How many ways to counter play Doctor?

Having tough time with doctor ever since the buff seems a tad much sometimes when hes constantly able to find people unless have calm spirit. So other than that what else is there you can do?

Also with other vision abilities on top of his normal kit it's like he has eyes on you nonstop throughout the game. Used to enjoy playing against him never understood the reason for the buff. Have had some of my quickest games against him compared to most before it.

    Calm spirit is pretty much the only counter. i mean you could jump into a locker when you hear him powering up or if you are in his terror radius but then you'd probably just be locker hopping all game which isn't fun. personally i hate going up against the doctor, luckily not many people use him...at the moment anyway.

    Just loop him normally and drop pallets earlier if you see the shocking animation. Most players don't know how to shock properly anyways, myself included. He still suffers from lack of mobility and can still be genrushed. He is pretty much god tier on smaller maps though.

    He has no mobility or map presence so, once you have finished the central generator(s), he will have trouble patroling the others. This is an issue for most of the killers so most of the time I log into the match I try to rush the central generator(s).

    He has no great chase potential if you always drop the pallet before getting shocked, so I keep myself in the wall corners, hugging the wall and keeping an eye in his hand, and decide about dropping the pallet or vaulting or running to him (since he can't attack if he just used his power). He's a very, VERY weak killer against teams who know how to loop because he's a just anti-stealth killer. If you are getting trouble with him, probably you should work on your chase mechanics.

    If he is trying to shock to counter loops/pallets/etc too often, he will lose distance on you. If you can bait it similarly to how you bait killers who don't respect pallets, you can usually get a few extra loops out of them for free. Otherwise things like throwing pallets early can help for making distance, just make sure to recognize when you can and can't continue to use a loop after the pallet is down
