Please Fix The Ghost Face's Power

I've only had him a day and I'm already seeing survivors who RUN AT ME to break my stalking ability.

I don't feel at all scary or like a threat when Survivors are coming TOWARDS ME just close enough to break my stalking, then use Sprint Burst, Balanced Landing, Dead Hard, and/or Lithe to get away.


Imagine if The Pig was forced out of her stealth by a Survivor looking at her. Or The Shape was rendered unable to Stalk if someone saw him. That's EXACTLY what this is.


Please, please, PLEASE; remove the Survivors ability to stare at Ghost Face & break his power. It's completely broken and renders him an M1 Killer that can play peek-a-boo around corners. (Seriously; have you seen him peek around a corner at you? It's adorable and not at all scary)


Edit: For those who would say I need to be sneaky and stealth around corners: The clock is AGAINST the Killer. The longer I take to tiptoe around and peek around corners, the longer Survivors are spending doing Generators.

    I thought of him being invulnerable of being stalked from the back. Only 180 degrees forward.

    I honestly have more of an issue with the cooldown rather than the fact I can get revealed with I play him. I've found that a lot more people play into when they try to reveal you and get themselves exposed that way. If I were to buff him I might just remove ability for hooked/dying survivors to reveal him and lower the cooldown a bit.

    You need to play a little but more patiently and aware of your surroundings.

    I've faced some pretty deadly GF players. One thing you need to keep in mind that only 20% of your body has to be exposed to actually reveal you.

    This means that you are likely not hiding well enough. He can peek around corners which hides your body and doubled your stalk rate, which makes it extremely risky to approach you. And I mean, if someone is approaching you to break your stealth then just, walk up to them and hit them? They are giving you ground on the chase by approaching you. You should never respond to a Survivor approaching by trying to hide. Only hide when someone you don't know is revealing you or when you are spotted at a distance while stalking.

    Also think about activating your Shroud during a chase. This can confuse the Survivor into believing you have dropped him, when in reality, you have turned off your red stain and now you are playing mindgames with the Survivor. This is a lot stronger than people give it credit for, and can be more deadly than his ability to stalk.

    Sometimes it's better to just approach with no TR than to stalk. They removed the sound at 8 meters when in Shroud mode, so you could probably easily get gens grabs if you approach the gen from a spot that is obscured.

    Don't be timid when playing Ghostface. You're still a Killer. Give him more than a day. He's not the best character, but he's still fairly decent around the mid ranks, and a good Ghostface honestly has a lot of potential.

    So they can see less than a quarter of my body to break my stealth. Whereas I can't see them if a stalk of corn is in the way.

    And using Shroud in a chase is a bad idea. They are already looking behind themselves at Ghost Face so they just insta-break it without needing to stop running because Survivor's heads can rotate 360 degrees.


    At the very least, his crouch walking should be equal to his normal walking, since he's tall and skinny and easy as heck to see on almost every map unless he crouches.
