No longer being able to lunge while going backwards?

I am not sure if this is a bug, or if the developers intentionally removed that mindgame potential from killers. But I used to see TrU3Ta1ent using that trick alot at loops. He basically pretended to go one way, but then lunged at a pallet while moonwalking towards it to catch a survivor off guard. I adopted that from him with great success. However some time ago, I noticed that I am no longer able to do that. When I try to lunge while going backwards, my killer just stops and lunges on the spot. I can lunge just fine while going sidewards, though.

Anyone else noticed that?

    If the game doesn't have anything to target then it isn't going to do much of anything lunge wise. It also most likely comes down to timing and needing to be completing a turn as you click to lunge.
