    My guess for Doctor is they’ll make part of the Discipline addons basekit and/or 1 meter extra shock therapy range.

    Clown I’m less sure, but maybe 1 extra bottle or another reload buff. If it’s the former, Pinky Finger likely gets nerfed again to -4 bottles to keep it at 1.

    The most serious and only accurate answer:

    We have no clue.

    For Doctor probably some form of shock delay reduction base kit and shock range, maybe slap a teleport on him to able to teleport to his clones. Maybe decrease in aoe shock cooldown?

    For Clown possibly a teleport, like the Jack in the Box idea ScottJund brought up years ago, probably completely changing pinky finger, removing the blurr effect of his bottles, maybe decreasing delay on the yellow bottles activating?

    I can't say what they're going to do, but I can definitely say what I want them to do.

    Basekit Discipline addon for Doctor to improve the shock detonation delay, and partial basekit Smelly Inner Soles for Clown so he doesn't slow down to such an obscene degree while reloading. If those things happen, I'm totally happy.

    For Doctor I hope they make his brown range addon base kit and maybe give him a slightly faster shock as well as some more addon variety. He really doesn't need the same 4 addons in 3 different rarities.

    For Clown I expect one more bottle base kit, faster reload (either shorter time or higher movement speed) as well as some addon changes.

    I do not think they will be buffed. Given the past history, I expect things Survivors dislike will be nerfed. In this case, Static Blast and Pink Bottles.

    Static Blast will likely have an increased cool done and perhaps Shock Therapy will require a recharge.

    Pink Bottles will probably have decreased slow and vision impairment.

    Probably get some worthless buff like 0.5% Haste on Sundays so it won’t be considered a total nerf. Doc joins Clown, Freddy, and Trapper in trash tier.

    Doctor: Nerf madness and possibly a shock therapy buff so that he is less dependent on addons, which are likely to become useless. I think if they seriously take up the processing of this killer, they will most likely try to remove all the unpleasant elements from him according like the special skillchecksany case, I advise you to expect that to some extent it will be nerf.

    And the clown is most likely another nerf of the finger and an improvement in the quality of life for survivors when playing against him (not necessarily a direct weakening) and a buff of practically useless yellow bottles (most likely an addon will be implanted with a prolongi ng effect)
