New Killer Weapon Idea - Whip

So, I dont know what the killer should be like, but I have an idea for a new killer weapon - a whip!

-------------------------

How does it work?

You can of course M1 normally like any other killer. Your M2 weapon, the whip, is a short range attack that hits a little area like maybe 2 meters away from you. It doesnt hit if the survivor is too close and it doesent hit if he is too far away. The whip can have a short windup before it strikes.

-------------------------

What does it do?

Naturally, a healthy survivor hit by the whip will be injured. The interesting part is when you whip an injured survivor. If you do that, the whip wraps around their neck like a lasso downing them in the process. When the whip is wrapped around a survivor, you will drag him behind you on the ground. The survivor cannot be healed and cannot recover while being captured by the whip. He hast to wiggle free from the whip (same like when you carry someone, but for a longer time). Once he wiggles free, he stays like a normal downed survivor on the ground and can recover. The killer can move and act freely while dragging a whipped survivor, but he cant use his whip as long as a survivor is being dragged (and maybe he should be slowed down a bit). The whip breaks instantly if you whip someone through a window / over a pallet, after you vault anything (you obviously cant drag someone through walls, thats why) or if you pick the whipped survivor up.

As an extra feature, there could be several "gallow stands" additional to your standard hooks. if you pass by such a gallow, you can hang your whipped survivor by tieing up your whip to the gallow stand (which counts like a hooking action). A hanging survivor has to struggle constantly (for air). The "hook timer" for hanging is always the same, it does not change compared to hooking. It could be for example a bit longer than 1 hook stage and a bit shorter than 2 hook stages. Anyway, if the survivor is not rescued by half time he will be broken for the rest of the game (or maybe some other punishment), and if he is not rescued at all of course he dies. Hanging does increase the survivors hook counter by 1 like normal hooking. While a survivor is being hanged, the killer does not have his whip, since it is occupied for the hanging. After a hanging survivor is rescued or perished, the gallow stand could maybe break.

What do you think? This is my first Killer Weapon Idea :)

At first, I didnt want to make another ranged ability, but I think the fact that it does only hit at a specific area away from you could make it interesting because you have to hit them at the right range.
