Scratchmarks bugged on Legion?

Am I the only one that experiences this? I played maybe 8 matches so far against Legion and they always seem to have trouble keeping track of me even though I just sprint away around trees and stuff and they somehow lose track. They are not going for someone else, they are still chasing me and searching for me in the area.

I also played Legion myself a few times and during frenzy, after hitting a survivor it seems like the scratchmarks vanish? This is usually not a problem but in close quarter with many line of sight breakers, it can be really confusing.

Are the Scratchmarks buggy?
Did they change them so they are not that visible anymore?

###?

    I don't think you can see scratch marks in Frenzy.

    Scratch marks are not visible during Frenzy. What's worse, I think the correct way to put it is that during Frenzy survivors don't leave scratch marks. This means even after Frenzy ended, there are no scratch marks on the path of a running survivor. You'll only be able to see scratch marks that appeared AFTER ending Frenzy.

    This gives a very strong counterplay against Legion, especially considering that they tend to look for another victim after hitting one while in Frenzy. Basically, they lose sight of you, they lose you.

    I think this will also make some tracking perks useful on him: I suspect Bloodhound, Stridor, maybe Whispers will be used more frequently.

    That's 100% it, thanks.

    Confusing, annoying and irritating as hell. This Killer is not just a Survivor 2.'0 in apprearance but also regarding their power and gameplay.

    Well they hide their identity in the trailer with David... Sooo close enough?

    Yeah what helps me is moving my camera while in the animation so I know which direction they are going. Also bloodhound help keep track of the person you just mended.

    I have no problems keeping track of survivors while in frenzy. Rarely do I lose them. He is hard to play in that regard but it makes you a much better player.
