Is dcing against the new Doc a norm?
I swear, it feels like nearly every other match I run, somebody dcs, or suicides on first hook. I've been playing him primarily to get rid of all the bp offerings I've had wasting away on him for the last year, and have enjoyed him for the most part. But this steady rise of dcing is sapping that enjoyment. This going to be another Spirit fiasco?

People often dc against killers that are very populart atm, because "its boring to face the same killers all the time", and doc is a hot $$$$ right now. Ive seen even big streamers do this, so normal players feel justified doing that.

I haven't had much problem with people DCing on my Doc.
Had three people DC in one match on my Clown, today, though. o_0

Unfortunately, yes, it seems to be the norm at the moment. Hopefully, we should see a decrease in this kind of behaviour once the DC penalties are implemented.
Right now, people are DCing against Doctor partly because they are tired of playing against him (since his pick rate has gone way up since the rework) and partly because they don't like the rework and they would rather quit than adapt.

Doctor is a killer that needs some slight tweaks/nerfs.

cant say I experienced it so far

Thats how survivors protest unfortunately, they DC whenever they arent having fun aka bullying the killer and will most likely cry for nerfs.

I feel like people already DC'ed against the Doctor, even before he was changed, but now might be worse, since he is stronger and I have seen most Doctor players using ultra rare add-ons, which makes it worse. But people DC against any killer, sometimes even before they are hooked for the first time. It's pathetic.

Survivors disconnect against pretty much anything. Usually when something isn't going their way (AKA they are losing). Take it as a compliment, because it generally means you outplayed them quite well.

I experienced it a couple times shortly after his rework was released, but it seems to have slowed down. There's two reasons that Survivors are doing this (not counting IRL situations):
- They're salty that Doctor is now a strong Killer and are trying to get him nerfed. They know how effective DCs can be, so they're just going to DC until all of the Killers play by the Survivor Rulebook. These DCs mainly happen in the middle of the game.
- They're simply tired of playing against him since his pick rate increased. These DCs will probably happen at the beginning of the game when they figure out that the Killer is Doctor.

Good thing there weren't any killers DCing to protest the Ruin changes.
It's almost as if there are toxic players on both sides and promoting division between the two isn't doing anyone any favours.

Heh. Zapping... Instead of sapping.

as a new doc player i have definitely seen quite a few dc's. i never camp or tunnel except a couple of times when i've been gen rushed.
pathetic reasons:
first survivor gets hit, not hook, but hit for the first time...dc
first hooked...dc
i was chasing a survivor, second survivor runs infront of me protecting 1st survivor, i get the second hooked...
when i'm doing well...dc
one time 3 survivors trying to protect 1st survivor in the beginning of game, i hit two of them and hook the 1st...dc
not doing so well cos 1 crazy survivor keeps taunting me even when i move away, meg comes back and does it again. 3 survivors make the exit, i hook her...dc
probably more reasons that i can't think of right now
it really isn't fair especially when killer is rank 17-15 face 8-7 survivors, or killer rank 14-13 face rank 4 survivors

They’re already asking for nerfs three posts above yours.
2 -
Yes. People think he’s op now, unfun, and would rather dc and move on than play against him. I get why, he is insufferable.
1 -
People who dc should be banned for a week. Give them time to think.
6 -
If that were the case, people would just let themselves get hooked and suicide
1 -
He also have some missions on the tome, hence the increase in doc numbers.
0 -
why should other team mates and the killer, who like the doc, suffer? there are plenty of people who like the doc...

I seen a Yui the other day intentionally tey to get the plagues attention the other day by sliding across the pallet. But the Plague ignored her so yui dced.

Favourite book of all time. Well played.

back at you, life is pain...deal with it, don't dc!

Nice to meet you 😋

While ds was bugged against doc I saw high amount of dc's as all doctors just tunneled. Now its back to normal 1-2 dc per game.
1 -
one match I got instant dc on first down because he failed to use a near-safe pallet properly (didn't drop it on first loop) and then 2nd person dc'd right after. other match was fine but person who got 2nd hooked in basement gave up

I certainly don't approve of it but I can understand the frustration. When the killer came out updated, it was impossible to find a lobby with a different killer. And it is very unfun playing against the same killer over and over again. Even now in PS4 Red Ranks, we got a doctor 3 out of 4 games. That can make gameplay super stale.

Gone up against doctor 7 times in a row yesterday. Boring af didn't DC but just ran around like an idiot dropping fireworks. But I don't blame people for disconnecting, some have good reason too.
1 -
it is not just the doc where you can face him multiple times in a row!
what about billy, ghostface, bubba, freddy?

There werent. There were players that stopped playing.
Theres a difference between not playing, and disconnecting, ruining the game for everyone else.
0 -
There were both. Some stopped playing, some decided to take it out on the survivors they played against by intentionally ruining their games.
0 -
I am fine with that.

Actually it's not even that, even with doctor I hit the skill checks at least 90% of the time. It's really not that difficult. Even with unnerving presence. I DC against doc because it's just honestly so frustrating. His terror radius affects a decent sized area, especially with distressing and then to get a small map like haddonfield or Giddeon. You can't win because he always knows where you're at, and if his terror radius shock doesn't get you, most high rank killers run BBQ, so the doc always knows your location so you can't really win against it. And looping a doctor is very difficult, it's up there with looping a clown. I just feel his rework is a little too strong

You should check out Bricky's store. He has a Doc Shock Tee with docs face above 4 disconnect logos. I have one myself 😄

It screws over your teammates most likely ending up in them losing and ruining their fun. Killers get more bp for downing you and hooking you 3 times than you dcing on your first down or immediately. Dcing is also against the rules.
Basically you not having fun doesn't justify ruining everyone elses.
2 -
I honestly get upset playing against doctor right now, and it's not because of the rework. I started running calm spirit once killers started running infectious and still run it to this day, but every doctor decides it's tunnel time once they find out. Even with DS and everything else, I either remove it and suffer the consequences, or run it and also suffer.

I wouldn't say only Doc. I have been seeing DC's from both sides since the update. Survivors haven't really changed much, they always DC when things don't go their way - because they are pissed off and know that by doing so is denying the Killer points. So it's more of a punishment for Killer than it is for yourself when you DC as survivor.
Killer's have started to DC because they don't want to waste time in a game that is being ended quickly. When they have a mere second que time to get into a better match.
At the same time, I think even more people also understand that DCing had always been the biggest and fastest way to tell Dev's somethings not right (in their opinion).

DCing is just an issue in general. If things aren't going the survivors way or they simply don't like it, DC. But it's definitely more common against doc. I took a break from the game for about a month or 2 and came back for a bit to try the new Doc. On my first match back I got 3 DCs. I was rank 14 they were all rank 8. Then as I reached rank 12 i started going against rank 3s, even then they were DCing a lot.
0 -
I haven't noticed very many DC's in my Doc games. But I don't camp or tunnel like most Doc players seem to.

People disconnect when I beat them as clown. It gets really annoying, because they think they are going to win due to me playing "the worst killer" so they try to bully me, and then cry when they find out that a have even half a brain cell. It gets to a point where it stops being funny.
0 -
Dcing for anything that you deem unfun, unfair, or just about any reason, or even when you have literally 0 reason at all, is the norm. Always has been, apparently always will be.

I disconnected against a doctor last time I played and its been a few days. Still don't feel bad about it. The game spawned the doctor on top of me, got sandbagged by my rescuer at a pallet.
So doc beelines for me again since I got revealed so I was like okay let me be your tour guide. Then you know the downstairs badham safe pallet? Got shocked so I couldn't use it.
There legit wasn't anything I could really do that match but I instantly got into a better game and had lots of fun. I wouldn't have had that great game if I didn't leave the doctor game. Sometimes you just have to.

I haven't seen anyone dc or kill themselves against a doc yet but how odd
0 -
I like new doc and all but like ive been playing killers who tunnel and camp, im rank 5 and fighting ######### rank 15s why
0 -
Another thing to consider is the doctor has 2 challenges in the tome so a lot of people are probably playing him for those as well. I believe one has to do with his ability and one is for the overcharge perk. So anyone that doesn’t have the teachable overcharge would have to use doctor
0 -
because theyre bad players and cant handle having to have some form of skill and knowledge to beat a killer, iv been perfectly happy going against him, first few games were rough but i got a good tactic against him now. people will create reasons like he`s OP, its boring to verse him all the time etc. but end of the day he`s new, of course people want to play him, he wasnt very good before so its nice to see a killer thats been in the game ages actually get played! there are plenty of killers i never see and thats because the killers themselves arent very good, survivor is already easy enough so i dont blame killers wanting to play those who are new or stronger... like do hags,demo,myers,bubba,wraith,clown,legion really ever get played much? i think over the past 60 survivor games i had 1 of those... kinda stupid, but im all for the bans so hopefully it will sort these babys out

I don't mind playing him, but I HATE playing against him. He needs some tweaks.

I feel you man. These kids attack you for being good and send the nastiest messages. I love the doctors rework. No killer is too good. I just played a match as The Shape and everyone DC'd almost immediately to allow just 1 player to escape and they see it as victorious. I accept that everytime they DC it's because they simply suck. Survivors are ruining our game. 2 years or so ago the game was excellent. Now all these little kids running around ruining the fun for everyone. The toxicity is out of control and I don't think the devs understand that the killers are bread and butter. The one person they should listen to they ignore and it's the killers.
I play both sides evenly and always have fun. Only time it sucks is when people DC. I accept the tunneling and face camping because i always have counters to them and I'm good at chases.
I wanna post a pic of the game I had where they all DC except 1 but I can't figure why it won't accept it.
I'm new here btw so any advice on posting pics and vids is appreciated.

There's a little paper clip icon in the spot below where you type your comment, it'll let you post pictures.
I do agree about 2 years ago. Bring back infinite and stop entity blockers, open up all the windows and bring decisive back. Back then survivors had the tools to deal with being tunneled. Now the killer will get you eventually through bloodlust unless you lose them. Something hard to do when you're screaming constantly.
I love it. Hope I helped.
