Question for you all
Do you think nurse should exist in the current state of the game
I don’t thinks so personally. Having a killer that completely ignores everything survivors have seems pretty unhealthy to me.
sure you could argue she takes skill and I agree but does that make her obscene strength ok?

I quote myself from a different topic:
"When it comes to Nurse, you cannot nerf her to be on par with other Killers. Her Kit is designed to be broken, to bring her down, you would need to completely destroy her and alter her values in a way that she is weak.
You could only achieve a somewhat similar power level by giving her a complete Rework. This means that you would need to buff her Movement Speed to at least 4.4 m/s (but probably 4.6 m/s would be needed) and remove her ability to blink through Objects. Meaning that a Nurse would still be able to use Blinks (if you want to keep this part of her Kit), but will not be possible to ignore Windows or Pallets and will not be possible to blink through Walls. So that she can use the Blinks to catch up, but not to ignore all the stuff in her way.
And I dont think that this is something that should be done. It would probably be the healthiest thing to do because Nurse will always be a problem for Balance. And she is in fact a design failure which would not go into the game anymore, but 2016 a lot of things were possible.
However, Nurse is in the game for so long and I feel it would be wrong to alter her Kit in such a significant way. The only thing that helps with her current kit is that she is
a) hard to learn and
b) not needed to win games
Back then you basically had to be good with Nurse to have consistent wins, now you can do that with every Killer. And when you want to have a Killer on a somewhat similar Power Level, there is Spirit."
The healthiest thing would be to remove her or rework her in a way that she does not need her Blinks to down Survivors by buffing her Speed and removing the ability to blink through Objects. However, I dont think that this would be the best move, since it would be a pretty severe rework of one of the most unique characters in the game.

She is no more "broken" than Freddy, spirit, or billy and requires significantly more skill to play than those mentioned. These days you rarely even see nurses anymore because someone can achieve the same level of mind games and pressure on spirit or freddy with doing half of the work in learning to play her.

Nurse is fine.

She´s just a high tier Killer and arguably weaker than spirit when factoring in the best addons. She also doesn´t ignore everything, just pallets and windos, but she still can be juked.
Old Nurse was OP 100% but she´s far from this state now, so I´d say she´s fine.

In the current dbd, no, she shouldn't exist. The game has evolved to where killers have a much better time than they did when Nurse was released. The game just needs a little bit more work, such as taking away DS's abusive factor, and removing unbreakable walls (they should just leave it open) and making survivors teleport when first hooked to discourage early camping.
I don't think she should be removed though, shes apart of this game and many players have put in too much effort and time into learning her. Devs should honor the Nurse mains and fix her bugs at least.
I just hope they don't make the mistake of making another killer at her level. Solo survivor is painful enough with hook tunneling Spirits and camping/slugging gremlin twins (another killer who shouldn't have been released).

She has the lowest kill rate on red ranks. So she might actually need a buff.

Anything strong for the killers shouldn't exist in the game.
She's fine and only thing she needs to get fixed is her bugs which is advantageous. Looking up while fatigue and lunge cancelling fatigue is bs.

Her obscene strength is obscenely difficult to take advantage of at the highest level, so I think it's fine.
Plus, though she can ignore pallets, windows, walls, and.. well, damn near everything else in a chase, I wouldn't say she's as oppressive as Freddy or Spirit. You can still get in her head and juke her.

Complaining about Nurse in damn near 2021.

I do, it's freaking exciting to play against a good nurse and it's nice to have a killer that allows for so much skill expression. I sometimes get demolished by one with thousands of hours, but the same could be said about a player that dedicated so many hours on any killer.
On a side note, ######### spirit.

I don't mind her actually unless they pull a 4 man slug with no gens done because it's boring and not really a 'game' at that point, but that's not exclusive to her. I have adapted to her usual play style and when you get it down she's not the worst to go against! My advice is learning mind games with pallets and vaults, or using perks to counter her (for example: most nurses need a hex of some kind to pressure maps, so soul guard or unbreakable would be good!) I also think from her perspective a lot, like her FOV during a blink and where she thinks I will heal myself and others to properly be one step ahead-- or behind lol!
