Why there isn't a single good perk againts sabotage hooks?

If you get 2+ members of the same team who work together with sabo toolboxes, you will almost never hook anyone, which is very frustraiting and only leads to slugging and tunneling the Survivor(s) who does this. You can pick toolbox with good add-ons (perks) that make you sabo the hook before the killer can recover from hitting you. We have so many many perks for aura readings, regresions, finding Survivors, decreasing action speeds, causing status effects, etc. But why there isn't a single goood usable perk if you dislike or want to counter at least somewhat sabotage?

There isn't. And no, Hangman's Trick isn't one of them. Mad Grid also doesn't count, that's for body blocking. There isn't a 1 single good perk to counter it.

Why not?

    Nope, that perk just makes you carry Survivors easier and for tiny bit longer, it doesn't do anything directly with sabotage. The best very soft counter would be Agitation since you move faster and you also can carry futher than with Iron grasp by a bit.

    You guys use a perk for that? What's wrong with slugging and tunneling?

    As stated, Mad Grit, Agitation, Starstruck, and Iron Grasp all counter this play style. Then again, genuine full sabo teams are so infrequent it feels like a waste to run a build like this.

    If you mean just one perk, I suppose they could do something like a survivor being exposed after sabotaging a hook or they’re hindered or something. But again, it’s like Lightborn, you could run it in 10 games and o only get value once or twice.

    It's already been mentioned but Agitation + Irongrasp. Oh and AA. Don't like that? Drop and slug a #########. Next question.

    I've always thought Hangman's Trick should debuff survivors for sabotaging hook, apply Exposed or Hindered to make it easier to drop the survivor you're carrying and chase down the saboteur.
