Shock therapy needs a cooldown

This is from a killer main: the new doctor is a slap in the face to Clown, freddy, hag etc

He can spam shock therapy to block pallets with zero consequences, it isn't fair, he should have 5 shocks available and then the need to reload.

He is a better Clown with also tracking and plenty of slowdown.

He should have max 5 shocks and a three seconds reload to top them up.

    Clown has similar issues and 4 bottles, freddy has 7 snares, doc needs a limited number of shocks

    freddys snares cycle, he has no cooldown hes objectively more aids

  • 1. Doc has to charge the shock then has to wait a additional second to use it.

    2. After using a shock he cant preform a attack or another shock for a very short time so theres your cooldown

    Really? So the fact it needs charging, comes with a cooldown, he's slowed while charging and can't hit right after his shock isn't enough already? Honestly, if you're still near him after 2 shocks, then you seriously need to address how you play as survivor. You're not supposed to loop the Dr. You need to make distance. Drop the pallet early. Break line of site. Hide in a locker. What more do you need??

  • Imagine calling yourself a killer main and yet you don't understand the reason most killers are bad is because of a penalty or debuff to the power...

    No I'm sorry I dont agree.

    Because doc is a killer who can spam his ability with zero consequences. Every killer has consequences but not doc.

    Anti loop, anti stealth and slowdown, his shock needs a limit, max 4 or 5.

    Have you ever played Freddy? He can do the same with literally no consequences. No slowdown, no cooldown, nothing and it's fine. We seriously don't need anymore cooldowns, they make a killer so damn boring and unfun to use (looking at you, Nurse). If you're dying to Doctors spamming shock therapy you need to learn how to play against him

  • I don't feel like everyone here grasps the game very well. Good lolz!

  • He should lose blood lust when shocking tho. Like Freddy when putting down snares.

  • Yeahhhhhh no. A good survivor can easily dodge the shocks with little effort. Just drop pallets early or just run away if he keeps shocking. The range is poor and it takes a sec to actually hit the survivor.

    Tbh I use static blast more than the shock cause the range is better and its amazing tracking.

    Shock therapy hadn't changed since it first came into existence. Only difference is both his attack and shock are rolled into a single stance.

    Besides the shock is suppose to counter people waiting to pallet drop. It counters survivors being predictable asf.

    They literally just made doc a good and fun killer to play as and here survivors are trying to ruin the killer side again. “This is from a killer main.” But your profile pic is Nancy. I’m so sure you’re a killer 😂

  • I know this post is a bit old but hey i just found it.

    Anyways i am relatively new to the game and i play killer mostly because i am really really bad at survivor. I mean so bad that a 4 year old controlling the killer can catch me. Anyways back on point.

    I do not think the Shock therapy abilility needs a cooldown for the exact reason many have already said. It slows the killer down significantly when charging. Now when i first played the doctor i would spam the heck put of it and that did me no good at all. Not only did i not hit anyone with it. I didn't hook anyone those matches. Its nearly impossible to keep up with a survivor if you spam it.

    Now about the other killers you mention. I don't think any of them are OP either. A good survivor knows how to counter every killers ability other wise i dont think they would add killer abilities survivors couldnt counter some how.

    From what im reading it feels like you are one of those people who dont want killers having nice add ons and offerings. Ive encountered survivors who think only survivors should get stuff to balance the matches in their favor.
