This game just feels like a bully simulator at times
I tried playing Doctor with 1 perk (Monitor and Abuse) tonight and literally felt like I could not do anything. The survivors on the team kept blinding me with flashlights (even when I was just walking around), teabagging me after every pallet stun (and at the exit gates), flashlight clicking, swarming hooks with BT, swarming gens, and gen rushing. And when I tried using Doc's shock therapy, it didn't even register on the survivors it hit half of the time.
Maybe I just had a really bad game, I don't know. But It was really frustrating.

Well, those are the best games to tunnel. I brought a cake for the first time since anniversary after I swore them off because of gen rushing betas. This time, I got my revenge. Relatively speaking. 2 kills and the two people who got away were on death hook. Only one made it because of an Unbreakable/ Decisive play that somehow lasted long enough for me to chase someone cross map and kill them. It was probably only a few seconds from fading which would have been an easy 3k if I was patient. Or if unbreakable didn't exist, I guess.
The lesson I learned, I am never going to bring cakes for survivors again (wish I learned it the first time). The test run failed and I am swearing it off completely unless we get a bloodhunt. It is crazy to see how much I have improved since then.

Unfortunately it's become a culture.
A quick search of YouTube. Pages and pages of results for videos to the style of "MAKING THE KILLER QUIT LOL!!!".
What these scholars don't understand is that they're turning people away from the game. But it's all worth it to spoil someone else's experience and make a video with a thumbnail of a hilariously distorted smiling survivor.
If one of these individuals knows they can purposely irritate online...they will.

And it is even more pathetic that they throw down to low mmr for content. Or smurf, whatever.

You're not wrong, but I would never go into a match without 4 tier 3 perks (that I would normally use) and 2 add-ons. The game isn't balanced around perkless/add-onless killer. You don't even have to play that killer to get perks on them. Just get bp through other killers or survivor, then put it all into them so that you can get your perks/add-ons and be ready for a real match.

Base Doctor isn't good. His shock at base has little range and a huge shock-delay so people will typically scream and still vault windows/drop pallets in your face so he's got no effective chase power.
Always use range and/or discipline addons so you can shock them earlier and/or with less shock-delay.
Other than that there's not much you will be able to do against flawlessly playing survivor as they will walk all over Doctor anyways regardless of experience.
There's a guy literally called HermanTheDoctor who has mained Doctor since (I think) 2018 and even he still loses regularly even though he obviously plays Doctor at 100% of his potential.

I didn’t want to use the sword and shield to fight the tiger so I tried with my bare hands instead…I lost.. in case anyone cares…

I used to be like 90% killer, but since SBMM, nerfs to my main killers (DS, Wraith), then boon totems (CoH is broken), I just don't care and play survivors way more. It's just more fun, less stress.

I'll add that this is also definitely a Doctor issue. He's such a strange Killer when it comes to performance, I find. Against newer players he's an absolute god, but an experienced Survivor will simply deny you your power without ever needing to worry about any of the afflictions. The slowdown, together with the strange timing that doesn't work half the time due to ping makes his shock incredibly unreliable most of the time.

This metaphor is super accurate cause fighting a tiger even with a sword and shield would be a losing battle

A lot of pvp games feel this way. It just means you are going against a better team. Sometimes they add toxicity, some don’t. I sometimes feel this way playing killer, survivor, guess my other example outside dbd would be the newer cods. People love spraying bodies, especially if you’re killing them a lot. Remember it’s just a game, if you’re not enjoying it leave or go afk till its done. Not worth getting upset over.
