    What? You didn't expect BBQ n Chili on a high mobility killer and overcommitted to a gen when you're injured (unsafe)?


    That's what happened, you had to 1. Ran off the gen, 2. hide, then go back on it and use her audio queues and terror radius to repeat. And if you are found, you can run her, just not like most killers. Idk, this is literally the few moments where ill say you just need to learn better lol

    But the fact she can overcome all those 2nd chance perks with ease says something about her power.

    Nurse easier than Clown? What a laugh. Maybe someone who never plays Nurse like me. She has so much tracking on her hits, and her 2nd blink makes it to where she can basically not miss, unless again she's a bad Nurse.

  • I am fine with her tbh so long as nurse mains don't get fat headed about it.

    There is a reason why a lot of the major killer main streamers don't really main nurse or play her a ton; because they are good enough with her they find it boring just curb stomping everyone with nearly no counterplay.

    Anyone who puts in the time can get good at nurse; it's mostly muscle memory kind of thing. Once you get good; outside of only the most coordinated of teams that exist you'll just....win.

    I am fine with that honestly for the most part; since the number of people that good with her is still somewhat rare; so most matches are either easy or better yet actually fun games. It's worth it imo for that reason.

    Actually, one could argue that is what makes her the healthiest killer in the game, if every killer was like that the game would not be nearly as frustrating on either end....especially if it had a matchmaker that worked for those 3 categories.

    Do not complain about nurse being too strong it is an unspoken rule. SHE IS VERY HARD. Trying to learn her causes DC and depression. The skill cap on her is unimaginable you have t keep tabs on EVERYONE more than anyother killer. You dont just get free wins you have to take note of every juke they try every tactic to lose you and adapt x4. She is ultimate for a reason she isn't a spirit. Spirit is easy as hell and too strong, SHE is bad for the game. Nurse is good for the game because she gives everyone what they want a unstoppable killer that requires actual skill to use and a killer with plenty of counterplay until the nurse player is god tier which is almost nonexistent. She is fine

  • She's not that hard haha.

    I mean she has the highest skill cap in the game; but it's nothing you won't pick up fairly quick if you commit to it. I did it, I taught a friend how to do it, it's not THAT hard.

    He literally just got invited to a competitive team because they played against his nurse; it took him 3 months. Not exactly "unimaginable"

    I play on console soooooo. Yeah it is way harder on console. Pc players have the advantage and still its the dedication that is hard and 3 months learning one killer who makes you suffer is pretty draining. Hell I play huntress and suffer but at least she is satisfying and at least its not spirit who I literally won like 95 percent of every match when I actually played her with perks

    Yeah nurse is SO unfair.

    Let's just ignore the fact that in this clip it was your own fault that you went down. Let's ignore the fact that she is the most painful killer to learn and play. Gotta love when people complain because they die against a strong killer.

    Instant easy mode? You should have ran once you screamed. If anything, careless players are bad for the game.

    Nope. I'm a trapper main. Nurse is my back up :P

    Found a bias survivor main though.

    Sheโ€™s not poorly designed.

    Sheโ€™s poorly dealt with.

    Survivors donโ€™t respect that they need to play extra cautious and extra stealthy against her. I.e. avoid chases to begin with.

  • Your right Nurse is the problem with game, she should be deleted immediately /s

    Just because you gotten beaten by a Nurse wether you went up against a good or bad one doesnโ€™t mean sheโ€™s the easy to play.


    If you believe sheโ€™s so bad then how about you play Nurse.


    She takes a lot of work to learn and sheโ€™s not unga bunga like how Doctor and Bubba is. Also if she was so easy then you would see a lot of Nurse players left and right none stop.


    You need to get good at the game and learn Nurse first before you go on ahead and embarrass yourself on the forums.

    I love playing survivor against the nurse. You can have a great stealth game against her. Iโ€™ve also seen a nurse take down 4 survivors in under 2 minutes. If sheโ€™s played right itโ€™s definitely a lot of fun for all parties.

    Nurse Insta easy mode? I'm sorry what? Swap the title for spirit and I would agree with you but nurse?

    She's one of the hardest killers to learn and although she is very strong, she does not get free wins unlike a lot of other killers in this game. Only time a nurse gets free wins is when they run slowdown perks, which is definitely over the top considering ur playing nurse, but often ruin undying nurses and such are actually garbage at her and rely on the perks to win.

    So....you never ran when Infectious Fright went off...? What's the post here supposed to mean at this point if we're pointing your mistake here,

  • Verconissp
    Verconissp Member Posts: 1,589

    I'ma just say that. Nurse is a "UNFORGIVEN" killer to play if you don't understand how she plays. i think you should face a good swf with no perks / addons Nurse and lets see if you can really 4k that and call Nurse "Ez" Or not. =D

    I'm not seeing the problem with the clip. What's worth noting?

    Learn to play her and you'll realize she's not as broken as you think. Prior with the old addons before the addon pass absolutely but she's fine now.

    I'll give you one thing though to understand how to deal with Nurse you need to actually know how to play her and how she works. Once you get that though she's easy to read unless you end up running into an open field somehow.

    Dude it was obivous she will come to you and you kept sitting on a gen. You are not running a healing perk nor a medkit. You played poorly there, it's not on the killer.

    With or without Infectious Fright it was completely obvious that the Nurse would go straight to that generator from that hook placement - always expect BBQ on a Nurse because it's so damn good on her. You were one hit because you were injured so a pretty easy target for her, as you didn't seem to be completely map aware.

    I don't agree that the Nurse is a purely designed killer, I think she's an incredible design and yes whilst the mechanics do entirely circumvent the base mechanics of the game, she does have outplay and she's pretty difficult to learn - there's a reason why she's considered the strongest killer in the game.

    Your clip only proves that you're just not very good at the game my dude. Any person with a brain would have known better than to keep repairing injured at blink distance after infectious fright...it's only easy mode if your opponent hands you a hook on a silver plate.

    Any skill-based Killer that can't be beaten from my loops. Big sad

    this is not the killer being op, this is the survivor greeding a gen. I get that nurse can be unfun to face but you can't just go full autopilot and then get upset that you got punished

    Go and play her good yourself against survivors who know what they are doing, then you can complain about her. She is killer with the lowest kill ratio and for good reason! It really takes skill to be decent with her... hell she was nerfed super hard already, leave her be.

    When it comes to high level play... Nurse is incredibly poorly designed. I've never seen anyone above 2/3000 hours defend Nurse's ability to outright remove game mechanics. The devs THEMSELVES acknowledge this, but justify it by progressively making her harder to learn.

    I think a half decent nurse is fun to play against but when they are a literal god of prediction and timing its not very enjoyable.

    I don't want to hear anything about Nurse being bad for the game, with Spirit in her current state.

    It's almost like characters designed to bypass pre-established mechanics without adding any new replacement mechanics are bad for game health. Devs really should have known that.

    Spirit is worse because anyone with a headset can excel with her even against good players, at least Nurse takes time and effort to learn...

    Meta perks: Check

    Lazyness/neglagence to react to the killer in a decent timeframe: Check

    Injured working on gens: Check

    Killer knows exactly where you are and you don't react to it: Check

    Well if someone is a GOD with Nurse, doesnt the Player deserves a win?


    Nurse (if the player is god tier) and Spirit are the most hated Killers, because Survivors cant make a bbq party in front of them while the killers are sweating for their lives. Survivors actually need to play the Game and not only sit at gens and klick a Button every 10 seconds.


    So from my perspective as a main Killer, many things on the survivors side are unfair too, like: Decisive Strike. Its a free win if 4 people got this perk. Or the "I got unhooked and still can take 2 Hits hihihi -Perk" with the glorious 500 ps Dodge Challenger under their Backpacks and looping all day long till next x-mas.


    You guys should rly dont get mad if you lose some matches. The Game is in favour of Survivors and you can say what you want but without your Top Tier perks you have to be careful how to play against killers. But this isnt what survivors want, so killers get nerfed to the ground so all those good equipped Survivors can have a good time - just like in horror movies ofc ๐Ÿ˜‰


    No Survivor respects a killer and i guess this wont change in the future.


    The killer community will sooner or later die because who tf wants to get bullied every match? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Well have fun waiting like 5-10 minutes for a match.
