Hear me out: I'd rather have more basekit buffs to Killer than to have pallet density reverted

Pallets are fun to play around for both sides (excluding god pallets) especially with Killers that have a vault ability built into their kit (excluding Legion.) It's interesting and engaging to play around pallets. More pallets isn't necessarily a bad thing; what it hurts is the weaker killers (especially M1 killers) that are reliant on melee range to take down their victims. This is why killers such as Legion and Ghostface are especially suffering from the huge number of pallets.

So I propose a basekit buff to all Killers. Some people may suggest to exclude these buffs from some killers (as we saw in the Krasue PTB where some buffs were less effective) but hear me out. My proposed buffs below promote and encourage a healthy and non-toxic style of play, allowing the buffs to be applied to higher tier killers.

My proposal: Every time you hook a survivor that is not the same as the most recently hooked, all generators on the map pop for 7.5%, begin regressing and you gain 5% haste. If you hook the same survivor twice, you don't receive these effects.

Numbers can be iterated on, but for now I believe this is ideal because it encourages the Killer to spread hooks around, ensuring everyone can have fun while also incentivizing the killer with regression so that they are less pressured to tunnel a single player out of the game.

This way, we can frame the pallet density update as a sort of preemptive compensation for Survivors for the Killer having mapwide regression and a bit of haste.

Discuss below.

    While this would be nice, 7.5% can easily and fastly reverted, haste is nice but maybe 10-14% gen pop might be more reasonable but that's just me

    Instead of power creeping the killer role I think they should just roll back some of the pallet spawns on maps that don't need them, like asylum for example.
