Give a SH: hangman´s trick treatment for other perks

So, in the game we have more than 100 killer perks, and only 5 of them are scourge hooks and it feels weird, looks like you guys just really don´t want to make more of that ´´special class´´ of perks (Also, rework hangman´s trick PLLLLSSS it´s so bad)

But going fot he actual point of the post, there are some perks that, in my opinion, would be literally the most perfect options to make more scourge hooks, and they are:

Blood Echo, Furtive chase and Leverage

But why them?

1: they´re all hook-based perks

2: Scourge Hook: Blood echo is such a cool name and you can´t deny it

3: They all have a hook in their icons

Scourge hooks are more likely to be stronger perks because they need you to hook a survivor on 1 of 4 random hooks that can be on the other side of the map etc etc etc

Blood echo in the current version only works on injuried survivors, gives 2 of the most… ignorable effects in the entire game, have a painfully giga gigantic cooldown, this is not a perk that ´´NEEEEEDDS´´ a buff, but making it a Scourge hook would almost force you guys open a window to making it a better perk (unlike what happened to hangman´s trick)

Furtive chase current effect is fine but the obsession mechanic is what makes it… bad, you need to hook almost every hook to get value from it because the new obsession will just as fast as overdrive hillbilly to not give ou any value from it, so making this perk a scourge hook that works on every survivor will discourage the ´´camping factor´´ of the perk

Leverage effect is not terrible but to make a good use of it you need to speedrun the match (or just hit and run as wraith lol)

the numbers are so… small, and it only works for heals, i think it should make EVERY altruistic action slower, unhooking, healing, doing gens together… or just make the current debuff stronger, also, Scourge Hook: Leverage is another really cool name

    I've been thinking Grim Embrace should be a Scourge Hook perk as well.

    Hangman's Trick needs a buff if not an outright rework, so does Leverage.

    Not so convinced Furtive Chase is bad, it has some interesting niches with Friend's Til The End, Nemesis or Game Afoot. With FttE obsession perks have a new lease on life I feel.

    Blood Echo could do with some love, Leverage definitely needs a lot of Love, and Hangman's... oh boy... this needs a really hard buff.

    I don‘t like giving perks the hang man‘s trick treatment. This perk got ruined by being a scorch hook. It was ok before and maybe even an alternative to other tracking perks.

    I think those perks can just be buffed without being scourge hooks
