Doctor and unhooking?

I thought I'd read somewhere, maybe in patch notes, that doctors' shocks didn't stop you from unhooking anymore? I don't often play against him or as him, but I was totally unable to unhook because of constant shocks. Is there a way around this? Did I not read that?

It seems really silly not being able to unhook in a game that requires you to unhook.

    You cant unhook if he shocks, but the delay between shocks should be long enough to be able to save inbetween them

    I figured. He must be using addons to reduce the time it takes to shock again. They need to look at that.

    He takes 1 second to charge and cant do another shock for another 1.5 seconds, then needs to charge again for 1 second. That means he's shocking roughly every 3.5 which has a delay of .75 seconds (.45 seconds with double discipline). You are stunned for 2.5 seconds, but unhooking it self takes 1 second. 3.5 seconds total between unhook attempts, identical to how much he can shock but he still has that detonation delay, meaning you should have that small window where the unhook should go through as long as youre timing it correctly

    That's the thing, even with those addons, you cant do this. If you started an unhook, get shocked, then you should be able to complete the next unhook.

    There might be some interaction with Iridescent Queen that's bugged around hooked survivors, but that would need confirmation

    I think you will unhook even in that 2,5 seconds window when survivor cant do many or most actions, only reason why he can disrupt unhook is because he makes you scream which even ceratin perks make this action unable to do like when survivor is incapacitated by his shock for 2,5 seconds you can still work on gates I believe and same with unhooking its just the scream thing from shock not the incapacitated effect.

    Patch 8.7.0

    • Nerf: added a cooldown to interrupting Unhooks with Shock Therapy repeatedly.

    It should be fixed by some time now.

    there is a built in feature that only allows the doctor to deny your unhook twice before you can do it. i'm not sure if it's a timing thing or what but he can't deny it three times. after that he has to hit you to stop it, then it's a trade instead of a denial.
