Ghostface camping/ ghostface revealing

So if he camps and he has good vision on the hooked survivor he can stay in the distance and if you try to rescue the hooked guy you get exposed in less than 4 seconds. Ok, you can reveal him you would say. That's the tricky part: revealing him feels so inconsistent, I can't manage to understand the correct settings in which I can be 100% sure to reveal him or not. So many times I was firmly sure that I was able to reveal him only to get exposed before I could say: "wait, nothing's happening".

I have played a few games against him, not many but not just a couple. I have a lot of hours in this game and this mechanich feels weird. I just played a game, my friend gets hooked and Ghostface walks a few meters away and starts stalking looking in his direction. I was hidden behing a jungle gym and I saw him doing the whole thing, from when he walked away to the time he activated night shroud and started stalking and looking around. He was 20 meters (more or less) away from the hook and i was 15 meters ≃ away from him. I wasn't able to reveal him, and I looked straight at him with him being at the centre of my screen for more than 15 seconds. Nothing.

I get it, you have to be closer I guess? But if I try to get closer he will expose me! Same if I try to rescue the survivor, because I can't reveal him. Now the only option is to prevent him from stalking me, but if I hide he can stalk me 1 second at a time and I've been instadowned so many times because I was so sure that I was able to break him out of his power, while 1,8 seconds were too much.

TL;DR: revealing ghostface feels weird sometimes haha

    Yeah, revealing is a bit inconsistent

    They should probably fix it so it becomes consistent and then maybe buff him a lil bit

    If the revealing mechanic becomes consistent it won't be long before people learn a few tricks and GF becomes less viable than he is now

    Maybe they could adjust it in a way that if they can't reveal you because you're too far away it takes a bit longer to expose? Idk

    Happy hunting fellow LC

    It's fairly consistent imo. Also you can knock ghostface out of night shroud even if you're hooked

    Until he does that head bobbing behind cover thing. He is very potent camper.
