NOED doesn't work?

Yesterday, all day, I (a rank 16 killer) was constantly paired with Red Rank survivors.

After a while, I got sick of them just running literal and figurative circles around me, so I added NOED to my perks. Match goes relatively...okay. I manage to hook a survivor or two once or twice, but they still managed to catch me off guard and finish all 5 gens.

Obviously, Red Ranks again by the way they easily looped me, managed to almost always be ahead of me and sabotaging hooks right as i'm approaching them, etc.

So, NOED kicks in, but I was already carrying a survivor. I put them on hook and this Steve pops up from behind a wall attempting a rescue. A Ha, my NOED Totem is still lit up, my NOED Symbol is still active, I approach Steve as he approaches the hook, I hit....He safely unhooks my survivor, who now has Borrowed Time, and they both run off.

I manage to find a roaming, healthy, survivor, down them in one hit, carry them to a hook where Steve is trying to sabotage hook. I manage to down him too (still NOED), all is hunky dory. I hook my survivor, try to pick up Steve when Adam casually tried to unhook my survivor. I approach Adam, Totem and symbol still lit up, and....once again, nothing. He safely unhooks, the survivor once again gets BT and they're off. By now, Steve had been healed and they're off. Exit gates were 99%

All of a sudden, my totem just vanishes (no explosion sound) my indicator light goes off and lo and behold, NOED is completely gone at this point.

I know it wasn't gone before, because I made sure to look around and saw the lit up totem and symbol on my hud when I hit the Adam.

That was the moment I set my controller aside, said "######### it" and turned the game off for the rest of the night.

Also, yes, scoring at the end confirmed I was once again playing against red ranks
