Hangman's Trick - shorten distances between hooks
I was thinking about how Hangman's Trick is generally considered a pretty terrible perk, and realized one possible unique buff they could give it would be to build into it a Decrease Distance between Hooks by -1/2/3 meters. Basically build the various Oak offerings right into the perk. With that buff, and especially if you stack it with an additional Oak offering, it could shave off quite a bit of time and risk from carries.
An even flashier boost would be to have it actually allow the killer to spawn an additional hook location periodically on the map. It would end up being a similar net effect, namely making it less risky and take less time to carry someone to a hook, but the ability to actually summon a new hook out of the ground could be kind of cool to watch. 🙂 . Obviously though this is the much more programming intensive buff, adding in the existing Oak offering buff would be more straightforward.

Also make it take longer to sabo hooks
Yeah I’m surprised it doesn’t already have that as part of the effect to be honest.
An additional Scourge Hook would be a nice idea too. Not on its own, of course, but as a secondary effect.
