Will Doc be destroyed after Silent Hill gets released?

The screams are not imprecise at all, they show the final location where the survivor was. Having 2-3 screams from the same person and you know their pathing. They scream more often than the hallucinations spawn and they are much more distinctive.

Like I said, it will be a very big nerf for doc gameplay in general. Ofcourse doc will still have his powers, but its simply going to be like using amanda's letter when everyone is using Sole Survivor. Its just a massive ######### you towards 1 specific killer essentially. A killer that wasnt super strong in the first place, and since his rework gained some strength.

True, but you also remain oblivious for 45 seconds if you go outside the 8 meter range of the person you healed. Especially if everyone is injured, the killer could easily sneak up on them and get a free down. Especially if you already run Nurses and know they will probably keep healing.

It's not the greatest perk, but its good enough to be ran consistently on a handful of killers. Im not saying it should be nerfed, ######### that, its just that I definitely see this perk being used more commonly than Iron Maiden and Infectious Fright to a point where running Calm Spirit will be quite viable. Right now its a niche perk and actually fun to run and have killers be confused about the lack of scream when someone gets downed, let alone to constantly be spamming lockers when you find out it has Iron Maiden. But part of Doctors strength is that the scream and shock stack, preventing survivors from vaulting for 3.5/4-ish seconds instead of 2.5 because of the scream(which I honestly dont think was initially intended, but it makes Calm Spirit kinda worth running in the first place).

I mean, people claimed reworked Ruin would never be used because it was "so terrible", yet I still see ruin almost every other game. I have yet to see a so called "unused" perk to not show up once every 1-2 hours. Ofcourse that doesnt include actual terrible perks, I sometimes just dont see them at all, but I've heard plenty people claim that Dead Man's Switch wouldnt get much use at all because "survivors will keep working on gens because they have no reason to instantly unhook", yet here we are, getting that perk at least 3 times a day because survivors dont play perfectly at all times. Especially not when they dont expect certain perks being used. Cruel Limits, in example, actually could have massive value simply because survivors tend to miscalculate how far it actually reaches(in some cases, 2 quick gens can literally block 80% of all vaults), basically creating multiple deathchambers where they run into, giving you a free hit, while also being unable to reach the next loopable structure because the closest ones are mostlikely blocked off too. Yeah, if Cruel Limits was used as commonly as BBQ, ofcourse people would know what to expect in the first place, but the devastating effect a single unsuspected perk can do can literally change games.

Well, you could say the same about Bamboozle. Its not exactly the greatest perk(even though it can literally break a windowdrop loop and was literally the strongest counter to old haddonfield with BL to a point where you could still get a hit), yet its common as #########. BBQ isnt exactly the greatest perk. Its not even the best at what it does. Yet the easy double bloodpoints in addition to detection is why its super common.

I'd say that NOED, Thana, Agitation and Brutal Strength are all worse than deathbound, yet I see them often enough to sometimes consider a counterbuild or counterplay. I already sometimes use Calm Spirit just to mix up my builds a bit, and its funny to have killers be ever be so confused to not hear a scream when someone drops. And if a killer happens to run Huntress with Iron Maiden(which is quite common, 70% of the huntresses I encounter have Iron Maiden and about 35% of the killers I face are Huntresses). So they dont tend to check lockers much outside reloading, since if they open more than 1 locker, survivors tend to try and go for the sneak escape, which Iron Maiden prevents. So there simply already is a reason to sometimes pick Calm Spirit if you're not tryharding, even though its a niche one. I've seen more Calm Spirits the past month, than I've seen Botany Knowledge, excluding games I play with my friend. Even though botany knowledge has more value overall,

"The distance required would guarantee that the survivor has a HUGE headstart if the killer does infact choose to initiate a chase. No killer wants to start chasing a survivor who is 32 meters away and already running."

I kinda disagree here. The survivors that tend to stay away from the killer tend to be the ones who are easier to catch in general. Those who want to stay close to the killer are often survivors who know how to keep the killer at bay. And while 32 meters is a lot, the largest distance, which is on Crotus Pren(considering you have to walk around the center rather than straight through) or Bloodlodge from the furtest distances, takes about 30 seconds, which is a lot, assuming nothing has been done all game. But a game has been played, pallets have been dropped, some being destroyed. Some gens being fixed open up a new gen. You might need to go there due to a certain objective in general and now you know that not only the location of 2 specific survivors, you know which one wont be able to hear you. And you know that unless that survivor happens to have spine chill, they wont know you're coming untill they hear the TR.

Besides, killers are able to cut off massive chunks in a chase where a survivor cant. A survivor wants to stay away as far as possible, and by doing so, enable you to cut off a ton of distance. Which, especially when they are injured, can save you a lot of time.

Considering everything that can happen in every game, not just assuming all games to go perfectly, this perk has a LOT of potential. Assuming all games are optimal SWF, yeah, its a bad perk. But thats not the case. 90% of 4 man SWF's arent even optimal. So you're basing the judgement of 1 perk to be on the behaviour of about 2% of the community. Which simply isnt the case. Most survivors I play with and against, are far from tryharding. Heck, most survivors, when I am survivor, end up ######### me over in some way or another, giving the killer the option to catch me in a situation where I dont expect to be chased, since someone else is being chased, and get a hit on me before I have the chance to remember all the obstacles I encountered in the map. Which can lead to an easy down(I once even had a killer claim that he didnt have a clue how I was rank 1, even though literally all pallets had been burned in the first minute of the game, and the killer had no TR. I literally had no idea the killer was close for the first hit, and I didnt have any place to run to since other players essentially turned those parts of the map into deadzones). Dont underestimate the stupidity of the average player, dont underestimate the lack of community in a game. Most survivors have to find out themselves what the state of the map is. Even when I play with friends in discord or teamspeak, some of them dont communicate where deadzones are and only inform me after I already ran to the deadzone. A false sense of security is sometimes all you need and even a baby killer can take down a high ranked survivor that is given a false sense of security. When I play solo survivor, that obviously is less common, because I already have to assume things are gone and that I can only rely on windows, any pallet given would be a blessing in the first place, but I can confidently say that in most cases all a killer needs is common sense and time to get what they need. And perks like death bound, aid a killer in that. Yes its ######### against optimal swf and high skill tryhard solo survivors, but in general, when you are not already in a chase or realize the chase is gonna last much longer and you have no inkling where other survivors might be, which is more common than you'd think, death bound is gonna be very useful.
