What tier does Doctor belong to after rework?

I just adore playing him. Honestly. So much fun. You can end chases so quickly which is (for me) the greatest thing about him and his tracking abilities. Not a big fan of the music though, gets annoying after a while, but other then that, new Doc is awesome.

What tier does he belong to now? Feels like he should have bumped up quite a lot after the rework.

    Somewhere in A tier. Pretty close to the top 😊

    A or B. Depends on who plays him. Some people are beastly with him, some are potato.

    Because the situation is not good for shock? In some loops shocking are pointless

    Most would agree he's at least B tier. Personally, I consider him a solid A. The only weakness of a good Doctor is map traversal.

    A tier. He’s pretty damn good now. You have an easier time shortening loops, constantly receive information on where the Survivors are at, and Madness 3 helps slow the game down.

    Haha, I had a Doctor recently, who tried to find people with his Shock Therapy instead of just using the Blast. He was staying at one area where someone was hiding, and shocked the sorrounding, instead of using the Blast. And he had it ready, he did not use it the whole game.


    @Topic:

    I am not sure if I would call him A-Tier, since Killers like Spirit, Billy, Freddy or Hag are still stronger than new Doc. But he is close, he is really strong. And enjoyable to play, the only thing that is frustrating is the inconsistency of the Shocks, because sometimes you shock the Survivor and they still get the Pallet Drop or Vault, and sometimes you cancel them Mid-Vault. But well, Latency, I guess.

    A for not potatoes and B for the docs that think tier 3 actually does something, so they shock you from 3 meters away

    Definitely high B to low A

    I main Freddy, Doc and Oni.

    I personally see him as weaker than Nurse, Spirit, Freddy, Billy, Hag and Huntress but stronger than Oni, Myers, GF, Bubba, Pig, Clown, Plague, Demo, Trapper, Wraith and Legion
