How often do you face Doctor and Hag?

I almost never see these killers anymore which is crazy because I remember them being quite frequent back when I first picked up the game (Silent Hill chapter). I'm actually seeing Demogorgan more often than both of them combined and Demo is arguably the rarest of the bunch. I didn't even realize it until just now but I think this has been going on for a few months.

What happened?

Hard nerfs?

SBMM?

Too many apples🍎?

    Hag twice in 4 months. Normally it's a mix of Doc Sadako GF Twins Legoin Miss Piggy Trickster. Then the odd Bing bong man Nem Pinhead and Myers.

    I see Doctor every now and again. I rarely see Hag. I can go weeks and not see her.

    Doctor every once in a while. Hag almost never, and she’s also bugged currently and has been for some time.

    One's power is canceled by getting in a locker, and pre-dropping. The other's is cancelled by holding crouch, and flashlights.

    Why would it be a question why they don't get played often?

    Hag and the Doc are my favoirte killers to play. When playing survivor i rarely ever see a hag once every 2 months it seems. And i rarely encounter a doctor even thou they are so much fun to play when you want to annoy people and get some hate.

    I never see Hag players anymore at all. Is Hag even still in the game?

    Over the last several months I've probably seen both a handful of times. Not often at all.

    Doctor - sometimes

    I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've seen Hag maybe twice in two months.

    Doc I'll see at least once or twice a night.


    Hag I only see when it's the blood moon, 22nd of February, after the Goyer family has had meatloaf for the 3rd time that week.

    I saw a Doc today actually,but I don't remember the last time I saw a Hag

    Doctor's not that uncommon, but Hag's extremely rare. Which of course means nobody knows how to play against her when one does show up and everyone gets wrecked.

    Doctor I see once every 20 games. Hag maybe only see her once every 40 (which is still too much for me). Hopefully her bugs don't get fixed 😁

    Hag has a hard time keeping up with the current pace of the game. She needs time to setup and can't really just opt out of it as she needs her traps to make up for her low mobility. Few people want to sweat quite that hard for little payoff. Doctor just seems to not be a killer people care to play very often. He's an m1 killer with interesting tracking and stalling tools, but there is just better killers to put time into.

    I haven’t seen either of them in a very long time, which is a shame, since Doctor’s one of my favourite killers to face

    Both of these killers are very rare for me I almost never see either of them.

    Surprisingly I play against a lot of Twins even before the twins tome released.


    I played against Lynxi the other day she's so scary on this killer hitting these insane snipes with Victor.


    I think most Twins mains plays at high MMR since this killer is very hard and unique,you need good game sense and knowledge of the game you also have to be on point when using your power or else you get punished pretty badly.

    My games against Twins are always exciting since the killer knows what he's doing so the games are tough and hard to win.

    Rarely, if ever. But I see Doctor more than Hag.

    Let's all be thankful Hag is rare. Playing vs. her is rarely a good time.

    I have been playing Hag since release but I am busy loading up perks on newer killers and getting better with them. I mastered her a long time ago and so only bring her out for daily or rift challenges.

    I wish the game would show us how many hours or matches we played as each killer.

    I very rarely see Doctor, but I do see the odd Hag.

    Keep in mind that Hag has been bugged for a while, and despite dozens of reports the bug hasn't been fixed or even acknowledged.

    I love playing against Hag, unless it's Midwich or RPD.

    They were actually my go-to killers, but i have played hag only about 3 time after the Hex;TotH- nerf, because it destroyed my favorite playstyle with her. i never used to hookcamp with her, but now i feel thats the only way she is viable, because her setup time is too high considered how easily it is broken, as well as hit-and-run tactics dont work since CoH.

    Doctor is still ok, but he is so very mapdependent thats not even funny. I hear the reworked myers map is now killer sided, but not on side of this killer. Although, if i take a map offering to midwich or the game, i rarly lose it.

    But thats just me.

    I see both killer in stupidly rare ocassion. Like twice per month at best.

    Doctor is more common than Hag.

    However, you have to keep in mind that we have so many Killers. So the odds of seeing all of them on a regular basis are pretty small.

    And Hag was always one of the least picked Killers, because you really, really, really have to like her gameplay to have fun with her. And I am not sad about it, faced one yesterday, got put into the Basement with a Gajillion Traps around it and died on my first Hook. Same happened to another Survivor, so a 2K with 2 Hooks for the Hag.

    This was enough Hag for me for this month.
