Increase scourge hook spawns

The minimum should be 5, the same amount of dull totems survivors get for boon totems. But preferably at least 6 to completely eliminate how awful RNG can be on some maps. The greatest offenders being Lampkin Lane, Backwater Swamp, Lery's, RPD. Since we are already usually having to give up any use of BBQ because of how centralized the spawns are the least you could do is make sure we HAVE THE OPTION to use a scourge hook every hook.

    I feel like if they could manipulate somehow where they spawn ( guaranteed one somewhere in the middle and other near the "edges" ) it wouldn't be that bad.

    It would be great if it was just applied to all hooks. If survivors can do boons unlimited times and with any totem, I don't think it's unreasonable to have a scourge hook perk apply to all hooks for it to be reliable and consistent.

    I believe scourge hook was designed in this way to soft counter using BBQ and chili for the auras. You'd either have to choose between the aura reading by moving to a farther hook, or go to the more centralized scourge hook and risk not getting any aura information.

    I don't know, it doesn't seem like these perks are made to be an alternative to aura perks like BBQ & Chili (or at least, not yet). I think these perks are made as an alternative to perks like Pop and other gen kicking/slow down perks. Both scourge hook perks are to slow down healing and gens.

    The upcoming scourge hook perk does give you some information, but I don't know if it's enough to replace aura reading perks if your killer needs more info.

    I don't know, I think the scourge hooks are an alternative to slowdown perks, like Sloppy Butcher, Pop Goes the Weasel, and other gen/healing slowdown perks. I don't think they are an alternative to information/aura reading perks like BBQ & Chili (at least, not yet).

    The upcoming does give some information, but I don't think it's enough to replace an aura reading perk if your killer needs more info on where survivors are at.
