Sabo from back of the hook?

So I learned today apparently you can Sabotage a hook from behind? I’m sorry but this shouldn’t be a thing

You should definitely have to be in front of the hook (the same side the killer hooks survivors) to sabotage it, given that while you’re performing the action the killer is literally unable to hook

how are you meant to counter a body block AND a Sabo from behind before the carried survivor wiggles off?!

    90% of the time, the survivors are countering themselves by giving you free hits and/or not being on gens. If it's clear they're going for sabo plays, you can also go to a different hook.

    Starstruck is good counter against sabo squads.

    if some one is body blocking, some one is saboing, and you have some one else on you're shoulder, thats 3 Survivors not on gens

    There's also nothing stopping you from dropping the carried Survivor

    Pretty sure being able to sabo from any side of the hook was always a thing? I genuinely don't remember

    As annoying as this situation can be when it happens to me as killer, Sabo does not need another nerf.

    by dropping the carried survivor and start slugging... yes it sucks cause you won't get the hook (not of the survivor that you were carrying at least), but on other hand they aren't giving you much choices, plus they'll be busy to save their downed teammate, so 3 people that aren't doing gens...
