Saboteur and possible tool box add ons ideas
At this current time saboteur or hook breaking in general really gives your team no advantage at all and if not wastes more time since you could be doing other things since there are hooks every 20 meters making both alex's tool box and this perk worthless in solo queuing but has the very slim chance of working in a four man squad but even then there isn't much worth to bringing them which is why for good reason they are on the bottom of both the lists they are on in terms of use.
I'm not saying make the hooks spawn at 25 meters or further away, killers would cry their eyes out at it (yes even i play killer and i can agree they are way to close but anyway) but when a map loads it doesn't take into consideration of the killer basement or different height elevations of hooks on the map meaning they could be within 5 or 10 meters for instance the hook that will spawn outside the killer shack even if the killer basement is in it or the hooks that will spawn right next to hill hooks and other spawns due to the maps designs making both tool box and perk worthless.
it isn't that fun knowing there is a hook right next to you, one on a hill ten meters away and maybe even one on the balcony's of the maps that have them.
For saboteur either make it go back to if a hook was broken it stayed broken but increase drastically how long it would take to destroy it OR when a hook is destroyed the timer start's at 30/45/60 longer than it usually would or somewhere along those lines which could be balanced out if need be.
If you really wanted you could make it a perma break till a certain amount of hooks like say 2-3 each per person that is running the perk but in turn for that risk it would either show your aura to the killer for 2-3 seconds like a normal scream or a chance of it triggering something like it that could be countered by calm spirit and then the rest of the hooks would have a normal count down timer on them like how the perk is right now and possibly slowing the rate down at which sabo tool box chargers are used at.
For Alexs tool box or as a general add on for tool boxes that can break hooks
Possibly create an add on that gives the ability to permanently destroy up to 2 or 3 hooks but increases the consumption rate of the tool box and making it a bit slower to give the killer a chance to react and stop their hook from being out permanently. (as how hooks currently work when they spawn and the perks current state) or with the longer down time with the better Saboteur
Or an add on that increases the timer of how long the hooks are down for by 30 seconds while increasing the rate of a charge being used.
I know its a pipe dream but hey a man's gotta dream.
