Hangman's Trick is ACTUALLY Unusable
Basically as the title says, this perk is going to be completely unusable compared to its previous counterpart.
Sure it has 12 meters range, but when this perk only activates at 4 randomly designated hooks that could be in close proximity to each other, placed in dead zones where objectives won't spawn, and placed in areas that will BECOME dead zones after some time, and STILL requires that Survivors be carried and you have to actively take time during the wiggling to look around for Survivors...
Yeah this perk is unusable. This perk is going to be a tier of its own on how unviable it is.

Very least I'd allow the aura reading to persist while the Survivor is hooked, though maybe not on the hook the survivor is on, so as to discourage stayingbe that hook. Incentivizes saving on the survivor side and gives a more persistent effect for the killer.
Hangman's just doesn't have a niche and making it a scourge hook without making it somewhat useful for a scourge build just means it'll never be used.
Hangman's has never really been a good perk, but for a while it had a niche to repair destroyed hooks from sacrificed survivors which they could have brought back with the scourge change.
The other thing, they could make it so scourge hooks take longer to sabo as well so it actually functions as a counter to sabo plays on your scourge hooks.
The fact is, it doesn't matter if you see the sabo survivor at your scourge hook. Even if you change to go to a different hook avoiding the sabo play, you were still forced to not hook on the scourge hook losing out on other scourge perks.
