Ghostface is a better Myers?

Since he can stalk while a survivor is looking at them, he can make them exposed faster than a survivor breaks him out of his ability. And he can do that infinitely, unlike Myers. And Ghostface has better stealth and can use his crouch + Night Sroud to mindgame on certain loops.

Myers has snowball potential and can hold his T3 for anyone rather than just the person he chooses. He has consistent stealth levels and stalking capability, though that eventually runs out as stalk is in limited supply per person..

Ghostface has low to no snowball potential as he can only stalk while stealthed, which is manually activated and has a cooldown. His stealth is much stronger than Myers when active, giving new mindgame potential and he can easily, and very quickly, get the exposed effect on the target he chooses.

Myers snowball potential is a lot less practical than people say it is seeing as the only thing that makes it easier for him to get hits at that point is extended range and faster vaulting. Other than that, you're a base Killer. They're very easy to loop especially if you play safe, and instadowns convince most people to play safe and stay apart. It also comes at the cost of spending a lot of time building up to have base movespeed, and then also have instadowns ready, versus decent players. They'll starve you for stalk for quite some time, meanwhile gens are getting done.

Ghostface does what Myers does, faster and just as consistent - which is get to 99% stalk and then pop it in close range for a more/less confirmed single instadown. This doesn't require any downtime other than the cooldown on his ability or nearly as much buildup, which is a big downside to Myer's kit.

I'd say he's better just because he doesn't have the constrictions that Myers has which is the buildup to T2 and T3.

I also agree that he is a better Myers at this point if they dont plan to nerf him.

I'd say they're in the same boat, kinda. There's some things that Myers can do better than GF (Snowballing since he doesn't need to stalk individual survivors to apply Exposed on them) and there's some things that GF can do better than Myers (overall stealth potential and mindgames).

I think Myers is better in red/purple ranks.

Well myers cant get his ability cancelled by survivors and gf has a 30 seconds cooldown. Also myers exposes all gf can only expose one at a time i guess.

Id rather gf be a stronger myers. When lf came out everyone said he's a slower billy and they're right minus his ability to hit multiple survivors. Billy is by far superior. Im at least hoping when gf gets here he is either stronger or equal to myers.

Myers and GF are alike but defenetly not the same, they are both strong in certain situations and weak during others.

Mhh I don't know If you can compare Ghostface with Myers. Sure, both stalk but Ghostface is all about mindgaming and remaining unseen while Myers is way more aggressive and both have their own pros and cons. I can't tell If Ghostface is better, but I can say that in certain situations Ghostface would perform better than Myers but in other situations Myers would be way better than Ghostface.

And completely forgot to mention that Ghostface can teabag and Myers can't.
Both are good, both have similar powers but I like the Ghostface's infinite stalk more than Michael's limited one. And survivors always know when and from what direction Myers is coming, unlike with Ghostface.
I will need to play more ptb to find out, but I like how he is right now.

Ghostface is definitely stronger than Myers. He can hide his red stain to end a chase quickly. Myers' ability doesn't help him with chases. And also I think Myers is pretty low tier.

Yea, escpecially when crouched on short loops since he can lunge from the crouched position.
I definitely prefer Ghostface over Myers when it comes to anti-loop.

Are we forgetting that Ghost Face's power is worthless when survivor can just look at you whilst doing gens without 0 issue? Or did they change that in the past week? Also...wait...His red stain doesn't disappear? O_o!?

It takes much more effort to break him out now, you can be stalked while in a chase.
And his red stain now disappears even when standing after activating Night Shroud.

Oh really? Damn, looks like he went from absolutely trash to pretty decent, and here I thought the Dev's were just gonna release another licensed flop like Freddy
