Any tips for Ghostface against Rank 1

I actually agree, I don't think Ghostface is decent at all. Against any kind of competent survivors he is reduced to a powerless M1 killer. That's when his reveal mechanic actually works the way its supposed to.

Once players get to a certain level, you realize that certain killers are much weaker than you initially thought. Specifically this includes stealth killers, and killers who have no power to help them in chase (different from an m1 killer, but they do overlap). Stealth is simply not an incredibly effective tactic for a killer, as players have perks, as well as just general awareness which allow them to essentially negate the stealth. As for the type of killer I was talking about, think about the difference between a killers like, say, Doc and Wraith. While they are both m1 killers, Doc has an m2 ability which will help him in chase, whereas Wraith does not (his ms boost after uncloaking is only useful at unsafe pallets which you would get a hit at anyways). These killers like Wraith, Legion, Myers, and Ghostface are often very good at getting first hits and against average players that's usually enough to get a down, as most players aren't very good, even at rank 1. However, when you go up against genuinely good survivors who can loop well, you will find that getting a first hit really just isn't enough, and these players can use the fact that you have no power in chase and waste a ton of your time. Sure, Ghostface can expose you, and he can hide his red stain, but as I said before he still needs to hit you to get that insta-down, and good survivors can play around not having a red light. My point is that he's really weak in chase, and really weak in map control (low mobility), overall making him very weak.

As for perks, I would say the #1 option is Sloppy Butcher, as keeping people injured can be useful. After that, any gen regression does well, as well as any chase perks.

Tips:

You can T-Bag to bait out a Dead Hard

Make Sure that if you are stalking, do so at an angle if possible, as you will stalk 2x faster

Try to hide 75% of your body when stalking, this will make it nearly impossible to snap you out of it

Don't over commit to strong players/loops, like I said before, GF is very weak in chase

Stalking during animations is useful, as the player will be still for a short period. Unhooks are great for this, you can get an almost guaranteed exposed state on the rescuer.

Popping Night Shroud while in chase can be effective given that it removes your red light, but it can still be played around so again, don't over commit.

Probably my best advice is use perks that are conductive towards you stalking people. Whispers, Discordance, Surveillance, etc. If you are mostly just taking regular hits with ghostface there is very little reason to play him over wraith.

Both are pure M1 but wraith has significantly more mobility with addons and actually has the ability to quickly drop a bad chase.

GF is really fun at lower and mid ranks, but he's so prone to being bullied by clued up survivors and poor map rng. He needs a decent rework imo.

I prefer the hit and run style without wasting time stalking. Hit and recover. Crouching sucks cos you can't see anything that low and standing up let's you get broken out of NS.
