The Doctors illusions.
Okay so I'm pretty sure that its widely accepted that doctors illusions are pretty bad. they give you the information of where a survivor kinda is, but that utility doesn't really feel right in the game and on the survivor side it kinda sucks. So with the new bots for the tutorial and stuff I thought of a fun and interesting repurposing of the doctors illusions. How about instead of a clone of the doctor that just stands around looming waiting for nothing to happen, the illusions the doctor spawns is instead a survivor bot that does not help or support tasks but gives the illusion of it. For example a survivor under the doctors status affects might be working on a generator when one of his teamates comes and joins him on it. But the progress does not speed up at all. Or if a survivor is injured an illusion might appear to one of his teammates and try to get them to heal them or even start mending a real injured survivor with no actual affect. I know this sounds sortof far fetched and swfs would work against it, but I believe that some change should come to the doctors clones/illusions and this is just the idea that came to me. Not sure if anyone has posted anything like this yet so apologies if I snatched up your idea.

Now they are tinkering with AI, with the zombies, why not have an illusion give the oblivious effect and chase the survivor. Since they can't hear a terror radius they won't know if it's the real doctor or not. It spawns 32 meters from them and heads their way, therefore they don't see it spawn, they just know it has when the oblivious effect kicks in. It cannot attack and disappears when going for the attack, blinded or stunned.
Obviously they have to appear much less than now and survivors must be in madness 3. It may chase survivors off gens since they don't know if it's the real one, waste a pallet or 2 or just chase them straight into the actual killer.
Survivors may risk it being an illusion but it will be funny just running in for the hit lol
Thank you lol.
