Could you increase the range of Reassurance to 8 or 10 meters?

Reassurance could be one of the most useful perks when the killer camps someone in the basement, but it's basically impossible to use it there due to its low range of 6 meters. And when you're at it, can you make so that Camaraderie can activate two times per match (one for each hook stage). The range is already great (16m) compared to Reassurance

    I believe Reassurance needs huge downside due to how strong perk it is.

    → Increase range to 16m

    → Survivor performing Reassurance will recieve hook state

    While yes, the effect is strong (30 more seconds for other survivors to do gens or heal), it's still VERY situational:.

    • It's nearly impossible to activate when the killer is camping the basement (which I think should be fixed)
    • The base timer is already long (70 s) which is usually more than enough (most killers don't camp 24/7)
    • One survivor still has to be basically in the unhooking range to activate it which wastes their time and can sometimes put them in danger (and they might have to come back later for the unhook)
    • Most soloQ players insta unhook someone anyway even if you activated Reassurance
    • It doesn't do anything when you're the one who needs it (i.e. the killer camps and tunnels you)

    It can definitely be game changing, but that happens maybe in like 10% of my matches. 90% of the time it's basically a dead perk so I don't think it needs a downside (it has 1% pick rate according to nightlight). There are many perks that are way more reliable (Resilience, Deja Vu, DS, Prove Thyself, Iron Will, Resurgence etc). I just want the range to be buffed slightly.

    My suggestion for Reassurance was to change how the perk works:

    Instead of stopping the hook timer, it slows downs the hook timer speed by half, for 45 seconds.

    Increase the range to 12m.

    This would prevent people who use Reassurance to do last second saves and still punish camping killers if they stand close to the hook.
