RiP Doctor, they really did it

I read that and now am just picturing the devs walking around each update like...

honestly I think all of the changes to the doc were fine, but then they changed snap out of it and screwed the doc over completely

So then what's the point of shocking them? You are just wasting time doing it

It took a year before a streamer tried him, one that's already good at the game and knows how a killer works, plays a very boring playstyle and pips because Wraith was always good at pipping and that's it, and that's how that streamer determines killer viability. Legion does the exact same thing but no-one in their right mind would say Legion is good. If we're basing it on the ranking system he's the best killer in the game.

This isn't a nerf it's basically a rework on his power. The changes aren't even that bad since now you can have a super tiny terror radius with monitor and you can even get some gen grabs of you're lucky. The static blast is a cool concept especially if the survivors 3 gen themselves as you can just wait for it to come back, use it and know where everyone is. I like the changes they made to doc and feel like he's gonna be more fun to play. The 3 second delay between shocking and swinging is a bit annoying though.

Why wouldn't i base it on the ranking system that's in the game?

I think that's what the problem is. Most people make their own rules on what a win is and then get frustrated that the game is too hard to furfill their own rules

Killer side can be frustrating but some people make it waaay more frustrating for themself then they need to be

actually they said it isn’t suppose to be that long. many people have said that lol.

I really hoping they change their mind on many if the doctor nerfs.

Where did you find that picture?

Bro but the poor survivors who cant hit ruin skillchecks am i right?

Jokes aside, this isnt the worst but i dont think it was necessary, like it was annoying if you couldnt pay attention but come on that helps with game awareness, WHICH BTW IS SOMETHING SURVIVORS NEED TO LEARN A LOT MORE OF RATHER THAN "flashlight blind a killer while carrying a survivor" seriously thats a way more important skill

thats one of the things i protested the most about when i read the update notes.

like, they REALLY gutted Snap out of it:

1) missing a skillcheck resets 25% instead of forcing you to restart

2) you can stop snapping out of it at any time and continue somewhere else without losing progress

3) you get reset to tier 1 after fully snapping out of it

seriously devs, ######### were you thinking here???

Basement bug got fixed though?

I think you are understimating the power of the Blast. Being able to hit multiple survivors with 50 madness (or more with Orders add-ons, even tho it does not matter beyond madness 1, but that is another issue...) is huge. You can interupt survivors healing or working on a generator 32 meters away (or more with perks and add-ons). And if they where at madness 2, they go up to 3 and can't immediatly get back to what they where doing. This is some real pressure.

But yes, the Blast being on a long cooldown mean you have to think a bit more about when is the best time to use it. I don't see this as a problem. Having played around with it on the PTB it really didn't feel too long. That being said I'd love it if the Order add-ons where changed to a small cooldown reduction of Static Blast instead of the currently allmost USELESS (seriously devs) madness increase.

Also Maple Knight should be a BP bonus add-on.

sweetheart its an opinion not a fact. can't be wrong about an opinion... that's why it's called an opinion. you can't just be wrong or right lol

They forgot about killer fun in the update. personally, I never relied on afflictions because they're quite useless, however for an update, they haven't made a single affliction affects better players so I'm not entirely sure what the point of madness is at the moment. recent changes have only made killers weaker and none of them have been positive even for the weaker/fair killers. Last I remember, they were going to touch billy and Leatherface and it's hard to believe anything positive is coming out of these future killer updates besides maximizing the survivor's fun. Hopefully killer fun.. is a bit more considered... in the future of these updates.

You must've been pretty bad at shocking survivors if they got away from you before the changes, I was able to hit them quite well with it, all you needed was to fire it in advance

Though the changes slowed the speed at witch the shock therapy cone travels and there seems to be a delay before it registers, that really requires skillful timing now

There's no way you've played Doctor against decent Survivors if you think the stance change was fine and didn't cause problems. Also, you only play Doctor because it's easy to find Survivors with him? You sure that isn't an excuse for being bad? Seems like you need to get out of rank 20 and go up against some actual Survivors to see exactly why these changes were made.

honestly, i dont really have a problem with the skillchecks eigther. thats just to help newer players, thats a-okay.

the other two though...

the back to tier 1 is something we all agree on and you already said why its super bad. however, id like to add that due to tier 2 being stronger than tier 3, they also just made his new power be a huge risk to use, as it would get them to tier 3, if they had been tier 2 before. also, a shocktherapy mid chase would be a bad idea now, due to them, again, hitting tier 3. like, that was such a bad idea...

however, what i really wanted to comment on would be 2), their ability to save the snapping out of it progress and continuing somewhere else. this is a change that is not only going to help newer players, but also better players, as the general ability to just stop the action you are in in order to reposition yourself without losing any progress is very strong. honestly, if they want to snap out of it, they should do it at once or, if they feel the need to reposition themselves, they should have to restart completely. but allowing them to snap out and then quickly going to a loop when the killer comes near without and penalities is not a good idea imo.

its supposed to be a timewaster, isnt it? then waste their time with it.

This what happens when new players complain about everything
