I knew Doc was getting nerfed
Now he dosen't get his ability to find people as a consistent ability. His AOE is on a super long cooldown. The forced cooldown on Shock Therapy. It reeks of nurse for a killer that is way below her power level. I haven't played this game since the Legion nerf, and I am seeing no reason to come back now.

Most of the Doctor mains have said they find him stronger, because of the addon changes, the not having to swap treatment modes, the reliability of his abilities now, soon you will be able to shock and then hit immediately too which is a huge thing, all in all I think Doctor will become a very strong killer too myself. This is without a doubt a nerf to his passive (and obnoxious to play against passive) but a buff to him overall.
I think this is the best breakdown of the new Doctor:
1 -
Except he got several very good buffs

I don't see Any buffs. Some things to the addons but nothing major, while his base kit seems worse to me. especially with the 3 second cooldown after Shock Therapy.

The blast looks way better for tracking than the old passive. With the old one you only really have one insta-scream per survivor, afterwards it's too slow, gives them way more chance to get in a locker to avoid it and you're just strutting around at 110 wasting time you don't have. I don't understand why people now seem to think his old power was somehow good.

As a semi-formal doctor main, i say that is they reduce the therapy cooldown to 1 or at the very least 2 seconds, and reduce the blast to around 50-45 seconds, this rework can be pretty good.
(also to add 2 addons for the reverse skillchecks.

Devs have said they are going to reduce the cooldown on Shock Therapy, meaning overall this will be a buff to Doctor.

I used to main doc, and this is overall a nerf if certain things don't get fixed.

They are fixing the two major issues for live they already confirmed.

Can anybody tell me what Static Blast even does? It gets mentioned alongside Shock Therapy in the patch notes, but is never explained. I don't even know how it would be used since it seems M1 is hitting somebody and M2 is Shock Therapy.

Yea I made a post in the PTB feedback hopefully they look at it and everyone else's feedback so that we don't get this current version of docter because if they only fix like 2 things it's gonna be rough.

It will be fine, I played him a bunch and found him about on par maybe a little more reliable even, but after they fix those issues he will without a doubt be stronger.
The fact that Drey and some of the other prominent Doctor mains feel the same way is a good sign.
The big thing is dropping the cooldown after shock, and they will be- his anti pallet loop game is going to be hella strong.
