The last option is meant to say, "I'm indifferent / Other" but the forum wouldn't allow me to change it after it was posted erroneously.
I'm of the first option, but I also miss playing against Nurse. I've only seen five Nurses since her rework, and four of the five were bad Nurses, and two of the games were on Lery's.

Huh... I guess this is the downfall of anonymous posts. Without math skills that exceed simple arithmetic, it's not obvious to me how many people have participated in a poll, a key statistic in determining accuracy. Can any moderator here tell me how many people have voted, or is that information hidden to you as well?

I loved playing the old Nurse, I also like playing the new reworked Nurse, even tho 50% of her addons are awful, and the recharge mechanic is garbage.
I would enjoy the reworked Nurse more if blinks recharged while charging blinks.

I really enjoy playing as and against her now. It's much more enjoyable than before where either one blink covered most of the map, or she was allowed to fail again and again and again and keep trying until she lucked out.
She's still strong, she's still hard to manage when played by a strong player.
Her add ons are certainly worse overall, but she's still pretty solid without them.

I definitely prefer the Nurse as she was before. Omega blinks and 5 blinks needed to go but that cooldown simply sucks. Cooldown reduction addons are pretty much a necessity now.

I like playing against Nurse now, and I did before the nerf too. I don't like playing as Nurse now, and I didn't before the nerf either.

I couldn't pick multiple options, but I LOVED playing as and against Nurse before her nerf. Post nerf, I find her incredibly unfun to play even through my 4ks, and I feel legitimately bad going against nurses now since 49/50 times they can't catch me, since I'm used to constantly juking Nurses, now I just need to juke once and hold W while they fatigue.

I like playing against Nurse, but I don't like playing her. I wasn't here previous to her rework.

I have to completely agree.

@Peanits @MandyTalk is there a way (without recreating the post) to change this post into a non-anonymous poll just so the number of individuals who've chosen each category are shown?

Call me crazy, but I LOVE her new add-ons. They don't mess with your muscle memory too hard, and they can create an entirely different playstyle. She's challenging with them! I love to bring the addon that makes her instantly chain-blink after a fully charged blink and also brink the tremendous range increase. That crossmap potential in one blink is insane.
I don't mind her charge to the power now, oddly, but I do wish that if she didn't fully get a charge back, the charge left would be kept rather than burnt.
But overall, I like her this way. Gives survivors a bit of time to think a way away from me while I wait for my charges so I can get that chain blink if needed.

Interesting; I haven't seen anyone use those add-ons outside of when the devs tried to make the community more interested in them (the showcase was honestly a little embarrassing imo). Doesn't it mess up your ability to target survivors with your chain blink, or is it offset by the fact that you can just automatically shorten your blink by looking down? (I don't think that should be how The Nurse's blinks work in terms of balance, but my thoughts aren't shared by the developers).
If I'm being honest, I think you might have really liked some of her old add-on combos, and this is specifically the Jenner's Last Breath and Anxious Gasp combo which gave immense speed at the cost of charge time and a chain blink.
I'm not the best Nurse player, and I'm kind of blind at times, but I had fun especially with add-on combos like this (umm...ignore the NOED...I had a bad couple of matches when I recorded this last).

I loved playing Nuse until her rework came around.
Even if I disagree with the cooldown (its a funbuster at times), I learned to accept it because balance arguments in favour for it make sense. However her bugs are what really irk me. Having my blink cancelled sometimes, having my blink being undercharged by dedicated servers (even if I am playing on wired connection), my post-blink lunge being basically gamble, and then various unblinkable areas around maps (Midwich being the most recent example) .... those are all really unfuritating at times. And all of this bullcrap hasn't even being acknowledged by the developers at all in over 9 months now. Really sometimes makes me think the developers wanted to delete Nurse but without physically doing it.

With her distance + insta chain blink add-ons, it becomes more of an alt ability than a change altogether! Her addon only lets her do the instant chain blink when a blink is fully charged, and the length addon increases charge duration so you have more time until it is fully charged. This way, you can basically perform a normal blink by charging it almost to max, but not all the way. Then, it allows you to chain blink on your own will. And then, if you do actually do a full blink, while you're teleporting you can still change your camera angle and thus the direction your chain blink will go. It's actually a really fun combo!
In terms of old add-ons, I don't know why, but I felt like it would mess with my memory while taking an addon so I never really did like using them on her old self. Although, that insane 5 blink nurse was SO fun at times. Or was it 7? I can't remember anymore. Also lol I love the note about NOED, atleast you recognize it as being something to not show off lol.

The cooldown is an immense funbuster, and it doesn't even "balance" the killer (which is what I assume the devs were aiming for); all that is does is make Nurse not fun in many circumstances to play while leaving in her potential to be efficient and deadly to an absurd degree. I still haven't accepted it as a good idea because it only serves to make Nurse less fun while keeping her deadly. The only reason I believe we've seen less posts about nerf Nurse is because players just don't enjoy playing (compared to before) and not because the problems with here were fixed.
But, yes, bugs are extremely irksome, and you're not alone in feeling like the devs wanted to effectively delete the killer without actually doing so (*cough* what would have happened to Billy if he wasn't so avidly defended).
