Scourage Hook: Hangman's Trick Rework

Hangman's Trick needs a rework. BHVR tried to rework it twice with a very RNG dependent idea that relies on survivors standing near hooks which isnt really a great design. Hangman's trick should act as a good support perk for other scourage hooks imo to reduce the RNG dependency of pain res, gift of pain, etc. Here's my idea:

Scourage Hook: Hangman's trick

4 Hooks become scourage hooks. Scourage hooks respawn 10s faster.

When a survivor is rescued or escapes from a regular hook, that hook becomes a scourage hook.

Survivors within 20m of newly created scourage hooks have their aura revealed for 3/4/5 seconds.

This still makes the first few pain res/ gift of pain a bit rng reliant but I think mid game is a pretty decent support perk.

    A scourge hook perk that gives you more then four scourge hooks as the match goes on? I adore this idea!

    Remember when Trapper mains would use Hangman's Trick to help deal with trap sabotage?

    Good times.

    I've had a simpler idea: sabotaging a scourge hook causes Exposed for 60 seconds.
