Can you loop Doctor?
Whenever, I go against Doctor. I keep my distance so it takes him awhile to catch up and then proceed to waste pallets because you can’t really greed them or pallet stun doctor (if he’s good with shocks). And vaults are often a waste since you can’t mind game them either.
Every chase I’ve won against Doctor has either been with an exhaustion perk or because I’ve run into someone else who’s taken the agro instead. I’m not sure if you can traditionally loop him, I’ve never been able to do it. Any tips or thoughts?

You can't really loop him, but you can chain windowns very easily if he charges his shock. Its all about running away from his shock

Yes, you can. If you have semi-competent teammates, he won't catch you in time to stop gens from popping.

It's all about being able to dodge his shocks. If you can then you'll be fine. If not, it'll be a short chase.

you can drop 2 pallets some what close to each other and just bounce between them , eventually he will have to break one since he isnt gaining blood lust if he is shocking you, when he does you just leave him behind and if he does manage to get you down by the time he hooks you 3 gens probably popped
pallets are only wasted in chase if you get hit as you drop it because the killer is on a clock

easy to loop. The main problem with his shock stun has remained, plus on some loops the doctor still has to shock you few times before catching up.

Bold of you to assume I can loop in the first place.
Joking. Although Doctor, he just feels a little different in regards to chase. His music makes it really hard to hear his breathing or footsteps, and his addons can make him a little brainless due to the red stain addons, but those are higher rarity and not that big of an issue for me. You just need to get a little time with it, Doctors can frequently miss shock therapy if you pathfind just right, but the pallet issue can be a bit annoying.

As a (current) Doctor main, Survivors dropping pallets early and baiting vaults is my biggest weakness. Really good Survivors will try to mindgame their vault and punish my charge time by making distance.

You can loop him
You just can't mindlessly loop him. You do have to pay attention to what he's doing

You CAN loop Doctor. Just stop looping him like every other killer. Stop camping pallets, and stop going for stuns. Drop the pallet early and force him to break it.

you don't need to loop the killer to allow your team mates to do all the gens. You can just run to a pallet, drop it early, then play it if the doctor doesn't break it. You can throw pallets early and you will have some left over after 5 gens, this game is not set up for survivors to lose. Throwing shack pallet early is also ok now, games are way too quick for the shack pallet to matter.

You can, you just can't get too greedy. You'd probably better off keeping a bit of distance between you and him and then breaking LOS and acting unpredictably. Running around the same thing over and over makes it really easy for him to predict where you're going and shock you, randomly splitting off from the loop or loop a different part of the loop makes it harder for them to hit it.
