Impossible Skill Check Doc

Ever since I learned impossible skill check doc, he quickly became my main killer (Hag -> Legion -> Twins -> Doctor) and now that overcharge is buffed, I can assume we'll see a lot more of him and hopefully there'll be more builds that use his terror radius.

However I was wanting to know, for the survivors that have gone up against an ISC Doc, did you enjoy it? Would you have preferred to go again a normal meta build doc as I can imagine ISC is very frustrating? I don't play much survivor and I know most people don't play meme builds but which killer do you enjoy going against their meme builds?

    Survivor main. I had to look up that build, never come up against it haha. Sounds annoying as hell, but maybe what all those people who complain about M1 gen simulator would like 😂

    I used it yesterday on Dead Dawg Saloon. Unnerving, Distressing, Huntress Lullaby and Merciless Storm, with purple Calm add-on. It was fine at first until I got around to two survivors who had similarly dirty 'impossible-hook' builds. Unbreakable, Tenacity, Flip-Flop and Boil Over, and refused to leave the top floor of the saloon...

    The gens are pretty damn slow without any direct regression perks, but damn did that game last a long time. They did eventually get 4 gens done simply because I spent so much time dealing with unhookable survivors.

    I've played against it a couple times, I don't find it too bad, it's not like it happens every game so it can be fun to have a little something different. My favourite meme build to go against has to be scratched mirror myers though (if that counts as one) every time, those are always my favourite games and now spine chill is nerfed they'll be even more fun.

    *buffed. Spine Chill is buffed.

    Old Spine Chill: Tells you if a killer is within 36 AND facing your direction, but only if both are true.

    New Spine Chill: Tells you simultaneously if killer is; within 36m, and/or facing your direction, and/or the strength of their terror radius, giving you a more precise distance measurement.

    It doesn't really work once you go vs really good survivors. It's not a super viable build. Just because you saw it work once in YTber video, doesn't mean it's good.

    Good survivors are prepared for it once they see it's Doctor. And with Unnerving Presence the increased chance of getting a skillcheck is the one thing that can screw your game completely over. They get punished only for missing a skillcheck, their skillcheck area is smaller, but IMO it makes it easier to hit great skillchecks that way.

    It is a fun build, but you will hit a wall with it sooner or later. Doctor isn't a top tier killer, you have to take into consideration that too.

    It's like with the 4 slowdowns Legion. Yeah games will last longer, but that's about it, it's not a threatening killer, run away from terror radius and do gens.

    Merciless storm on it's own is a comfy perk for doc at least

    The fact it has interaction with his power makes it such a unique perk on him

    I have gone against ISC Doctor only once before, but it was a real blast !

    I generally like going against Doctor, I think he has fun mechanics, and ISC Doctors are rare enough to be exotic rather than frustrating. I get why people might not like it, but it's so funny to me when gens are exploding left and right. It's also good practice !

    So all in all, regardless of if it's viable or powerful, I really enjoy going against ISC ! :D


    As for other meme builds, any backpack build with Mad Grit/Iron Grasp is fun in my opinion !

    Yesss, mad grit is so funny. Getting chased while the killer swings like a mad man
