Pause Hook Timer During Facecamp / Allow Killer Option to Unhook?

Sometimes I actually want to give the 4 man escape away if everyone brought BP offerings / wasn't toxic / had fun chases / it's an event mode / etc., but I still like to play the game - so I'll usually go for 8 hooks and then just slug if I down anyone else.

But just had a situation where it was clearly not a team on coms and no one was coming to rescue the person on hook. Tried to get her anti-camp meter filled up fast enough but wasn't successful, so just a thought that it would be nice if the timer either stopped entirely while the anti-camp meter is filling up, or give Killers the option to "allow" a survivor to unhook themselves if it's the last 5 seconds of their timer.

    I have always wanted the ability to unhook a survivor as a killer, but doing so would absolutely need to give them permanent off the record until the timer expires or until they perform a conspicuous action to ensure the killer cannot weaponize it. That means the survivor could get hit many times and still be fine as long as 80 seconds isn't up or they didnt do a conspicuous action. This would ensure the killers intent is to definitely let them go free and not just try to tunnel them out. Either that, or have the killer unhooking also remove a hook state and just give them a basic off the record.

    There's plenty of times I've noticed none of their teammates come to try to save them even if i entirely left the hook area. Would be nice to give them a second chance.

    Give the survivor off the record, and have Entity claws come out and lash out at the killer, stunning them for 10 seconds!

    Anticamp should be deactivated if only 2 survivors left.

    The most use of anticamp I see is for snitching teammates and not to prevent facecamp.
