Anti-unhook system and call for help system for hooked survivors

Alright, so we've all been in a situation where a survivor on the team is just basically trolling (or playing poorly) by doing early unhooks. Not just "safe" early unhooks, but unhooks right in front of the killer's face, and this can lead to the unhooked survivor being tunneled. It also works in the end-game as well, you take a fresh hooked survivor off the hook in front of the killer's face it can buy you time to open an exit gate but it will likely lead to the unhooked survivor being tunneled.

So an idea would be an unhook prevention system. Survivors who are freshly hooked are displayed in a white aura meaning they cannot be unhooked. Once ~25% of the unhook time has passed they can be unhooked. They can also be unhooked if another survivor loses a health state while in chase. Or if the survivor on the hook cancels it.

Further, in solo queue and especially 2v8 sometimes you just get left on the hook. No one has kindred, people aren't paying attention (2v8), new/inexperienced survivors etc. A "call for help" system could allow one survivor on the hook to mark another survivor to perform the unhook. It could be as simple as the marked survivor now sees the hooked survivor's aura as being green. If the survivor completes the unhook they receive a double BP bonus.

(also, these are just ideas to solve potential problems in solo queue environments. of course other ideas could address the problem as well)

    Call for help system would be nice but I disagree with the unhook prevention system, Anti tunnel is being implemented to prevent those unsafe unhooks.
