Refusing to be Unhooked

Greetings! Only been playing for about a week, but already have a wish. I noticed that players often sprint up and unhook survivors when the killer is nearby, often causing that person just to die faster by being re-hooked. Can we get an option to hold down the right mouse button to prevent us from being unhooked when we don't want to be? Our survivor could kick them away, wave their hands, say "No, not yet!", grab on to the hook or some combination of those.

Losing points points for unsafely unhooking a survivor might work, too.

    You can gain points for a safe hook rescue (500 I believe) and you don't for unsafe, but the loss of points would be interesting, it would stop some people from farming their team.

    The only problem I can see with this is that it might cost the other survivors life.Perhaps changing the aura in some way when the survivor refuses to be unhooked, and the survivor has to hold it for 3 seconds.

    Was discussed already, such a feature offers great possibility for trolling.

    Personally, I would think twice whether I put myself into the risk of unhooking someone that will simply refuse to be unhooked

    But what if the other survivor have borrowed time? and he wasted a perk slot because he can't use it,thus ruining his gameplay..

    No, I'm against this. I run Borrowed Time and We're Gonna Live Forever most of the time. This change ruins me.

    This also allows for troll gameplay, I risk my life to unhook a guy and the killer is coming, and he refuses to let me unhook him and I die.

    Also it would be impossible for people that want to get achievements to unlock "taking one for the team" because only hits after unhooking someone count.
