Clown vs Doctor
Just for fun who in your opinion would you class as the better killer of these two and why?
And which one of them in your opinion is most fun to play?
Another killer vs killer and this time two reworked killers. My guess is most will vote for Doctor as the stronger one, but there is a brigade of "Clown is underrated" people here so it might be a debate about it. For me they are pretty even and both pretty fun to play. I do think Doctor is a tad bit stronger though.

As much as I love Clown, Doc is by far the stronger due to him being able to locate survivors easily and having built in slowdown with a chase power.
Despite this, I find Clown much more enjoyable to play.

Both can sniff out hiding Survivors, either by shock or bottle.
Clown's bottles have an advantage over the doc's shocks in a chase because they can make it difficult to see the terrain, which makes it hard to run away.
Clown can't stop people from working gens without bottle bombing the gens, meanwhile doc can get a survivor to madness 3 pretty easily with smart power use, and make them take a break from gens.
Clown probably has the better teachable perks, especially at higher level play.
As much as I love doc, I think it's advantage, clown.

Clown is stronger in the 1v1 but when played at their highest level I’d say doc is stronger.
Doc can do well in chase and track survivors easily aswell as stall survivors at opportune times with madness 3
Clown can demolish chases and get pallets out easy(doc gets early pallets too).
I would say clown has better addons though. Flask of bleach and ether 15% make him a lot more potent

Clown is ever so slightly better at chases, but nothing can top the Doctor's tracking abilities.

Doctor is stronger for he has a decent tracking tool and can close loops before the pallet drops.
Clown is funnier for he has more diverse gameplay options, Doctor is always the same, area shock, go towards whoever screamed, chase, reach pallet loop, if predrop break it, if not shock near the pallet, get a hit, rinse and repeat.
Old Doctor was weaker but I loved his gamestyle and how fun he was compared to new one, I miss him.

Really? I always found old doc to slow and clunky

But he allowed for varied gameplay styles and he was a beast at defending gens much better than now, a massive TR Doctor was super fun to play, I reckon it could be a pain to deal with so he had to be changed.

Doctor is easy 4k, anyone can pick him up and win their match. Clown you need to learn to use well before you start getting 4k.
Clown party bottles make him more fun.

Doctor is stronger. He can deny pallets, has some of the strongest tracking in the game, and has limited slowdown. Clown is probably better at loops, but that's about it.

Doctor is definitely better. He has tracking, anti stealth, and a small slowdown with his madness. Clowns chase potential might be a bit better but with the correct timing doctor can stop pallets and vaults. Clown can't do that.

Definitely Doc. He can deny survivors pallets and vaults, and he gets free location info. He's a much better anti looper killer than the Clown.

Oh yea, old doctor was pretty fun to play with. Creating a giant terror radius to get that constant insanity build-up was suuuuuper oppressive though. Getting good at knowing when to switch stances was also fun and engaging

Doc may be stronger, but IMO he isn't as fun as Clown is (to play as, at least).

Doc has the ability to slow down the game by a bunch and can find survivors the easiest, compared to clown. Clown wins in the chase aspect, Clown had and still has a strong 1v1 ability, and is a lot of fun to play.

Overall i would say Doc.
Clown is far better in chases but Doc isn't helpless in them as his shocks disable interaction for a slight while.
And Doc has tracking + slowdown on top of that.
Clown put's all his cards into his chase game. Doctor has a little bit of everything save for mobility.
Also Doc is a lot easier then Clown. Doc's biggest learning curve is timing your shocks. Clown needs to study every single loop to learn where the bottles are placed best.
