Searching for Michael Myers already screws over Ghostface
Like literally the first thing survivors do is keep an eye out for Myers and find out who the killer is.
I have to say as a huge Scream fan, I’m heartily disappointed. First no Sidney, now a pathetically canceled power that “puts power in survivor hands.” I think Plague proves a power that survivors can control makes for a struggling, weak, frustrating killer.

Blah blah blah Killers just can't help but feel like victims and blame everything on Survivors having all the power.

Honestly, if I owned an iconic movie Killer and they did something like this to my character, I would burn that contract so ######### fast.

Playing as Survivor and my god he feels so weak, but that's just first impressions.
I've yet to see anyone be able to pull off the Exposed Effects on me and I am not scared of him whatsoever.
I think his cancelling of his power just by turning your camera seems kinda offsetting?

And Survivors want an escape handed to them on a golden platter with 40000 BP just for showing up. This is a horror game at it's heart and past that, it's a cat and mouse game. Make the cat too strong, the game is imbalanced. Make the mouse too strong, the game is imbalanced. Ghost Face is broken. The Devs admitted it. He's getting fixed and once he gets fixed, then, only then, can we judge him.

And how have you enjoyed playing Ghost Face in the PTB thus far? Do tell.

Yes, that's the whole problem with him at the moment. See if this makes any sense to you...We all know that pretty much every survivor player constantly checks their surroundings, looking for the killer. With that fact in mind, I present to you the meeting that took place when designing Ghostface's so called 'power' ...
"So Ghostface will be able to stalk, but I think it needs some something extra to set itself apart from Myers' power. Does anyone have any ideas?"
"I know! Let's make it so whenever a survivor player sees Ghostface stalking them, his power is instantly turned off, and has to slowly recharge before he can try again!"
"I LOVE IT! Give that guy a promotion, stat! Oh, you have something to add, Billy?"
"Yes sir. All survivor players constantly checks their surroundings ... this won't work, it's a bad idea."
"Oh Billy, always the kidder, ha ha ha!"
"Yeah Billy, tell another joke !"

New killers are what keep the game fresh. Devs are 0/3 for last 3 killers (including Ghostface, Spirit was good). I'm sure high rank survs are tired of nurse and billy. These past 3 duds aren't going to change that.

(From an interview with the dev who designed Ghostface)
Interviewer: "So, did you know in Dead By Daylight survivors have a third person view, meaning they can move the camera independently from their character's actual facing?"
Dev: "Oh for real? Wow that's so cool, thanks for telling me!"

I mean, when it comes to Ghost Faces power the complaints here are legitimate. I played like 10 matches or so (I'd play more if the power wasn't busted by Survivors cameras AND the match making wasn't broken in the PTB) and not one of those matches did I get to proc his ability on the Survivors.
It was good for like... Stealth, I guess. But I get that from Myers and Pig already... And the power itself just seems to be a downgraded version of Myers power. While Myers can store his gauge, the "Circle Gauge" Survivors get when you stalk them depletes. And its hard enough to have that gauge climb in the first place so... its kinda impossible or rare for it to actually work.
Also, the cameras... make his power worthless. In those 10 matches you just have to be behind a rock looking in Ghost Faces direction and the power shuts off. They said that's a bug, but looking past THAT they still need to work on "detection" with Ghost Face, as his power struggles to be used as a result.

Looks like some tweaks need to be done.
But all this nonsense I hear killers spouting about how all the power is in the hands of the survivors, how the last two killers have powers that are controlled by survivors (ridiculous) is just so much noise.

They don't need to look for Myers. They hear the loud ding sound and immediately know it's ghostface.

I am a survivor main and even I think ghostface is laughable,

"Blah blah blah More easy escape killer are welcome"

Some of what's wrong with him are bugs. Like survivors shouldn't be able to cancel it through walls/instantly. It needs to be deliberate. I'm hoping they'll add on changes on top of changes. Like him stalking should be treated as T1 Michael imo. I think that much (with the bug fixes) would make him a lot better.

His power is virtually nonfunctional on the PTB. It needs a lot of work before it'll even work, let alone be working at a level that can be considered balanced.

Give it time, eventually the devs will figure it out. after all, it is just the ptb, so you can only expect so much.

Jokes on us, if they do make changes (Idk, coming from Overwatch where ptb = “this is happening f your input players!”) they might end up giving Ghostface nerfs.

My Nurse would like a word with you.

Plague requires you to cleanse.
Good survivors won't cleanse.
Ghostface requires you to literally be a braindead survivor not aware of your surroundings for his power to work. Works well when the Rank 20 devs tested it but in the hands of good survivors his power is utterly balls.

Are we forgetting that its confirmed hes bugged?
Rn a glimpse removes the power. Peanits confirmed that's NOT how it's supposed to work. Should require lining up camera and a held second to remove it. Not just spinning the camera.
