Why do survivors constantly have Freddy/Spirit in their gunsights but not Doctor?

I was thinking of taking up doctor, and looked up that kill/pick chart from this fall. I assumed (based on lack of forum discussion about him) that he was mid or low tier.

Very surprised to see that in red ranks, he is SECOND in kills- two ahead of Spirit. At all ranks, he's 4th!

Why are survivors more irritated about Freddy and Spirit than this guy? Just seems strange when he's obviously on the same power tier.

EDIT: Same comment applies to pig, she is right at the top of the charts around Freddy/Spirit too.

  • Doc is a pubstomper. He's extremely rough to play against for anyone who doesn't know the right way to counter him, and he has a fairly simple to use power. Grab and go for new killers, overwhelming for new survivors. By the time you've gotten to survivors who do know how to play against him, you've probably racked up enough kills to more than make up for the losses.

  • because doctor is weaker than freddy and spirit, by miles

    Because he has counters. You can play against his attacks. There are things you can do to make his power less effective and ways to spread out to still win.
