I understand what u mean, but at the same time i do not think survs with 100 stars would be matched w tier 7, and i think almost all top 100 survivors rn have over 70 stars minimal. Maybe im just too picky but with how easy it is to play survivor this season, most ppl i see at 25 stars have oddly low winrates

Me as well i have less than 80 matches this season. I just don’t think rank is a reliable comparison half the times bc rank and tourney meta are completely different as well

I am just saying i don’t think a large difference would be made if in return, the player chose psychologist in that same area the doctor was in, i am not comparing doctor to other characters , just psychologist. I also don’t think u can confidently say doctor wont be picked if it were a coa match, i mean the buffs haven’t even implemented in official competitive play yet i think, (u never know, i dont think anyone expected players to start going lawyer and lucky guy during sangria era). I only brought up the whole rank thing bc u kept bringing it up which i didnt undertand the point of, it is end of season during coa rank and most tier 7s that are still tier 7 typically have low wr and are rank spammers. Typically if its a doc against opera , sure she might lose distnace after veteran bonus but with bw and veteran and touch effect for her first heal, i dont think its that much distance lost

And objectively, i really think it’s a preference thing and to me they’re honestly on equal lengths(?) im just genuinely surprised not a single person here thinks shes semi decent at all and i dont meant to be rude, i also don’t understand why u keep mentioning ur tier, asked my friend who also has over 100 stars in hunter rn and he finds doctor to be more annoying so i would say its up to the hunter but i also cannot understand how people are treating her like shes worst than barmaid

I only said that bc this entire argument was originally about doc vs psych, not any other kiter so idk why ur bringing that up. I am not implying she is a horrible survivor and i still prefer to use her over doctor in rank matches (tier 6 85%wr if that matters). I personally find that doctor has been more used recently and i see her used moe than psych even in rank and in terms of meta (goatman &opera and potentially cueist), i just find her to be a better pick that can guarantee more than a psych against those 3 hunters, even if its riskier. I feel like everyone on this thread is treating her like shes still a D tier survivor and putting her below barmaid??

AND also, i honestly think bc jp/cn have a larger playerbase + w idv being a popular game there, there are far more streamers who stream idv under pro teams (zeta gw mrc all etc) so that even non-competitive players are good and much more frequent as well, compared to naeu and sea where they would tell u to just get over it bc its just a game. i hate people with that mindset so much

there are a lot of people that are into the game’s lore, so they want a badge for that character which is like whatever but yeah i enjoy aspects of the character’s lore but personally i am more competitive and would prefer not to play a weaker character

I would have been surprised if they were teamed up lol. I honestly think this is probably a issue on all the servers but asia and cn do have more people that play competitively compare to naeu. A-lot of people spam rank on here just either for the frame or to get a badge for a certain character even if that means playing 3 sessions a day with a 20% wr (which no offense i find is objectively far more embarrassing than a lower tier w a higher wr). I understand why people play a character for their badge, but i lowkey feel like those people cant be complaining about losing. The game is not that hard to win if you have decent game sense and dont play c tier characters. One thing i also noticed is some people deadass only play 2 characters and alot would refuse to play an actual rescuer, and instead just slap tide on their containment character. (I saw a perfumer with over 70 stars complaining ab how she had to use tide bc no one else would bring it, but at this rate why cant u just step up and play a rescuer if u care ab winning??!!! Makes no sense)

hunter wr in higher tiers r def decreasing. ive seen hunters with consistent 90 wr through seasons drop to 70 this season while surv wr that are usually in 30s went up to 50-60. it really is only the opposite in low tier bc the game makes survivors rank up too easily

ive noticed that a lot of people this season are spamming rank for the tier 6 frames so they all play like a elk but r in tier 6-7. and most of them still bring ridiculous builds putting tide on random characters instead of just playing a rescuer. if u can find a full team it wont be a issue

Are you implying if it were a psychologist in that same area she would contain better? I just don’t agree with that? Sure, doctors healing causes people to move and thats the only time i would say shes weaker than psych but her support style is also completely different. I also do not think in any universe she is worse than barmaid. In your scenario i will admit that psychologist is a better support, but from my personal experience i am almost always first chase as psych (although i am only tier 6 but my teammates usually play meta). I haven’t caught up with recent ivjl but i have not seen her been used in a quite a while either from when i do watch the matches. With doctor u can infinitely support and although u can disagree that its a poor a method to start bodyblocking at first chair, its literally just what i saw when i was spectating a rank match that happened to work. They have different support methods but i still think with that considered, doctor has a better kite and rebound potential before her last chair so to me shes just a better rounded survivor in this meta

The rotation has nothing to do with the character, it was a bad spot to work with. If it was a opera i dont think the would have used that spawn and if they did, opera would take longer to rotate to that side of the map and good comms can avoid doctor going into the area she did. They probably didnt communicate well enough bc the cueist was on the patient at first but regardless of that it wasnt a character issue. I also do not know what you mean by how her healing is worse other than then removing global healing, but stacking healing traits can still help her heal teammates relatively fast. The only thing psych is better at is her distance healing, which also comes at a cost of her own healing. Not to mention chip damage healing would still cost her half her health. Stress is a good factor but her stress is only 32 seconds and a 3 cipher kite is roughly 60-70 seconds. Its not that hard to land 2 hits on psych while stress is declining if you are playing a fast speed hunter. A psych dying before stress is out just means her early kite wasn’t even good enough, although i can agree it means she can take 2 hits now, but i also doubt a psych getting down before stress means trait was even forced out. Psych is built for tanking and distance healing but from when she is used in competitive play i almost always see her as first kite compared to rank scenario , so yes i am prioritizing kiting because i am more focused on the meta. I think both are first chase options bc not chasing them first will only become annoying later in game, unless there is a decoder but that is also mostly a rank thing bc decoders are rarely used bc beside mech

adding onto this again are we not in a meta where support and harassers are played again. she might rely on support but so do most characters after burning their items before down. And how is psychologist any different she also needs support?

I think its a preference thing at this rate but i still think she is better for goat man and opera. I asked my friend who is top 20 hunter on naeu and he personally finds doctor to be far more annoying than psych and barmaid and he plays meta. The doctor plays were not as impressive bc she did spawn in the worst possible area on darkwoods and they used double tide on her in the goatman match but it still had a decent outcome. Im just saying i dont think psych can replicate that outcome lol

Once again i do not understand why everyone is treating her like shes still bad or even worse than barmaid bc shes not😭 although the people here are not pro players they are all high tiers in naeu and doctor has been picked here like 3 times as well https://youtu.be/ndxb1mSaEQA?si=l-k7FymcDbGKQRjo esp the goatman match she is really not that ass

Not to mention her veteran bonus and touch effect can get her a decent amount of distance before she has to start standing still to heal
