So instead of reworking the Doctor to make him viable...

You may have very well turned a low-tier killer in the worst killer in the game. Honestly that is an accomplishment, there are lots of bad killers in this game. These changes have been talked about for months now. I was expecting a Freddy-style rework, stupid me. How do you stop new survivors from dealing with the Doctor without removing him entirely? Make it so no one wants to play him.

    I'm willing to admit that I may have very well been mistaken on the Doctor being buffed. The changes we have learned about since the initial explanation (plus the leaked patch notes) now lead me to believe he is overall getting nerfed. Obviously could be wrong on this, but for now I have thus switched stance from Doc being overall buffed to being overall nerfed.

    It is pretty clearly a nerf. Doctor cannot do anything for 3 seconds after a shock, including hit or even shock again. Also the survivors aura will no longer be shown to him with a regular shock, only when madness tiers up. If you shock a survivor behind a wall, you will only know you hit them by his laugh.

    The only care about how the game plays for rank 15-20 survivors... They aren't focusing on red ranks, which they should be focusing on...

    Doctor was annoying to players that want to hide in the killers Terror Radius.

    Even though only the 1st tier was instant and the other tiers took a lot of time to build up. Clearly it was a broken ability and very frustrating to play against.

    Doctor in treatment mode has reduced speed that limits their movement around the map. Lockers could be used by survivors to negate the static field effect. The static field was 💩 and offered no counter play. No killer deserves to know where any survivor is at anytime by simply walking around.

    The onyl frustrating thing about Doctor is playing as him. As a survivor when I see Doctor I know it's gonna be ez win.
