Doctor is absurd (video)

Personally I don't think so, it's a 1v4, if you're evenly skilled, it's only a matter of time before the Killer catches onto you.

People actually using monto videos as evidence to prove a point, you do realize that almost all his video's are cherry picked and doesn't always go down like that in his streams. Doc is fine just drop the pallet early and don't try and loop him like a basic Killer.

It is harder to find evidence to suggest a killer who can beat rank 1 teams. not complete potato's that run in middle of nowhere. I'm going give you a visual representation in words. Suppose hypothetically that you ran in a straight line from one side of fracture cowshed to another and whenever doctor would be in range to shock, He would shock you. What would happen is that the doctor would never make any distance because he would keep slowing himself down until you got to other end of the map and this would continue indefinitely.

So why does this matter? In loops, every time you turn a corner, the killer comes closer to you every time you don't drop a pallet when looping a filler pallet. This is true for every killer, but in the case of doctor, he does this as well but at slower rate. Logically, if you kept looping same side, eventually he would come close enough to you and he would hit you. The reason why this works is because when your looping, your not following a straight line and this goes into another myth where some people will tell you something along lines of killer having bigger models than survivors result in them moving slower around the loop. Obviously this isn't true but you might see some highlight compilation of a survivor looping a killer 20 times around a loop when in reality, the killer is like rank 20. In order to go in straight line so that you can loop doctor's shock therapy, you need to use both sides of the loop. Just illustrate my point, at 12:14 in Monto's video, Claudette runs to double truck loop and for some reason just stands there by the pallet. Claudette should have continue going forward and she should have kept looping either side of the truck loop. The goal is to bait the doctor into using shock therapy as many times as possible and than switch to the other side of the loop. Depending how tightly the survivor and the killer hug the corner of each loop, It will take 3-4 shocks before the doctor catch up. When you think he will catch up on the next loop, you want him to shock you and you will move to the other side of the loop and begin loop the other side of the truck. In theory, you could loop doctor indefinitely and never drop the pallet, however this technique works because both side of the loop are equally safe. Not every pallet in DBD is equally safe on both sides, so for some pallets, you will loop safe side and than be required to make a read to get to the pallet and hopefully stun the killer.

There is more to looping doctor than that. There are certain pallets where doctor will stand adjacent to the loop and you can make a read for whether to put pallet on his side or the other side of the loop at which point depending safety of the loop, you play the pallet or move to another tile if you win 50/50. There are other pallets very specific pallets also known as god pallets that appear on various maps like The game map below staircase, below bathroom, the shack and Lery library etc. These type of pallets when dropped need to be broken, however If the doctor thinks your rank 20 survivor, He might attempt to shock you and if he successfully shocks you, he can trap you on one side of the pallet and than hit you. Those are the shocks in which you need to dodge when camping those pallets.

This isn't guide to say that you will always escape doctor or never take a hit. There have been conversation in the past regarding whether survivor should be able to indefinitely 1vs1 a killer such as Spirit but that is entirely different topic. This is guide how to waste the killer's time and do as much damage in a chase against Doc. Monto is the type of the guy who will use iri head+infantry huntress and lose with it than say in the video that huntress requires no aiming skill and just shoots whales at you. It is just a lot of non-sense. As for the add-on, doctor does not need discipline add-on to time his shock therapy, Discipline add-on is mostly used for the ability to remove the doctor red-stain. The detonation delay just makes you shock little later rather than sooner and it makes it a tiny bit harder to juke shock on some situations for survivor. as a side note, it indirectly increases his shock therapy cooldown recovery which becomes very noticeable if both are add-on are stacked. you will feel "paused" for longer. The range add-on is useful for stop instant drop pallet drops from very far away to begin clock-wise shock therapy explained in paragraph 2 and it was good answer to some of god-windows present on old Ironwork of misery loop. Apart from Myer's house god-window in Haddonfield and couple of other places, this add-on does not play a big part in doctor's ability to shock therapy most loops. I know this post looks like a large wall of text but It is a lot of information to write out on paper to answer your question. This does not cover every single possible situation, It just covers some of the basics.
