Will they consider they might have gone too far with nurse nerf.?

Nurse has been nerfed over and over and over and nobody is ever content but recently with this last nerf she is not fun as well as unplayable if you in a chase and the hunter has one good juke you look down and if he’s lost you only have one blink to find him before you have a cool down just to have one blink this is frustrating for anyone who enjoyed nurse anyone else feel this needs to be reviewed..

    Yeah I'm also unhappy with the nurse rework and nerfs mostly because she was my first killer and didnt even try the rest until she was P1

    To chain 4 blinks in a Z and then grab someone off a gen was legendary

    Survivors are still occasionally screaming for nerfs against her, so don't expect her to be (rightfully) reverted back to how she was any time soon.

    The devs know her basekit nerf was overkill, and it's obvious that they don't care. Usually after every nerf or rework they do a satisfaction survey and they didn't do one for Nurse. My second proof that they don't care about Nurse is that they are aware of her bugs that have existed since turning on servers, but they ignore them.

    As a former Nurse main, the fact that they added a cooldown on top of a cooldown that she had control over how long it lasted (fatigue) made her unfun and down right boring to play

    There are still players who can play the nurse good and believe me when I say that. I always just let out a loud groan when I'm against a good nurse, because they might be running NOED or any other toxic starter perks, and probably toxic add-ons too. At this point they should just remove the nurse to be fair.

    Okay, maybe I'm going far with that. xD

    and the same subject...The nurse is still strong and as they said yes, they still want nerf.

    If you practice with Nurse than you can discern where the Survivor went through common sense alone. Nurse is still one of the strongest Killers in the game if you get used to the nerf and practice with her regularly. Sure, she isn't easy to practice with if you're a beginner, since I can agree it isn't exactly "noob friendly", but when you "git gud" with her than you'll eventually clean house against most if not all Survivor teams, depending on how good you get with The Nurse.

    To say she's "unplayable" is an understatement of how strong she actually is, she isn't unplayable, she's just a lot more difficult to learn now.

    Bugs aside, I'm totally fine with the Nurse changes. She's still the strongest killer, still perfectly capable in the right hands, the main problem with her seems to be that she's not fun by comparison to her old self. But I know newer players who never played old Nurse who have an absolute blast playing her now, so I think it has less to do with her being objectively unfun and more to do with older players not being able to play her without wistfully comparing her to old Nurse and how much more fun she used to be, and that gets in the way of their being able to enjoy her now.

    In other words, I don't think there's anything wrong with Nurse, I think she just caters to a very niche audience now. Most newer players aren't up for the challenge that she is to learn effectively, and most older players who already have experience with her don't find her fun anymore, so the only people who play Nurse now are new players who enjoy the challenge, and old players who are still able to find her fun, which is a rather small group of people overall.

    Obviously the old Nurse was the best, even now she's fine, I'm playing with her recently because I want to know how to use her again and to get the achievements. There's only one things that bothers me, some of her add-ons are totally MEME or useless.

    I think that's what mostly deters players from her, that and the new skill cap for the most part. I guess a lot of Killers are not a fan of most of the add-on changes, since they only benefit niche builds, while the Ultra-Rare add-ons are... questionable useful.
