The new ui survivor vs killer

Why does survivor ui show hook stages, meanwhile, killer gets slapped with some kind of circle bar?

    I think it's to discourage killer from tunneling a single survivor.

    Don't really see how that is supposed to descourage tunneling. If killer is tunneling a survivor he knows exactly how many times he's been hooked. On top of that killer has to keep track of how many times he hooked each survivor anyway. So instead of giving the other side the same QOL improvement they give killer a progress bar, which is completely useless. It's an icon that does nothing and does not give you any kind of information that is useful for the current game.

    I know it is possible but the Devs don't wanna give them the tools to do so to make it easier.

    It is to show the Killer is "making progress" and not losing despite hooking everyone twice.

    They still all escape, but least you got 8 hooks!

    Not true! While I'm still a fairly new killer, I don't keep track by name, but by character/outfit. However, recently, 2 Jakes wore identical outfits and neither had an item. They often ran together and I triple hooked one a lot sooner than I had thought. I wasn't tunneling, but he did die rather early and I did feel a tinge of guilt, but then remembered they chose to wear the same outfits. Not my fault I couldn't tell them apart. (I only got 3 stacks in BBQ by the end of the game, so I don't think I ever hooked the other Jake.)

    If they think it will discourage tunneling then they have absolutely no idea how people play their game, sorry. If someone is tunneling they already know your health states and don't care. They need to give the killer the same hook states info they are giving the survivors, there are a lot of reasons to do this and it isn't going to encourage tunneling. Seriously this is something killer players have wanted for a long time.

    I can't wait to not only be told by the results screen that im Displeasing The Entity but now I can know it while in the Trial!

    Im going to wear that "You should get more hooks!" icon like a badge of honor while I bleed out every survivor and watch the new MMR system have a stoke trying to figure out why this Rank 17 Killer with 6k hours hasn't gotten a hook in 2 years and who should we match them with.
