Ghostface isn't that weak imo *ramblings of a random*
Maybe I'm low MMR (even though that's not a thing). Maybe every time I play I just get lucky. Maybe it's not any of that.
His greatest strength is his instant stealth. His M2 ability is a weakness imo.
Not only does it take time for M2 to activate, it's instant shift W.
Survivor main.
As much as I'd hate to face this.
Devour hope, Haunted Ground, Starstruck, Iron Maiden. Stealth running and barely ever using M2.
It's mean and unaffected by diminishing returns.
Silent running with exposed constantly is mean.
I mean come on, it's not that hard to figure out where survivors are as a survivor main.
Farthest from you, closest while carrying.
TBF, I only use aura read with killers I'm weak with. Same with meta or slow down perks.
The meta and norm is boring.
And it doesn't really work with every killer.
Finding a specific devastating perk build for a specific killer is fun.
Although, if it's too overwhelming, it's boring.
My Plague build is boring. Blood echo, Hysteria, Thanotophobia, Discordance
Survivor main.
Welcome to my TED talk.
Unless I'm working on a challenge, if survivors are overwhelmed at least one goes free.
Made a basement demedog build and as dumb as it is, 4k, every hook basement. Agitation, iron Grip, Mad Grit, Awakened Awareness. Don't need the traps as trapper, it's too much time and map traversal is more important imo.
Anyway, just rambling. GLHF

Ghostface can perform. A skilled Ghostface on an indoor map can be a menace.
The reason he's seen as weak is how counterable he is. After the initial surprise, survivors can prepare. One survivor can even just follow Ghostface around constantly knocking him out of stealth, and if Ghostface retaliates to this, that survivor only needs to deal with an M1 chase.5 -
If you don't use M2 .. it's not really a counter

I was referring to the community consensus more than any specific scenario.
Maybe the community is sleeping on your strat. I've dealt with a Chag running a build around devour hope and undetectable have seen how devastating it can be when getting max value. However, getting that max value is something I don't see super consistently.2 -
Ghostface is weak when you compare what his power does compared to others. At the end of the day you have no mobility and no way to deal with pallets/windows. The HUD updates over the years have only made it harder for stealth killers. You are super weak to sprint burst and if survivors pay attention they'll spot/hear you before you get too close.
How effective his power is in the control of survivors.

Honestly i dont think its really strong. With killer like Ghostface i had some of the easiest matches, but also one of the hardest. In my experience he is a killer which really highlights the experience of your opponents.
That said im always interested in new strats and i have seen quite some special playstyles which make a weaker killer shine.
Do you maybe have gameplay?

Every killer is viable for sure. You can dedicate yourself to any killer and became a total beast with them, which is why you can typically find kill streaks no matter if they’re m1 or not. But some killers require much more time to get the same results as others with less. I think that’s where a lot of the frustrations come from. I get that it can be annoying to I have to work so hard just to get the same results another killer can get with ease, but that’s where alot of skill comes in, in my opinion. It’s good that not all killers are scaled the same. Someone that gets a 30 win streak on Ghoul compared to someone that gets a 30 win streak on Ghostface showcases a different kind of skill and success. I’ve definitely faced my fair share of ghosties that dominate the entire match because the player is really skilled with their kit and knows how to play in the best way for that character. It’s always an honor to see em! But I wouldn’t be opposed to ghostie getting a few more buffs.

He’s too map dependant. Playing on a map like Leroy’s or Midwhich is ideal for Ghosty. Load into a game on Coldwind or Eyrie? GG. On map’s where survivors have clear line of sight and can break him out his shroud easily, he’s essentially an M1 killer.

Ghostie can wreck at lower mmr since survivors dont know how to counter him. Hes one of the weakest killers in the game once you have experienced killers. He has no chase potential, so he can easily be looped. It is also entirely up to the survivors if ghostie has his power available, as the hard counter to him is to simply have aomeone tail him all game revealing him. They just need to keep their distance a bit to make any loop if ghostie decides to stop trying to pressure gens and turn around to chase them from loop to loop to loop which is still a win for survivors. He is just fundamentally broken without any mobility.
If you go to high tier play such as tournaments, all survivors stay off of gens until ghostie is spotted. Once spotted, thats when everyone pushes gens. They do this to ensure he cannot ambush anyone.

You cant chase as ghostface for long time you play like ambush predator just sneak up and either injure or mark the survivor and down him or hit him and get some stalk on him so when he heals you can mark him and get him fast later.
You cant afford long chases because you ahve almost nothing that stealth is nice but survivors can reveal you fast and you are just m1 so unless you commit to someone fully as like tunnel you cant chase long you are like chess player here as ghostface moving around the map and trying to ambush people and get fast downs but its not easy especialy on how easy it is for two survivors just to break you out of your power so easily and make you just m1 killer who has nothing. Your power is just combination of perks and these effects can be gained from perks with better value and on different killers that have more powerfull powers so he can be good but if he has open bright map and survivors dont sleep on gens than he is joke of a killer he cant even deffend last hook because he will get revealed by hooked survivor and this makes him only killer who can be countered by even hooked survivor so yeah weak killer after all fun maybe against soloq team that doesnt sweat but swf will made you regret pushing that button to join the look for the match.

This 100%. Strong killers are ones that have opportunities available to them regardless whether survivors give it. Ghostface isn't the worst of the low tiers, but he relies much more on capitalizing on the opportunities survivors give him than making opportunities for himself.

Yeah i think ghostface gets a lot more flak than he deserves. Going undetectable is so strong a lot of people sleep on it. I think he suffers at really high mmr because you can end up with that one surv who's a god in chase constantly revealing you and is almost impossible to m1.
But if that doesn't happen the hit and run potential is amazing. I run undetectable perks on a lot of killers and it gives me so many free hits and downs. Been playing a lot of nemesis recently with a gen kick build and trail of torment, and it's amazing how many jumpscares i manage with him.
