WGLF re-work
WHy should wglf be re-worked?
So Wglf isn't a bad perk by any means but in its current state it really messes up the team. When ever someone runs WGLF they obviously want to get stacks for it, but it ends up hurting the team as they waste a lot of time go for hooks they shouldn't and taking unnecessary hits.
Taking hits for an injured survivor is almost completely worthless as the bodyblocker will have to heal and the killer will likely still get the injured survivor. Taking hits while the killer is carrying someone is also pretty useless as the killer gets to the hook anyway 90% of the time and can usually start a chase with the Bodyblocker, which puts all the survivors in bad position only having one person being productive.
Going for unhooks doesn't sound bad, but when I ( Almost always using We''ll make it ) go for an unhook, but the person with WGLF takes it, it wastes so much time, as 1. I don't get use my perk 2. Both of us went to the hook 3. I don't want to go get any other unhooks as I don't want to repeat 1 and 2. This isn't a problem with other perks like Deliverance, as it helps the entire team, but WGLF only helps the player using it.
my idea for a re-work
You can only gain ONE stack from each player, including yourself.
Earning stacks from other players:
- Safe Unhooks
- FULL heals
- taking hits
Earning a stack from yourself:
- Self healing
- Escaping a chase that lasted 30+ seconds
I want WGLF to be more like BBQ, in that you can get all stacks in one game with-out having to out of your way to get them. By having them be spread out among other characters you aren't going to have them going for most of the unhooks. This also allows them to get the stacks by seeking-out injured survivors to help.
This is not quite perfect so it would be nice to get some feedback on how it can be improved.

Rather them use SC than get downed because they couldn't find a teammate. Also med-kits are a thing too.

How to re-work WGLF:
Make it do something. Literally anything. Just by not having an effect it inherently sandbags the team because you're using 3 perks at most.
Make it show the killer's aura to you and the unhooked survivor when you unhook someone. Then you'd know whether you should heal the survivor.
Make it give the unhooked survivor a temporary Hope effect. Then the survivor could avoid getting tunneled and make it easier for you to get stacks as well.
Make it have some kind of effect on the game. Please.
