Ghostface buffs are not gonna do much

The Ghostface buffs are nice but you guys are missing the mark.
3 seconds off cooldown and slightly faster stalking isn't really gonna take him anywhere.
Half of his addons are just unusable and a very good part should be basekit (Headline Cut-Outs, Olsen's Journal, Chewed Pen, Lasting Perfume, Leather Knife Sheath. Drop-Leg Knife Sheath aswell or at the very least partially), and some need straight up deletion/rework (Cinch Straps (this one is quite literally a downside), Marked Map, Knife Belt Clip, Night Vision Monocular).
Walleye's Matchbook and "Philly" aren't really popular because they're too strong, but because half of his addons are not worth considering at the moment.

I would also give him basekit haste upon marking because sometimes it can be really hard to catch up to survivors after marking them.
But mainly, instead of reducing cooldown, I would love to see him get some form of cooldown reduction for using night shroud effectively. For example you could make his cooldown 25s for getting revealed, 15s for getting a night shroud hit, and no cooldown for marked survivors downed. Having Ghostface caught on tape partially basekit would reinforce stalk Ghostface and give better incentive to using and learning his power over just using Night Shroud to just go for basic attacks.

Also PLEASE make being crouched not trigger chase cause sometimes you can't sneak up on survivors despite them being completely oblivious to your presence, just because they are running which forces you to mark them from afar.

    In addition to an addon pass, I think he could really use something similar to Wraith where he has a slight haste buff in Shroud. Not much, just like 2-3%, so he has some mobility. This would help in chase if he has to chase, too.

    He should have more info based addons, from screaming to aura. Come on, he's a stalker, info is his bread and butter.

    He should be more encouraged to 99 and Mark, not just Chaseface in Night Shroud.

    He shouldn't have addons like Lasting Perfume and Chewed Pen which only encourage slugging and camping.

    He needs more than just basekit Philly and Walleye's. I don't understand why BHVR thinks he's in such a good spot he only needs the minorest of buffs, do they want to keep him weak at a 53% Killrate? That seems wrong and really unfair to Ghostface Mains…
