Doctor is annoying, but far from overpowered
A lot of people say doctor's base kit is too loaded. But that isn't true, his ability is one that can be used as active slowdown ( meaning he himself has to apply it ). Some tracking if you're attentive, and in chase if you have good timing. But that comes with a distinct lack of mobility, the doctor still has to walk across the map like everybody else. As well as the fact that the doctor depends on his addons to add more weight to madness.
If you want an example of someone with a loaded base kit. Look at freddy, who has map mobility, traps that can be placed without a speed penalty, and passive slowdown. Freddy's slowdown is much better because it forces survivors to go to the other side of the map. Another thing worth mentioning, freddy doesn't have to apply his slowdown, it just happens no matter what.
The two are surprisingly similar if you take away freddy's mobility. But doctor is the most fair of the two.

I very much agree with this as someone who mains addonless doc. He becomes oppressive when you combine range and discipline addons, because at that point if he knows what he is doing, there is virtually no counterplay other than holding W.

I've always been partial to his order addons, it's always funny to watch them realize the pallet is fake.

I've been seeing a decent amount of doctor hate slung around fairly recently.
But yeah, it was partially because of that post.

If you think he's overpowered, you probably need to DOCTOR your playstyle.

As someone who mains dr on killer, he's got huge weaknesses. A decent swf team is hard to beat. You pretty much need to just keep pushing ppl into madness 3 to slow the game down enough to keep up.
If theyre a decent looper, get a hit, put em in madness 3 and leave them. You cant afford to not be pushing people off gens CONSTANTLY.
If dr doesnt get on them very early and very aggressively, he's already lost a minute or two into the match cuz he lacks mobility.
What makes up for it is the amount of info he's given but you need madness to get it.
