I started as leather face because i was told to get bbq chili unlocked and it was a struggle to get him to 35 then i tried nurse for her calling gave up before level 5 couldn't control Billy's saw spirit was weird and deathslingers harpoon hitbox is so tiny i miss most shot but good old doctor helps me stop pallet drops and give me much need tracking tool because finding survivors is a weakness for me and i lose them in chase often so the screams help a lot and with his monitor and abuse i can get closer before they run even get a few grabs im getting way more kills even against higher ranked players hes way more fun than buba to with a more useful power

    IMO the easiest killer to play is Freddy, but if you liked Doctor, go ahead and keep playing him :)

    hmm i think that he is good but easiest definetly not, because you have to precisely time your shock to get the stun and i'm certain freddy is far easier and stronger to use

    Can anybody tell me if im playing him optimally i usually charge the shock if i know they are running me to a pallet so i can shock stun them to prevent drop or if they are waiting at the pallet ill shock so if they get the drop i can still break the pallet and still be close for chase i try shock everybody to get madness up for screams and i bast at hooks before i leave for patrols so if the rescue is close i can know before i leave and ill blast at spots where gens are close

    Seems like you've got the hang of it. It's really all about knowing when to shock or not and getting the timing down through muscle memory.

    Btw I'd argue Wraith is the easiest Killer to pick up and play, but Doctor is definitely a stronger Killer if you want to win.

    I agree with aregularplayer. You just spam traps and survivor goes down. xD

    I still think Leatherface and Wraith are the easiest. But Freddy is up there. Doctor? Ok now he is great! But if you wanna use him at top ranks you gotta time those shocks perfectly.

    I don't get it, why do people say Freddy?

    If you lose someone with Doctor, you just charge your Static Blast and you find them again.

    You can't do that with Freddy.
