Should Ghost Face have a 24 meter Terror Radius??

This is something I've been going back and forth on since Ghostie released.

The most recent cooldown changes were quite welcome, but I still feel like it's kinda in that sweet spot of being just a little bit too long in basekit to feel like a reliable stealth power against more experienced players— especially on smaller maps or maps w/ many pallets like The Game or Garden of Joy (though these maps are pretty tough for a lot of the cast, fairly).

So, I figure Ghost Face having a smaller Terror Radius would be a more… interesting and nonconventional way of buffing him. Should Ghostie be the next 4.6 m/s, 24 meter terror radius killer, following in Sadako's footsteps?

Alternatively, should Ghostie have a way to reduce his Terror Radius on the fly more akin to The Pig? I'd really enjoy seeing something like Ghostie's Knife Belt Clip add-on (reduces Terror Radius by 12 meters while crouching) be integrated in his basekit? This would enable Ghostie to be consistently more stealthy by slightly softening the blow of losing Night Shroud and letting him be a little more stealthy during that kinda lengthy 17 second cooldown. Seeing as Chucky, for instance, has a 10 second cooldown on his stealth power that's MUCH stronger in chase, this could be a route to take that doesn't include purely reducing the cooldown to something super short.

Right now I could go either way on it, and could think of some pretty good arguments for both sides. I dunno, lemme know what you think. :)

    Good idea.

    I think one mandatory change that should happen is survivors not being able to reveal you on hook. Or at least reduce the range they can reveal.

    I get that it was added to prevent camping, but:

    1. You can still camp as Ghostface, you just have to position yourself where they can't reveal you.

    2. Camping as Ghostface is stupid idea anyway.

    3. It's a massive annoyance. You get revealed from 30 meters away behind a rock by a hooked survivor

    I don’t understand why most stealth killers have a huge terror radius anyway. I’m all for reducing them for those killers. Your other suggestion sound good too.

    I did actually suggest earlier this week that Ghost Face get the delayed reveals add-ons on hooked and downed survivors added to basekit!
