What would happen... If Ghostface received a SINGLE buff?
- After hitting and downing a Marked survivor, HALF of Ghostface's "Night Shroud" is instantly recharged.
Rewards Ghostface for prioritizing stealth.
Assists Ghostface in getting his power back more easily.

Sounds like a good idea honestly.
But I feel like at first the devs should work on fixing the reveal of Ghost Face, as it seems to be pretty inconsistent right now.

Seems fine to me, you just need to be quicker, as the entire "Reveal behind walls" is actually no glitch, but a game mechanic. It takes 1.5 seconds to look at Ghost Face to reveal him.
While being looked at, he goes into a "Discerned" state. And there is a 0.3 timer to go from "Discerned" to "Out of Sight". It's 2 little sub-states that was never mentioned in the power, but exists in the game files.
Meaning, if Ghostface is seen for longer than 1.2 seconds, it's too late.

I don't know. Relying on ghostface's stealth is, well, unreliable, because most survivors keep their head on the swivel and see you coming.
The way I see it, ghostface's stalking stops being worth using the moment the /Time you would spend chasing a survivor for one hit / is less than the \Time you spend sneaking up on them and fully stalking them\. The stalking stage essentially becomes the first part of the chase, of which the survivor may or may not be aware of.
If most survivors see you coming and are able to put distance between you and them, then you're not really getting much out of GF's power, especially if survivors know how to use that distance. Combine the time you take to sneak up on them with alternative pathing and crouching and whatnot, you're giving up a lot off time twisting yourself into knots to use his ability. The most success I've had with actually stalking is to 99% a survivor and Shroud before I hit them, which isn't really stealth at all.
Try using his no-stalk build that just uses stealth for free hits and mindgames. Thanato Sloppy Nurses Dying Light. Its far more successful.

Here's the thing i main GhostFace but the only thing id actually like to see done is fix the breaking out issues other then that hes solid i dont think he needs nerfs and or buffs right now hes in a really good spot imo.

I gave up on stealth almost completely at the moment it needs a buff i use ghostfaces ability plus some perks to find survivors as fast as i can which is pretty good so far i usually get around 4 to 2 kills a match

Doesn't sound too bad. It rewards GF for playing the way they do... although to be honest, if you're hooking a survivor you downed with marked, you'll probably have your power back by then regardless. : P

I'm fine with the idea, but this guy is right. Most of the time after you down a survivor, you'll drag them off to a hook. By the time you'd hook the player the cooldown would be up anyway. So when you think about it, all this would do is promote slugging. Personally, I just think the the cooldown should be shorter period. Not by a lot. But a couple of seconds would go a long way.

That's true, but there's still certainly bugs with it. I've glanced at him before for a fraction of a second, then had the entire sound play out while behind a wall and he gets revealed. This isn't stare at him and it just happens to reveal him in time, it certainly works through walls for long durations on occasion.

Or if you stab someone, maybe have a KI indicator of any nearby survivors for a few seconds. If that were the case, then I'd want the cooldown cut in half. Other than that, not so much.

How about he has the ability to get in a locker instead?
I kinda feel like GF needs something else besides stalk -expose-down.
This could work similar to how Quick n Quiet works. It would make him more lethal and VERY something he does in the movies.

I can tell you already:

They should probably fix the consistency of the stalk reveal first.

@nerfeverything Yes, the should work on that first. The consistency for it is honestly stupid.

The problem is that sometimes you can be looking straight at Ghost Face while he is not hiding behind anything. You can see him in his entirety, he is close to you, and yet nothing happens. I had it happen only once to me though, but other people seem to have faced this issue more often.

Yes, yes, yes! I really like this change it could allow GF players to use addons other than Power Recovery
And with power recovery that would easily boost Ghostie insanely high
1 -
not rly . if u dont use cd addons u still need wait ages for your power . this idea is actually great and it rewards stalkers rather than those who use power just to hit survivor ,

I like the change. That said, it doesn't really improve the stalk enough to be worth using more. Currently in 90% of circumstances it just isn't worth using his stalk. You are better off just using his power for the Undetectable and getting surprise hits. Stalking costs you time and pressure with a high risk.

That's how I play him. Most of my 4K games at red ranks don't involve a single stalk. You lose the free M1 and don't get the stalk off anyway most of the time. He's actually quite good with an anti-healing build like Sloppy/Nurse's/etc. Staying injured against Ghostface is insanely risky on most maps.
0 -
Yup, exactly how I play him as well including the same perks.
Against low ranks his stalk might work but at high ranks they aren't oblivious and you will very rarely get a stalk in and by even trying to you just missed out on a free hit.
I have fun playing him this way but it really feels like bad design when the best way to use him isn't even using his power.

His stealth is pointless regardless.
I posted millions of times that he should be able to tp to lockers and stalk from inside for map pressure and fear and stealth but they didnt listen ha. They dont listen. They have kept the gen speeds bs for years.
I wish they would buff him but he needs something different. Something that isnt myers but trash. Watch how true talent plays him and you'll find that its most effective if you never stalk.
