Small doctor buff rework
let me begin by saying i love the doc, he's currently my fav killer and i put most of my killer hours into him. That being said, he's only really effective at higher ranks if you have godlike timing or are lucky. I think the problem arises from his stance switching mechanic. Simply put the time it takes to switch stances after shocking someone as they try to vault to hit them takes almost as much time as his stun. IMO. I would suggest making treatment always active and work via the killer power button like every other killer. even if that means you have to reduce his base speed a bit, it would make the doctor able to stop vaulting and pallet drops with correct timing instead of adding and extra .5-1 sec after a shock hoping that you have quicker reflexes than the survivor as you switch stances to hit them.
while stance dancing is an interesting mechanic, the shock stacks a debuff instead of doing damage like the pigs stance, so it is more of a pain then it should be on the doc.

In all honesty he needs nerfing. All I ever see are people spamming shock and you can't do anything cause of it
that's what snap out of it is for
Yeah, they should get good. That's exactly the point. Shock spamming isn't a skill.
You can't snap out of it during a chase were you're being shock spammed. Have you played survivor before?
i have, and the easiest thing to do is juke the shocks when you hear the charge lake you would a huntress or clown
now before you reply and go oh well the shock covers more area, yeah it does, you just make hard turns
los is important to the doctor, if i cant guess where you're going after you duck behind an obstacle i have a much harder time shocking you.
A Doctor that zaps you doesn't smack you.
@OP: As a Doctor main from nearly day one: he doesn't need a buff.
thaaaaats right
If he spends all game zapping you, he isnt smacking you. either learn to get out of chases or keep in the chase for as long as he is shocking you, your teammates will thank you for wasting all of his time.
The Doctor loses a lot of time doing that, so what are you complaining about
