Ghost Face: The newest freddy?
His power is an active hindrance much like pre-rework freddy's is/was, as it gives survivors so much information, and the ability to completely disable his ability. If Meyers, the heavy breathing Insta-down boi can have a game wide exposed status effect, with the ability to stalk mid chase to build up his game wide instant down, yet ghostface is unable to stalk one person for a decent amount of time if he's seen for less than 0.5 seconds (about 0.08, figured out with with stupidly high FPS at the cost of looking at a humanoid potato for a survivor) his power goes from "really cool and interesting stealth killer" to an almost worse Freddy. His power is beyond useless, it's downright frustrating. Imagine, survivor players, you couldn't fix a generator while in the killer's terror radius, or couldn't insta heal mid chase (key components as a gen jockey and runner respectively). BHVR I have some changes, and here they are.
1. No longer does looking at him remove his stalking power, it only slows it down, and it returns his terror radius and red stain.
2. He can stalk in chase, and if you guys are worried about survivor's feelings being hurt at a decent killer that isn't a piss poor attempt at a middelground for high teir play and fun counterplay COUGH.LEGION.COUGH, increase the time required to stalk.
3. Make it so a line of sight check is required to break him from stealth. You have it down pat with Meyers and his L.O.S. check 90% of the time. As a 50/50 survivor and killer player, I would rather have that semi-janky thing against and as ghost than across the map stealth break though 50 tonnes of corn.
To dissuade any complaints:
1. I am not mad at bhvr, I'm just annoyed. With "darkness among us" and "demise of the faithful" fresh in mind, as someone that can do the legion but better (plague) it just shows me they can learn and adapt.
2. When i bring up the survivor's "feelings" I'm talking about the players that used the pre changed combo of DS, selfcare, botany and an exhaustion of their choice. Y'know, THOSE players that just want a Mario party bowser rather than an actual killer.
Closing thoughts:
Any constructive criticism outside of formatting (I'm on mobile at the time of making this) is welcomed. Also, any arguments as to why he is okay at this state will be seen as valid as someone saying 90% of legion players aren't edgy teens wanting to live out their killer fantasy, or that decisive didn't need a rework just as bad as Freddy did.

Ghostface can possibly expose the unhooker if he camps. He does not have to wait 7 seconds before hitting a survivor. Ghostface has the power Wraith does in which he can activate his stealth and wait for the survivor to get unhooked so BT doesn't activate. The difference between Freddy and Ghostface is that Freddy can't punish Altruism, however, Ghostface can't delay the game.
