Do you think that the doctor should be nerfed?

I feel that the doctor needs a nerf. The only counter to the doctor's abilities at the current moment is calm spirit; a perk that not many people are willing to run. I feel that maybe a nerf to either his ability to cancel abilities with shock therapy or a cooldown nerf to static blast should be implemented soon.

What do you think about the doctor in the current meta?

    I meant to put other options. I just accidentally hit the enter key.

    Please feel free to write your other opinions in the comments.

    I posted a poll like this too early as well, not finishing all the options I wanted to give.

    You can just rename the post and call it deleted or something like that, and make a new poll, if you want to. Or just @ one of the moderators if I'm not mistaking, so they delete it. Sadly I can't find the message that was sent to me when a mod deleted my poll that I posted too early.

    But on the other hand this poll does allow one to choose whether Doc is op or not so that's maybe enough already.

    Doctor is fine. No nerfs necessary.

    Also Calm Spirit is not his only counter. Lockers and staying out of his terror radius work wonders against Static Blast (which already has a 60 second cooldown and can only be reduced to 50 seconds with two add-ons). Not camping windows or pallets and throwing pallets early help counter his shock stun.

    I do feel like he has too many baseline abilities, but not enough people play him for it to seem like a real problem in the grand scheme of my game time.

    The only thing I would change is to make Madness 3 require 4 points of madness instead of 3.

    I actually like that he has a lot of different aspects to his abilities, especially the added afflictions he can give you with his addons.

    Even though it does seem like a lot though, all combined still doesn't really feel op in my opinion. His chase potential is great but everything else is just ok.

    I miss the passive deterioration of the madness outside of his terror radius, that's the only change I'd make with him right now.

    I think the latest Buffs he got with Chapter 15 were not necessary. Making things like Reversed Skill Checks Baseline and the addition of Add Ons which decrease the Cooldown after a Shock especially.

    The new doctor is fine, plus I love his new terror radius music

    Your avatar is the doctor...so your opinion seems like to may be a touch biased. ;)

    Its strange that I see more people complaing about the weaker side being way too strong then the stronger

    Wow, completely one sided results, 29 people who voted he definitely doesn't need the nerf vs. the OP who originally made the poll in the first place. (At the time of writing)

    Those results are the way they are for good reason though.
