Knight and Hag "Traps" and Hooks

Since you have done it with Skull Merchant, where her drones deactivate when you hook someone within a certain radius, can you bring the Knight and Hag up to date as well.

I am a killer main, and I still think that knight needs to have his guards not placeable on a occupied hook, within a certain radius, yes I know it is easily counterable, but if the Knight decides to camp too with the guard, it at least helps eliminate a potential double hit down, and gives the survivors more counterplay to the camp.

As for the Hag. I like hag, and trapping the hook has always been a Hag strategy, which is also sad that this needs to happen to have a decent game with Hag but all the best Hag players say this is her primary strategy. There shouuld be a radial limit on how close a phantasm trap can be. This gives survivors some counterplay in that regard. I have had players die on the hook because you crouch to get to hook, but cant get there quick enough, so you stand up and 3 of them go off b/c they are beside the hook. At least with a radial limit, She can still use that part of her power, although needs to be more strategic with it, but a survivor knows, at this distance, I can stand and grab them. I think this would be fair, although maybe a PTB to test it for Hag mains.

    Hag is currently getting nerfed and you want more? I hope you have ready 5+ buffs to make her viable without it. I doubt it.

    Knight is nowhere near strong enough killer to care about his camping ability.

    There are killers way better at it. His guard will not hit if survivor manage to unhook in time.

    It doesn't make sense to get killers in line. Why didn't you talk about trapper? He can use his power next to hook.

    Bubba, Trickster, Huntress, Oni, Billy.

    You can't really talk about standard when there is none.

    This limitation is killer specific thing. It's bad idea to make it standard. Some killers simply don't deserve it.

    Artist need it for sure.

    I don't know about skull merchant...

    And why the hell does Pyramid Head has it.
