Chase recognition

I am chasing a survivor literally 10 meter away from me, running in circles as usual.
Why is this not considered a chase? It really hurts the killer emblems....

    It actually doesn't at all.
    Short chases are WAY more rewarded than long chases. So if you initiate a chase again and hit/down, you get a LOT of extra emblem points, while an extended chase wouldn't have given much.

    The goal of this Emblem is to receive as many points as possible:

    Points received for hitting a Survivor: 55 Points
Points received for finding a Survivor: 5 Points
Survivor Lost timer duration: 5 seconds
    Additional points are gained depending on how long the Chase lasted:
        less than 15 seconds: 90 Points
        less than 30 seconds: 60 Points
        less than 45 seconds: 50 Points
        less than 60 seconds: 40 Points
        more than 60 seconds: 30 Points

    So the poor chase recognition is actually really good for the emblems. Tho it's pretty bad for Bloodlust.

    @Runiver it's also the cause of true infinites still existing in certain areas.

    I remember the Devs saying that stuff like this is caused by the way the geometry on some objects are that cause the Killer to accidently break LoS which isn't intended.

    The ability to start a chase should definetly be tremendously changed. I once had a hacker I couldn't bloodlust because he kept breaking my LOS and therefore it ended the chase each time before I could do anything
