Why is the Doctor's frame-rate so low?
I played Doctor for the first time since the patch and the complaints people had who played on the vanilla PS4 are now evident on the PS4 pro. The frame-rates are terrible since the patch. But what is it specifically about him that makes his frame-rates lower than the other killers?

Well, we've established where and why the PS4 has its limitations, but to be specific about the Killer itself and why he's more laggy is a bit different.
For once, Doctor usually has a lot of visual effects that don't work well on consoles for... obvious reasons since they tend to drop the already not that stable FPS (As of the patches atm, the console versions are fine with FPS... kinda.)
Anyways, that could attribute to the frames loss but the power could also be an issue as well... the AOE effect of his shock must hit the hardware pretty hard when it happens... and it seems both those issues with the visuals and the power are not ... optimized very well.... at least on console because console has had a history of FPS drops and bad optimization.
So, this kind of makes sense to why this happens...

@FireHazard Thanks, I think you are right. I hadn't used him since the last double-bloodpoint event (and he was fine then). I only picked him for his ability to generate bloodpoints so well. I had to switch to Wraith instead.
Even when frame-rates were at their worst, they were never this bad.

Probably just some optimization errors or something along those lines.
I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon... in the mean time you should file it as a bug report if anything... since it is kind of game breaking when you use him specifically or maybe even facing him?
