Barbecue & Chili needs a new Effect
The new change to BBQ basically just makes it an aura reading perk that lasts for up to 4 seconds. This doesn't really make Barbecue & Chili feel like Barbecue & Chili anymore; it just makes it into Barbecue without the Chili.
So, let's cook up something better with Barbecue & Chili to make it a worthy successor to what we have.
Current Barbecue & Chili (as of the upcoming Mid-Chapter update)
- After hooking a Survivor, all other Survivors' auras are revealed to you for 4 seconds when they are farther than 40 meters away from you.
New Barbecue & Chili
- After hooking a Survivor, all other Survivors' auras are revealed to you for 4 seconds when they are farther than 32 meters away from you.
- Each time that Survivor is unhooked, so long as you aren't within 16 meters of the unhook, your movement speed is increased by 5% for the next 20/25/30 seconds.
- Hitting the Survivor that was recently unhooked will automatically deactivate this effect.
This effect would be a monstrous one to have; the ability to be given an additional boost of speed for up to 30 seconds after a Survivor is unhooked would be incredible to have and incentivize not camping the hook in order to gain the effect. And to ensure that you don't try to abuse the perk outright, you're given an incentive not to tunnel by going after the rescuer or another Survivor with this boost of speed.
This new effect would give Barbecue & Chili something to still be useful for in spite of the Bloodpoint bonus removal. Even if the developers do not agree, I hope that something is done to give Barbecue & Chili the respect it deserves for what we are losing.
What are your thoughts? Do you think this would make Barbecue & Chili feel fresh and juicy or do you think this would be too overcooked?

I like it have an upvote! Maybe trim the range to 34-36 meters 32 is a lot closer then you think
32 meters is there to help give the Killer basically the ability to tell if Survivors are in their Terror Radius, which can help them in multiple ways. Mostly to know if the Killer can safely leave hook to get the secondary effect.
I get that but i do think a survivor whos chilling close by should have more meters to manuver around and position for the save. Espically with the upcoming changes. 2 or 4 meter might seem small but it helps out a great deal and as annoying as that can be i do think the speed boost to another gen will more then compensate for a swift save.
This would give survivors a clear indication of how close they need to be.
If you can hear the heartbeat, you're close enough.
but.
what if i just use the Speedboost, go after the just unhooked Survivor... wait out their Basekit BT (5 seconds) (also this Speedboost counters the Basekit BT Speedboost) and then just down them again ?
Sure they can have Off the record or the buffed BT. But ... Some tunneling Killers dont care.
All this would do, is make it easier to tunnel off Hook.
