Options to help killers spread hooks

This topic came up in another post so I'm giving it its own.

1. Make the hook states visible to killers.

Many players often ask for this. The argument against it has been that it could encourage specifically targeting people with more states. But with the game now baking-in the need to spread hooks, states need to be visible. Expecting killers to keep track while also constantly trying to find people and engage in chases is too much, and if there's going to be punishments, accidental tunnels need to be mitigated. Killers should also know when teammates allow each other to go second stage.

2. Give survivors unique aura colors that correspond with a border around there HUD image.

When I play survivor, I do my best to be stealthy and avoid the killer, so I'm proposing something that might actually harm me, but I think it would better for the game overall. With basekit aura read on top of aura perks, killers should be able to easily identify who is where so they can better choose who to go for next. If tunneling is to truly be combated (and I really want it to be) then it has to be easier for killers to know what to do next.
