Buff Ghost Face
Pleaaase, we need to talk about Ghost Face and why people who are on the hook or in dyng state keep revealing him :(
I mean, I love this game, but I think it's too survivor side. We play against swf and that alone is VERY disadvantageous. He NEEDS some modifications, WE ALL LOVE GHOST FACE :(

I find him using stealth and getting revealed near a hooked or downed survivor to be fair. Thats just camping. What i dont find fair is if theres a really good runner just following you everywhere you go to ensure you cant stealth at all.
Agree with you.
I wish he wouldn‘t loose the stalk on people and his ability on hitting people. An addon for making all forms of revealing him slower would be cool too (instead of only when someone is hooked/downed)
It is good that people on hook and in the dying state can reveal Ghosty because that disincentivizes campface playstyles. What he needs is more rewards for Marked downs. The Iri cam is a perfectly designed add-on, as it gives a pseudo Floods of Rage proc every down, which can set you up for your next stalk and down, whether it be a gen interruption, or catching a would be rescuer. If we were to buff Ghosty by add-ons, he should get more perk effects on Marked downs (like Gift of Pain for example).
If we were to buff Ghosty's basekit, I'd say punishing a reveal would be a decent path. If we gave an 8% hindered for the Killer Instinct Duration, that works best. It is mutually exclusive with being Marked, so you can't Expose+Hinder, it allows for an additional punishment for greeding not healing, it also buffs a useless add-on that extends the Killer Instinct duration on reveal, finally it is enough to slow the Survs down, but not also prevent fast vaults.
Buffing the wrong aspects of Ghosty's kit could push people towards more chaseface and campface styled gameplay, which is the wrong direction.
I'm mixed on this. Combining both reveal add-ons to be a universal longer reveal might be fine. Losing stalk on hit though is one of the few counterplay aspects people can take against Ghosty though. It is risky, because then you are against a stealth Killer while injured. At the same time, maybe it lowers the mark by 50% instead of 100%. That way 99's don't lose all their progress, and some counterplay still remains.
