    Probably trying to make it so they can't be picked up or near by so they can be heal if they get off

    If im rocking the same skin as my friend I crouch behind the hooked person you would be surprised at the results.

    Exploit if they are on the left side in the back you can't pick them up from the right side of hook. By the time you get to the left they are on the right prevents pickup.

    Really? I have seen in special situations that the survivor has unbreakable to rescue the one on hook. It doesn't happen often though.

    As far as I am concerned. If a survivor is using a cheeky move to be unable to be picked up in order to do that. I find it close enough to be exploiting.

    I seen it like 3 times, i didn't even know that the survivors can even do that.

    Because they are selfish idiots who want the killer to camp two people in the same area. They need to crawl their butt away, so they can either get recovered safely and not endanger the one on the hook or get picked up so the hook can be saved. The only exception is an unbreakable play.

    And another thing if someone is on the hook and the killer picks up someone nearby, wait for them to commit to walking to another hook. Don't stupidly unhook the guy only to have the killer just walk on over to the same hook with the one they carry and be in a great position to attack everyone.

    A camping Leatherface got me with his chainsaw, he saw there to block my friend from being unhooked as I sat under her, jokes on him I had Unbreakable, Dead Hard, Borrowed Time and Prove Thyself, so I picked her off the hook as I jumped off and I took the aggro and lost him with a nice Dead Hard.

    Nice play there! Also you got the 3 perks right for that job too!

    Sometimes you can't unhook said person because healing takes priority.

    Which is honestly amazing at times. People tend to try and stay under on the opposite side so you can't pick them up as I stated previously. However, their teammate cannot be saved then XD. Get double free hits.

    I crawl sometimes towards used hooks or hooked survivors if I already know the killer will pick me up. I do this to try to increase my chances to wiggle off, but don't do it if I know I can stealth crawl. Never been a scenario where this caused more problems.
