Nurse base-kit tweaks/addon changes
So, after the rework base Nurse feels very sluggish and unsatisfying to play. Reverting base-kit would be the best solution but it probably never happens. The alternative would be making her blinks take 2.1 sec for each to recharge(compared to current 3) and make her a 4 ms killer(to make indoor maps a bit less painful).
As for addons, she has lots of meme and unnecessarily underpowered addons. Here's the list of addons changes I think would give her more variety instead of only recharge and range addons being useful:
Spasmodic breath - movement speed is increased to 4.8 ms compared to current 4.6. Currently this addon is absolute trash turning Sally into a trapless Trapper. With the speed increased by 5% she still becomes a m1 killer but with the ability to get hits where a normal killer wouldn't be able. It still wouldn't be not a great addon but at least it'll give some benefits instead of completely ruining the killer.
Anxious grasp - remains the same effect but when the survivor screams he becomes exhausted for 20 sec. Just a nice little thing that can help to deal with dead hard or any other exhaustion perk.
Matchbox - movement speed increased to 4.5 ms compared to current 4.2. As a pink addon, it should really give a huge buff even at the cost of a huge debuff. Current speed increase is just laughable and absolutely not worthy of an addon slot. With this change it would still hinder her power but also give her a huge benefit.
Torn bookmark - gives an additional blink WITHOUT any debuffs OR with slightly increased fatigue after missed hits. It's really sad that her ultra rares are currently the worst in the game and only hinder her instead of giving benefits. Third blink for a pink addon shouldn't be that op because it's ULTRA RARE.
Most of her purples are also quite questionable but I think these 4 are the ones that need to be changed the most.
Feel free to share your opinions and suggest your ideas!
P.S
She needs her bugs to be fixed ASAP.

They need to rework Nurse COMPLETELY and then work on her +blink addons (which were the only problematic ones.) They should not be able to stack with other +blink addons.
This rework was a complete mess and no offense to the balancing team but her current addons make absolutely no sense at all and I don't know how they agreed with them. I mean 2x bloodpoints in one blink category for a huge downside makes no sense. Also, some of her addons take away her power to blink but...isn't the point of playing Nurse to blink?
I'm not even gonna start with her bugs but I will say that it's funny how they fixed the bug that negatively affected the Survivors but haven't said a word about all her other bugs. I was really disappointed in BHVR with her rework and I doubt they will revert her...

Disagree on the base kit change, she is still really strong. Only basekit change nurse should get is making it to where fatigue is like legion's power stun and doesn't force your camera to the ground anymore.
Agree with buffing her bad or useless addons though
Spasmodic Breath: Good idea
Anxious Gasp: Exhaustion addons are a relic of the past that aren't gonna happen. Instead this addon should have a long aura reveal. Something like 10 or 12 seconds to make it easier to deal with line of sight blockers
Matchbox: 4.5 would be a bit much, even 4.4 would be really strong, maybe even 4.3 would be good.
Torn Bookmark: Three blink nurse should stay in the grave where it belongs. It took no skill to play and was totally unfair for survivors. This addon should totally be reworked though because its terrible.
Disagree with what you say about purple addons. Kavanagh's (more max range) is one of her best. Campbell (double blink) can be used for some really great pressure by a skilled nurse. Jenner (retracing) can get you some hits by overcharging blinks and forcing survivors to either run into you or run into your last position. Bad man (undetectable on hit) could use a minor numbers buff like 20 seconds on 40 second CD instead of 16 seconds on 60 second CD.
Also for some reason nurse has TWO addons that literally make her worse just to give her extra BP. I don't mind the brown one, but that yellow addon could have actually been something good, that addon should do something else.
edit: oh and fix the occasionally things that cant be blinked through and the bug where your blink charge just doesn't work sometimes please.
