Ghost face is cool and all, but he’s kind of weak. He could use a slight buff like a faster night shroud recovery rate. That is all.

    His NS cooldown should be lower yes other then that, he's great killer already.

    They just need to fix his buggy reveal mechanic. I think the rest of his kit is totally fine.

    They need to reduce his cooldown while nerfing his cooldown addons as well. They overshadow all of his other addons

    If Chewed Pen becomes base-kit and his reveal mechanic gets fixed, he'd be perfect.

    Yea I think everyone can agree that his recovery time for night shroud has to be quicker.

    Just recovery time buff, everything else is good.

    I agree that making recovery addons worse and making his power cooldown lower would be amazing.

    Another problem he has though is his power is based on looking at people sneakily but the existence and popularity of both Spine Chill and SWF (voice chat) really hurt him.

    Yeah, he does need something - bug fixes. Get in line behind bb gril Sally. :(

    More consistent reveal mechanics on both sides, lower the cooldown on NS would be perfect. It is pretty annoying that Spine Chill still gives it away but that's not really a must like the other two

    He is not add-on dependent at all. Ghost Face players that rely on recovery add-ons will clearly have too much of an attachment to think he's weak without them. I've been playing him without recovery add-ons for the longest time, and it hasn't negatively impacted my gameplay in the slightest. By the time you approach and down a survivor via stalked down or traditional chase, his power is back by the time I have them on a hook.

    He's perfect as is when you know what you're doing...without depending on recovery add-ons...

    Personally, I'd be down if they dropped his base recovery a smidge, but I was thinking more of spicing his power up through survivor PoV SFX. Ghost Face had alot of sounds in PTB/launch that should honestly be repurposed into a noise survivors hear when marked.

    Downing a marked survivor should reward you with a portion of your power back in my opinion.

    It would def. help him keep his momentum up if you're playing without addons anyway

    He should be able to force survivors to t-bag at will.

    Probably shave 10 seconds off of his cooldown, and nerf chewed pen/address book to account. We should probably reduce the stalking rate while in a chase, increase it while not. He's not meant to chase, he's meant to make a strategic approach and quickly strike.

    That and a shirtless cosmetic. Every male character needs a shirtless cosmetic.

    all they have to do is make Night Shrouds cooldown 20 seconds and fix the reveal mechanic then he would be perfect

    He's absolutely awful to play against imo. They need to fix the reveal before changing the night shroud recovery rate.

    Also GF is just fine for what he is. He's your standard M1 killer, he's a pretty strong one due to instadowns and the best stealth in the game. He's not top tier but he never will be, the mechanics of the game simply don't allow for it.

    Well first off he needs that reveal mechanic to be consistent.

    And second besides his stalking power, he has no other power for being a stealthy killer that needs to chase. He could use a buff or two, some change at least that helps him.

    he needs better tracking since he stalks survivors he should also expose their auras for a few seconds.

    His reveal mechanic needs to be consistent. Not being able to reveal him while facing him with no obstruction but can reveal him when only top of his head is shown on other side of a rock is pretty ridiculous.

    I think keep the when shrouded he's stealth and can stalk players to mark them but also allow him when crouched to be stealth (like pig) but can't mark survivors unless he's also shrouded. This would up his stealth play.
