I saw one Doctor within 140 (!) matches in red ranks. Now there will be 0.
I really enjoy playing as Doctor. I thought he needed a slight buff instead. He is not this rare because he is "unfun" to play against, he is too weak for high rank gameplays.
The cooldown on swings is 3s after using his zap, that's longer than the time it took to switch from treatment to punishment (1s). The timer on the inability to vault/drop is 2.5s. Do the math
I think that's the reason the devs have purposefully delayed the shock hitting the survivor (when they scream) so it's a second nerf following the first one ..
See, the issue there is even with the 1s delay there's only a .5s window for the Doc to hit the surv, which is pretty much worthless because pallet drops beats out swings so unless the doc is right on top of the surv the hit won't register before the pallet drop.
The 1 second delay on the shocks effect after shock therapy has been a thing you know. As of right now it gives Doc time to switch back, and gives him almost the full 2.5 seconds to get the hit in before they can drop the pallet. Now it's half a second, so like @Lucama said you're not gonna be able to get that hit anymore unless you're right on top of them. It should at least be reduced to 2 seconds imo as it would take 1 second to switch stance and 1 second to switch back. They probably won't though considering Doc is a killer after all lol
The cooldown for his swing is actually enough to hit a survivor because they still won’t be able to use pallets or vaults if you shock them. The devs also said they are going to make the timer shorter.
I think you should do the math or do actual research because it’s confirmed that your 3 seconds delay is enough to hit a survivor while they are shock. I don’t know where you got that information that it was ”2.5” seconds from.
The 2.5 seconds he's talking about is the shock debuff that survivors get, his math is right. The way it works is you shock, it takes 1 second to register like always, and then survivors can't interact for 2.5 seconds, for a total of 3.5 seconds from shock to end of debuff. Doc however is unable to do anything for 3 seconds, which means there's half a second to get the hit in. And if they're at a pallet your lunge is not going to beat the throw. But hopefully they're going to change the 3s delay to something a bit more lenient.
I know you didn't complain about it, but these have multiple issues to them imo
Using infantry belt with iri head is really broken imo, as you could miss the first hatchet for the one hit and get 2 more to hit them with, which really doesn't punish you for missing with iri head
Insta-saw billy has some major issues, being that it ends the chase really quick compared to M1 killers.
I totally get what you mean. Dont get me wrong, I understand your opinion. :)
In my opinion there is aa decent chance to escape against both killers with those addons. But I can totally understand when people say its not funny to verse such killers. I think there should be some very very strong addons in the game. The killer should be able to be the power role in a match and with such addons they will mostly be this role (except they really suck :D)
Wrong because before the doctor shock the survivor there will be a delay to when the shock actually hits the survivor. Thus giving the killer enough timer to get out of his stun timer and being capable of hitting the survivor.
Insta Saw Billy is extremely strong on any Billy who knows what they're doing, and BL is a bad game mechanic that was used to bandaid fix loops from 2017 that for a good majority don't really exist anymore.

What will the next "frustrating" thing be? That killers can break Pallets??
They will find enough things to complain about.
I have already seen those complaints...no joke

Only 2 things on that list are an issue
-Instasaw Billy
-One shot huntress
The "instasaw" still takes awhile to charge and is tough to land. It's probably the fairest thing out there
This post did not age well, he's actually better.
I did not complain about it. I dont think any of these things are an issue.

Let's nerf hag
Traps will be reduced to 5
You can only place them every 30 second
You can only teleport to the ones in your terror radius
See?
She is much more fun for low rank survivors!

Trapper should be next, nerf his traps, and they should automatically disarm after 30 seconds and he should only get 4 😂

People complain that he takes away stealth. There is nothing wrong with doctor. People just complain about anything.
Lol I realized
