Am I the only 1 who thinks doc rework sounds like a buff
First things first I dont like playing against his passive as surv but I also dont care too much for it when playing doc. I dont have trouble finding survivors with other killers so not so fussed about his passive being removed. I have to switch between his ability and attack which slows me down to 110% in treatment.
If I heard what they plan to change correctly he still keeps his static shock:
With the rework I'm going to be able to static shock people to stop them from vaulting/dropping pallets and be able to hit the straight after without having to swap mode, also staying at 115%. Which to me sounds so much better, obviously thos depends on if the devs dont change the charge time for shock drastically or something else you hurt him.
If I'm missing something do tell me. But for the most part, gonna have to wait and see.

No, almost everyone sees more like a buff than a nerf

All I've seen is how it's a survivor sided change, catering to what the survivors want.

It's a loss to his tracking which was his original purpose..however stance swap being removed can indeed help his chasing..but already we know his range addons have been nerfed by an unknown amount which is already a potential red flag

Nah it definitely sounds good, I can't wait to try him out now that all the stuff that makes him annoying to play is gone, and he's getting a distinct buff to his ability to stall multiple survivors.

I definitely think this seems like a buff.

In most case it could be but :
1) We don't know if they gonna buff the range from his base kit shock
2) We know the new addons and they took away the exhaustion and make the addons that give range to you shock less effect.
3)The new ability has a way too much cooldown for the game. Yes, i know it gives one full madness but it can be counted with a locker.
4) All those things don't help doc in gameplay and only make him easier to counter.

They removed his insta grab, which was his only good thing.

Not having to switch modes is a buff. The rest to me comes across as a nerf to make him less "annoying" to play against. The blast isn't good because someone can say "Oh okay he just used his blast now I can go hide, lose my madness and be good for a minute." My only issue with doctor at all is that ring add on sucks and should be changed to something else and of course switching modes makes it hard sometimes to close after a shock in time. I put that down to not knowing the timing good enough though rather than a downside. I actually liked how static field worked so the blast is a huge downside to me. They really could've just experimented with that by removing ring and putting the blast as an add on.

I believe one of the devs on here eventually confirmed that base kit shock range would be buffed slightly, but the range add-ons would be nerfed.
In exchange, he now does not need to switch between Treatment Mode and Punishment Mode, so he can shock to deny pallet/vault and then M1 more efficiently.
