Hook Perk: Show aura of lowest hook count Survivor(s).

Like BBQ or Alien Instinct, but just show the aura(s) of anyone with the lowest hook count, I guess 5 seconds is fine. No distance requirement. In the case of a tie, show all of them? Either no additional effect, OR PERHAPS also do Killer Instinct heartbeat effect for 2 or 3 seconds the next time they enter your Terror Radius? (This could help against Distortion hiders, while being conditional enough to where they can still attempt hiding to a degree. It would also help slower Killers with no mobility to still have a general idea on where to go once they finally enter the general area. It could either be literally attached to Terror Radius, or happen based on distance from Killer, depending on balance. Also, it would be an infinite duration debuff on that Survivor that goes away once it triggers.)

Reason for Killers to run it:

Help get full use out of things like Pain Res or Grim Embrace, or other such perks that promote spreading out the hooks.

Reason for Survivors to not get mad:

Spreading out hooks is good, right? That's what you want?

Thoughts?

    I don't really see a reason to run this over BBQ, but it generally sounds fun.

    Buff to killers who don't tunnel.

    Just let Killers see the hook count for each Survivor just as Survivors can see it. I know their reasoning for not doing so is to discourage tunneling, but it really wouldn’t promote it. It’s not hard to run back to the hook and chase the injured person.

    Give me this, make it strong enough to hold its own with other aura perks, and I promise I'll never take it off my builds again. Sounds perfect.

    I would run this a lot, actually, it would also have very good synergy with Grim Embrace. Healthy perk idea. :)
