Now, with Ghostface's crouchwalking speed...
EDIT> apparently I was wrong about Ghostface moving at full speed while crouching. We don't know the exact numbers yet, so I'll wait for PTB before bringing this up again. I still think the stealth part of the Pig's power (both the crouch and the ambush attack) could use some love though.
Can we buff Amanda's?
Don't get me wrong, I don't think she's garbage like most people here do. But it's no secret that most killers struggle to compete with good survivors at high ranks, so a small buff wouldn't break her as well.
Ghostface will be able to move at normal speed (4.6m/s) while crouched. I don't think that number is subject to change, because they emphasized it a lot on the anniversary stream (with other numbers on his kit/perks they made it clear that they were subject to change). I know that the PIg also has the RBTs and the Ambush Attack (which could use some love too imo) but I don't think increasing her crouch walking speed to 4m/s or even a bit higher would make her overbearing. (current speed is 3.68m/s for reference - survivors move at 4m/s while running).
She's meant to be a stealth killer, too, but the amount of times where it's simply not worth it to travel even short distances in the map while crouched is pretty high.

Is there something I missed? The people on stream said that Ghostface moves at 4.6 m/s while using Night Shroud and that he also has the ability to crouch (among other things). They didn't say that he moves at 4.6 m/s while crouched.
They also mentioned RIGHT after bringing up the 4.6 m/s thing while Night Shroud is active that the numbers are all subject to change.

If I'm mistaken my bad, but I'm pretty sure they said about him being able to move at normal speed while crouched. That's the feel I got from the dev build footage as well.

For me it would be pretty much too strong. If crouching speed would be 4.6 m/s. Why wouldn't you crouch all the time? Even in chases.

I won't comment on the dev build, but the exact words regarding the speed on the dev stream were "When you activate it (Night Shroud), your terror radius shrinks to zero, and it makes it much more difficult to be detected by Survivors. On top of this, you're also moving at full speed, so 4.6 m/s." It's not until later that they mention the crouch.

Makes sense. But I mean, if Ghostface has the ability to have no terror radius and red stain while moving at 4.6m/s, I don't see why the Pig shouldn't be able to move faster while crouched. The point still stands... kinda?

Sort of, but remember that Ghostface loses access to his Night Shroud power temporarily if he is spotted. Though I'm not opposed to Pig getting a bit of a speed boost while crouched.

-edit- wrong thread. never mind lol.

Well I possibly don't feel like she should move in the full movement speed.
Because there are some scummy pigs that will make the game really and fun for some survivors by Crouch tunneling them when they have a reverse bear trap.
Thinks she should move her at the same speed as tier 1 Myers when she crouches would mean that she still is able to get decent map pressure rather than being crippled by moving slower than nurse.
It would also help her when she's using Amanda's letter as she would be able to stay in Crouch a lot more frequently as it doesn't waste a whole lot of time

If it wasn't for her dash attack I'd say sure but since she gains the speed boost that's where it gets a bit tricky, If the distance for dash attacks was reduced then maybe.
It'd be a nice buff to her to be able to be a stealth surprise attack killer, I'd probably play her a lot if she got this buff.

From the leaked info on this chapter we saw Ghost's add-ons and some of them were for crouch movement speed. Since the PTB isn't out just yet there's nothing more to say about that because it's speculation and guess work.
Ghostface's 0 TR and red stain go away when he is spotted, this makes his possible normal crouch speed balanced because he can crouch but people will hear him. If Amanda had normal speed while crouched then she could be overpowered because everyone would crouch everywhere and be the best sneaky Killer there is. I do this anyway of course, if I'm not in chase I sneak up to people.
With that said maybe Pig's Strap add-on could increase crouch movement speed as well? That way she'll be faster but it's an add-on.
