Remove unhook Endurance and replace it with this.

The unhook Endurance (aka basekit BT) is almost always abused to bodyblock with and protect the person who unhooked you. This is not the purpose of the unhook Endurance at all, it's to protect the one who was unhooked, not the one who did the unhooking. This is the very reason I was always against the idea of basekit BT, but it ended up getting added anyway.

While I understand the need for it, it's too abusable. What needs to happen is the player should lose their collision with the Killer, as well as their hitbox, for 10 seconds upon being unhooked. This would prevent Survivors from bodyblocking after being unhooked, and this would solely protect the one who was unhooked, which is the whole purpose of unhook Endurance. This would also serve as a buff for the mechanic in a way, as Killers couldn't just block your path and wait for the Endurance to wear off, nor could Deathslinger spear you, pull you in, and wait for the Endurance to go away. Conspicuous Actions will also cancel this, as with Endurance.

BT should simply grant Endurance after the hitbox and collision are restored. They could still use this to bodyblock however I do not think it would be an issue in this case, due to the time it takes to get the effect and the fact that it requires the unhooker to have this perk.
