Should doctor get nerfed ?

Just because a killer is common doesn't mean they need to be nerfed. Doctor's one of the more balanced killers, although heavily hurt by latency.

@Altarf im not saying that me seeing a lot of doctors meaning he should get nerfed im just wondering what you all think.

the base doctor is fine (against most teams).
As someone who mains and plays Doctor consistently, I would:
Nerf yellow and green range addon aka Polished electrode and High stimulus electrode make mouldy electrode base kit.
Base Doctor can struggle hard even against a decent team but will also dominate a team that relies to much on stealth and don't understand how to handle killer aggro

No, he's quite well balanced.
What even brought the idea of nerfing him up ?

No, he's fine right now.

Personally ( and i swear im not biased) I feel Doc is fine where he is a B-tier maybe low A at best with good tracking and a decent anti-loop game, his add-ons are fun and balanced, his perks are good for his kit and make sense lore-wise, his power makes sense and isn't OP. Plus there is a good amount of counterplay that survivors can use pre-drop pallets, hide in lockers when you hear him using static blast and you're in his tr, and even better is you can mind-game his shock therapy pretty good since it takes a sec to use and has a bit of latency ( you can DH it as well if you really wanna ) and he slows a bit when using it. Honestly could be top 5 in most balanced killers.

Doc is great imo. They could tone down his screen effects for anyone who finds them annoying though
2 -
Anyone who thinks he should be nerfed balance-wise is trolling without a doubt. He's one of the most balanced killers in the game.
2 -
No, he's the perfect example of a mid-tier & balanced killer
2 -
Wait...
...didn't you say he was unbalanced a few days ago?
Redemption arc.

My point still stands with what I said before, but this has nothing to do with that.
1 -
Wat.
So you don't want him to get nerfed, yet you said they should remove his anti-loop abilities because of how unfair it was to prevent survivors from vaulting/dropping pallets?
2 -
He's mid tier & shouldn't be nerfed, but his shock ability is too powerful so he should be nerfed.
0 -
I think they're doing that with the midchapter update.

Doctor is perfectly fine, if your a good survivor and know how to loop properly and know his counters you will be fine facing him.
2 -
Doctor is spamming shocks. So maybe that can be little nerf but i dont think Doctor is op. He is good enough.
0 -
@Northener1907 i think he should be given a cooldown between shocks maybe 5 seconds who knows
0 -
Nope. He's annoying and someone with the timing down basically removes the ability to play from the survivor, but it's difficult to time tbh, If anything, I'd like them to nerf his on-screen effects for everyone because it makes everyone lag out. Never have I ever gone against someone playing Doctor that couldn't hit me from the moon.
I do think some of his add-ons are overkill, too, but that's a different story.

Okay nvm you're trolling lol
6 -
No but I wish they'd tone his laugh down a bit, most OP part about him
0 -
If the survivors split up and work on all different gens, he is as bad as every other M1 killer. No nerf needed.
0 -
Nah, Doctor is mid-tier at best.
2 -
That would make it really easy to loop him.
1 -
No, if anything he is pretty weak without discipline addons.
0 -
I think he's fine if not a little Addon/Perk reliant, but so is everyone else except Nurse and Huntress

The doctor is a noob stomper.
His advantage is that he has great detection and a minor amount of antiloop/stall.
But against most players he's very average due to his lack of mobility and lethality both of which counter balance his advantages.

Doctor should get small tweaks in my view but not exactly nerfs or buffs. His entire kit is to track survivors but I feel the hallucinations should do more than just be a varying way to track survivors. For example I feel the Doctor illusions should occasionally run at a survivor from around the corner to make them feel they're being chased by an actual thing to show what proper madness would be like. Maybe they see a survivor working on a generator or a totem that isn't really doing so, etc.
Madness overall is underutilized and instead it becomes something merely to track survivors rather than fool them. I get maybe that's the intended purpose but thematically Doctor's power feels kind of stale because of it. There are much better ways to locate a survivor and killers that can have a fair compromise of tracking for better killing power.
Overall though in Doctor's current form they're fine. Granted I feel they're featuring lacking.

I just treat him like clown if he shocks me I keep running if he dosent I drop the pallet the only thing idk what to do is at windows

He is extremely annoying to play against purely because he can use his power as a 'I cant find anyone' button. I like to keep out of the way of the killer, but doctor counters my playstyle of avoiding LOS and keeping a low profile. It is what it is, I won't say nurf him because I don't like him, I just have to accept it.
2 -
Base Doc is fine. Just nerf a few of his addons.
0 -
the thing is even a pro doc who can perfectly time his shocks is going to struggle against a team of survivors who just focus gens. yes, he will f you up in a chase but unlike killers like nurse and spirit it takes him a while to do it so he can't capitalise and snowball as well of downs

He's fine

No.
