Trickster (and Deathslinger to a lesser degree).

Either stop vomit from infecting survivors on the hook, or let Ghostface 99% mark survivors while they're on the hook; let Nemesis apply the virus with their tentacle strike to hooked survivors; let Shape get to Evil Within 3 by stalking hooked survivors; let Executioner draw a trench and torment the hooked survivor; and so on.

Either let Twins, Executioner, and Dredge use their power near hooked survivors, or make Trapper traps near hooked survivors snap shut and cannot be reset until the survivor is no longer hooked nearby; destroy Hag traps within 16m of the hook when hooking and prevent new traps in the same radius; make survivors within 16m of a hooked survivor unable to be stalked by Ghostface or Shape; turn off Onryo's TVs within 16m.

    I agree that Pyramid Head's torment trails are unreasonably and unjustifiably limited in where they can be placed, especially compared to similar (more powerful) effects that other killers have access to.

    And it's not JUST hooks. PH's trails can't be put near hooks, gens, exit gates, stairs (up OR down), basically anywhere in the basement, on certain inclines, or next to each other. And considering that the torment trails ALSO: make a tremendously loud sound notification for all survivors halfway across the map, have a draining pool of usage, have a maximum amount of trails that can be applied, vanish after 75 seconds, deplete the pool you need to use your shockwave, slow your movement speed, massively throttle your turning radius, AND can be safely navigated by survivors who crouch-walk for less than a second... Well, the whole thing is a joke, top to bottom.
