Killers being able to see hook counts

Should killers also be able to see hook counts just like survivors, next to each survivor's name? I personally think that whoever wants to tunnel, does it anyway already. So those of us who want to play fair when there are 4 of the same survivor character players in the lobby, I won't have to struggle trying to remember which Meg was the one that was already hooked twice. Sometimes I forget I've hooked the same person twice, even if they're different, so I would like to be able to see hook stage counts but maybe they're absent for killers for a reason?

    There is literally no good reason that the Killers cant see hook counts. It's as stupid as if Survivors werent able to see how many Generators were left or something.

    Survivor seems to be based on beginners who have just started, and killers are based on seasoned veterans and high MMR, so we can't expect any improvement.

    An alternative would be to show a death-hook indication when standing over / picking up a death-hook survivor.

    Nice killers can leave them / drop them.

    Tunneling killers get no extra help or info (unless a non-death hook survivor is also slugged and overlapping the tunneled survivor to try and make the pick up a 50/50, in which case the killer could wait for the death-hook indication to know they're picking up the intended target).

    I feel bad when someone goes to second because nobody unhooked, and then I sacrifice them and remove them from the match early. Those who want to tunnel will, regardless of the hook count being visible.

    For those that voted "No", why not?, someone that's tunneling doesn't need a hook counter anyway since they aren't trying to hook anyone else

    If they've been chasing one person the whole time, they probably will know what they look and sound like
