Stibnite Flask always worked like this I'm just blind please ignore.

NOTE: The below post is me being dumb and blind please ignore and enjoy delve.

Loveing how the smoke cloud is much darker and easier to see but when and why was it nerfed to no longer create a smoke trail that follows you and now just leaves a puddle where you used the flask? Unless your an evasion build the flask is pretty much usless when escorting or moveing.

EDIT: Being corrected

i think that created smoke cloud never followed you (Shrouded Shrine always creats smoke clouds wherever you go i think you are talking about that) if its gonna follow you its way too over powered since blinded enimies already loose 50% chance to hit

Having looked through a bunch of random older videos I believe that you are in-fact right and it never followed you. The misconception on my part is most likely due to the fact that the older smoke cloud was too faint and the smoke shrine worked as I believed the flask did. In addition to fast clear and visual clutter it was not noticeable that it did not follow.

Edit: spelling failures.
