Explanation
Bugged VFX while playing as and against Doctor.
Since Ghoul's release, the Doctor's VFX has changed. What was manageable has now become a trigger for migraines and possibly seizures. The static pulses in a different way and covers way more of the screen.
Many people, myself included, have to DC as soon as they find out it's a Doctor they're facing to avoid getting sick. The effect is very instant. I tried to stay out of chase and make myself useful before on gens so I didn't have to leave my team behind right away, but it's just simply not possible. The new VFX instantly causes issues. It's caused me migraines so bed I've been bedbound for 2 days after facing Doctor.
Many people have been unable to play against or as Doctor since April. This is a serious accessibility issue.
