Lightweight perk no longer makes scratch marks inconsistent or spaces them out since 8.6.0

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE:

The perk Lightweight has two effects: first, it makes scratch marks disappear 5 seconds faster, which works fine. Second, it reduces the spawn rate of scratch marks by 60% so they are less consistent, spread out more, less intense, and harder to track. This effect does NOT occur, and is/was the majority of the perk's benefit, as it's what let you lose chase on some tiles. This has been the case since the 8.6.0 update, when scratch mark spawn logic was changed to make it easier for killers to track/"more consistent". This seems to have killed Lightweight's functionality too.

For reference, the left picture below is WITH Lightweight, while the right is WITHOUT lightweight. Somehow, the lightweight is more closely grouped and easier to see.

    I'm really hoping this is fixed. Lightweight is such a nice passive perk.

    This is still an issue. The second half of the perk's description does not work.

    Lightweight was so cool and underrated. I used to run this perk before the scratchmarks update and it was really fun to confuse the killers. I tested it a few days ago with Fixated and saw my scratchmarks being the same as normal scratchmarks, literally no difference. I hope they fix it soon so I can use my build again.
