The Doctor

Should The Doctor be nerfed ? In my opinion ,yes!

It was the first time I have played against the character and all four of us were slaughtered (pardon the pun). We didn't get a single generator operating and the game was over in under 10 minutes. The Doctor has far to many ability's when your a survivor to make the game fun. I was playing with one friend using voice chat and two strangers and before the 10 minutes were up they had both quit. The constant red 'follow' light on you is bad enough so you don't know whether you are being followed for real or not. The fake 'images' of him standing near you, the reversed skill checks and health checks, jeeeez!

Every killer has it's special abilities which is great but this one is way OP!

    Cute, you think Doctor is OP. He's far from OP. The constant red stain on you either came from being in a chase with him in Madness 2, or you were in Madness 3 which causes the TR to play until you break out of Madness, easily done if he's away from you. The passive effects are simple to manage if you actually pay attention to skill checks appearing. Yes, they can be annoying but the whole point of them is to basically throw you off. Doctor is sending you mad, so the gameplay matches. The fake images of him are just a tell to him so he knows where someone was/is. And as for the 10 minutes of game time? That's a decent match since most matches I get are over in 4-5 minutes.

    Imagine saying something is op when you play against it for the first time.

    Maybe just play more? Learn what the counters are, for example you can hide in Lockers to avoid his Static Blast.

    It seems like you are new to the game. Doctor is a decent Killer, but not too strong. However, in lower Ranks, Killers are way stronger (relative) to Survivors, because the Survivors also dont know what they are doing, meaning that the Killer has it easier, because they are faster.

    And Doctor also removes one thing that new Survivors love to do - hiding.

    But overall, he is not too strong, like I said, he is decent. But once you have played against him a few times, you will know what to do. This does not mean that he is a pushover, but he will most likely not obliterate your team anymore.
