Although I see the reasons of frustration when it comes to that (some could say it's a rather cheap way to create tension and constant feel of threat lurking in every corner), remember how easy it was to kite every creature? Especially more-so if you were in an open map such as KF_Mountainpass (my favourite level due to it's open-wide looks, space and lighting)? That can make any game rather boring in the long run, granting you unnecessary ease to plan up your move. (Although if there will be a perk for this specific weapon is still a mystery.)
Katana is still an off-perk weapon, since in the previous game, Scrakes fell down easily with a high-level Berserker's since all you had to do was hit them in the head and the constant "ouch I was hit in the coconut" -animation would grant them a free hit without being touched upon, so obviously Tripwire wanted to reduce the ability to cheat your way through. You kind of have to compare the predecessor with the newer one: (Kind of wish that they'd left Fleshpound's original voice from KF1 in, since it was excessive at it's finest.) Derplington" as what they were back in KF1 with their goofy, often hilarious voice - instead, they're jacked up menace to society, alongside with Fleshpounds. Nonetheless, I do like the fact how imposing and dangerous Scrake's have become. (And to think that FP's have two large miniature grinders on them for fuck's sakes!) Compared to KF2's Fleshpound, they may have imposing looks, but their aggression meter runs out, giving you space to plan up your next move on the run and while they do take a nice chunk of health off from you, they take LESS than what Scrakes can with their chainsaws.
In KF2, Scrakes have more wider range with their chainsaw strikes, slashes and hits, come more often, sometimes in packs of two or three at later waves and once you have set one off into their neverending running-spree, you're done for: they will run at you, follow you right behind your back until they reach you or corner you and have a so-called "spin 2 win" move which does loads of damage. (That and they only did slightly less damage compared to Fleshpounds, who were worthy of their fearsome title who would run faster than anyone else once enraged and just pound 75% of your health off if need be). They behave somewhat similar to their predecessor, but in KF1, they were managable once you're high in level and you could easily kite them all around and keep your distance. Perhaps one of the most notable changes in Killing Floor 2 is the fact that these days, Scrakes are the biggest threat in the entire game. Foster - your Pulverizer needs ammo and there's a Scrake about to chop you to piec.
