Hook RNG needs to improve

It is well known that there are cases, where a single survivor dying on the wrong hook kicks you in the butt for the rest of the match. This does not happen because you were careless, but because there was simply no other choice. Resulting in every other down in the same area being unable to get hooked.

I just had one of the more extreme cases on Eyrie of Crows. This is the general layout of this map with the hooks closest to the exit I had both remaining survivors downed during EGC:

E is the exit. Basement was at Main.

I tried the hook on 5, 9 and the one on the graveyard tile. None worked. One survivor had Boil Over and Hope making it even more difficut.

Why is something like this even a thing? There was no hook offering used to get them further apart. So this is all base RNG. If something like this happens, It's not the killer's fault, because if you down someone around 7 (which was also the case here) you HAVE to hook them in the middle. And If they are dead, you are screwed afterwards. I can understand that you should keep an eye out for "bad hook spawns" but this is next level. This is unavoidable. And it can loose you games.
