How can we buff reassurance without making it infinite you say?

Reassurance is kinda meh and not at all helpful in solo queue and only a little helpful in swfs as long as everyone brings it. My suggestion would be to make it a token based perk. Make it have 3 tokens that can be used per hook state per survivor when you're within a certain radius of a hook, this will make it so that the perk is useful against camping but not abuseable, and of course the tokens are regained when the person is unhooked to then use again, and if there are multiple people hooked, the tokens are specific to each hooked survivor, so you can use 2 tokens on 1 survivor then go to another and use 2 and then go back to that same first survivor and use that last token, so when you are near enough to a survivor to activate the perk, it shows the amount of tokens you have left for them on the perk icon.

Hope that makes sense, I feel like it hard to communicate the idea I have in my head but yeah thats the gist of it.

    I think it should be an overall cooldown, as in after it's used NO ONE cause use it for 30 seconds or so, so everyone has personal cooldowns but the hook has a cooldown itself because when the killer is camping it is VERY useful to prolong that time, but no matter what 30 seconds of progression will be lost during that time, but you still will be able to pause it again yknow? makes it all less confusing

    The range should be bit bigger where it activates maybe 10m would be good and timer longer maybe 45s.

    I would rather have it be a one time use for like 60 per hook stage, than what it currently is.

    Reassurance is insanely strong it's just being held back by solo queue lack of info. I think the distance should be extended though I had someone camping a hook on rpd and abusing the entrance at the front gate to prevent me from proccing it on the surv.

    They should buff it in some way. Maybe make it work once per hook stage instead of once per hook instance or bring back the cooldown but give the survivor on hook the option to die if they are being trolled.
