Scourge hooks: One scourge hook per map quarter?
The RNG of Scourge hook spawns is often a pain in the butt because sometimes you have 3 to 4 Scourge hooks that spawn in one area and then you down people in another area and aren't able to hook them on a Scourge hook.
My solution to make Scourge hooks less dependent on RNG would be:
How about dividing each map into 4 parts and from all hooks in one of these quarters one hook will always be a Scourge hook?
Plus killers aren't forced to waste another perk slot for Agitation to reach Scourge hooks.

If only it could be done... I think there is a limitation in the fact that hooks would need additonal meta data, defining zones for each map, and which zone of the map they are in... which may be a rather gargantuan task.
In lieu of this suggestion actually being made a reality...
I still wish Scourge Hook: Hangman's Trick gave you 2 more additional scourge Hooks.
- Synergises with its own effect.
- Matches its purpose as a perk to make it easier to reach a Scourge Hook.
- Makes it actually worth considering for a Scourge Hook build...

That would be a possible solution to make Hangman's Trick decent, but that's not a solution for the whole problem because you still have to waste a perk slot to make Scourge hook perks less dependent on RNG. And even then Agitation would be the better choice instead of Hangman's Trick.

Or they could make it so that if you only use one Scourge Hook perk you get the normal four and then every other Scourge Hook perk increases the amount of Scourge Hooks by one. This would make it be better to have several of them and not just run Pain Resonance. This would for example make Hangman's Trick useful again as you can have max seven Scourge Hooks on top and the four in the basement if you use Monstrous Shrine too.

I like this suggestion. Rewards running multiple Scourge perks by increasing the odds you can make it to one in time. Might have to cap it at like 6 maybe. Worth testing out.

Scourge Hooks wasn't supposed to GUARANTEE one every hook state.

Personally, I never liked Scourge Hooks mechanical and for the similiar reason as Hexes. Relying on RNG to get value from your perks just feels bad.
