Hook State Indication

General Idea: Create a fast way for survivors (and the killer) to notice the hook state a player is on in the bottom left menu quickly and easily.

How to Accomplish: Create an indicator in the form of two dots under the survivor portrait. All survivors start with two dots under their username, followed by 1 (after the summoning stage has begun) followed by 0 (after the struggle phase has begun, when you are "dead on hook"). Because it's not exactly difficult to count to two, this is a fast way to glance at the bottom left of the screen to quickly remember which hook state the survivors/your teammates are in.

Rationale:

1) Streaming, YouTube - When watching a stream, it is often that people drop in mid-stream. Seeing these dots in the bottom left would let those just tuning in how the game is progressing. On a YouTube video, jumpcuts often make it difficult for those watching to see when/if someone was hooked in the time before and after the cut.

2) Matching clothing - If you have 4 default Jakes in your lobby, it becomes beyond difficult to remember whose been hooked how many times, especially if there is no obsession. This would eliminate this "strategy" (if you can even call it that).

3) Non-SWF - Allows for communication of hook states to players not playing in SWF

There are probably a thousand other ways to do this, but I really thought that the game could benefit from something like this. Open to critique
