Survivors should know the percentage chance they have of struggling off of the hook

As I have been playing the Switch version with the rank reset bug, I've been playing with new survivors. While I don't expect them to be a looping god, the annoying thing about playing with them is that they instantly struggle and put themselves into second state. This has caused us to lose games that, if someone had one more hook state, we would have won.

While it wouldn't stop all cases of this happening, I think a good solution would be to show the percentage chance you have of escaping the hook (4%). If a new player saw that figure, they might be less inclined to struggle straight away. The percentage could also change depending on perks and offerings used. A hope that this QoL feature will be considered for implementation as it can improve the quality of matches at the lower ranks, especially since so many new people are joining recently.

    This is a good idea. Things like this are mentioned in game guides like mine, but I understand not everyone wants to/has time to read those. The way the interface is set up in-game with key prompts makes it look to the inexperienced eye like attempting to escape is not only a valid option, but what you're supposed to do when hooked. It is hinted at in the tutorial, but not made nearly clear enough in my opinion. It wouldn't be difficult, I think, to just have it say "ATTEMPT ESCAPE (4% CHANCE OF SUCCESS)" or something.

    I thought you were saying something totally different until I read the post lol. I think this is a good idea.
