Buffs to perks that help you unhook safely?

A fair amount of killers now have powers that make unhooking extremely dangerous whether due to the potential of an insta down or the ability to hit multiple survivors simultaneously, or the ability to very quickly return or perform ranged attacks at the hook from a distance , yet there are very few perks that make unhooking safer, only desperate measures, no one left behind, and (indirectly) deliverance. I think it would be nice to have some buffs to no one left behind and desperate measures to solidfy them as perks to help get unhooks safely

    These are some proposals I have for some related perks:

    Desperate Measures:

    • Increase bonus from 14% to 15% per stack
    • Add new effect: Dead survivors now count as a stack

    - Explanation: DM is imo already a decent perk, but I think making its bonus from 14/28/42/56 to 15/30/45/60 would help it stand out amongst other support perks. I also believe dead survivors should count as a stack since the survivor team is significantly affected by fewer members. Since the perk only affects healing and unhooking, I don't see this perk being broken from having permanent stacks.

    Reassurance:

    • Add new effect: Reassured survivors are unhooked 10% faster (until unhooked)

    - Explanation: Reassurance is a solid perk, but I believe it can be improved by giving it a bonus effect on top of pausing the timer. In most case scenarios where this perk is used, the hooked survivor is in a sticky situation, so allowing them to get unhooked slightly faster will allow this perk to be more appealing.

    Better than New:

    • Add new effect: Affected survivors also unhook 16% faster (on top of the other bonuses they receive)

    - Explanation: This unique (yet lackluster) support perk allows healed survivors to perform certain actions 16% faster including healing, but unhooking should be counted too.

    Resurgence:

    • Add new effect: You are unhooked 15% faster by other survivors

    - Explanation: Even though the perk received the well-deserved buff it got recently, I believe the perk still has room to improve. Since the perk is nearly useless when the killer is camping, I believe giving the perk the ability to assist in unhooking would be sweet.
