Ugh, mid-rank survivors

I'm so annoyed and bored with cowardly stealth players. They're everywhere in purple ranks.

They throw offerings for Yamaoka estate, they crouch in bushes every chance they get, they all run spine chill, etc.

Boring AF.

I was rank 3 until I started playing Nurse for the first time. Red ranks were hard but fun. Of course I wasn't great so I depipped a bit. Purple ranks are so boring. Survivors are terrified of engaging; they hide constantly, the matches take forever, nobody does anything the least bit interesting.

I'm gonna camp just so I can see more than one survivor per match.

    You know the only counterplay to nurse is to hide right?

    That's what happens when the game doesn't provide its players with any information on how to actually evade the killer. All good survivors have to learn basically everything from Youtube and such which means remaining survivors have no idea what they are doing and hide most of the game, even in purple ranks. The current survivor tutorial doesn't even have a single pallet in it, that's how bad it is.

    For talentless lackwits, sure. I play red rank survivor and beat her more often than not.

    It's not that she has lack of counterplay, at all. She has great counterplay. It's that when survivors do the exact same predictable thing every time they're easy to take advantage of.

    Do something that isn't the exact same move your and every other kid saw on YouTube. Don't do the things that every killer on YouTube expects you to do.

    Just use Whispers, Stridor, etc. and those things on the side of your head you forgot about your ears. You have all the tools you need to find stealthy survivors.

    Imagine a killer complaining about Stealth of all things. This game has nerfed stealth so bad that I find it crazy you have problems finding survivors. They are just crouching in the bushes that is the easiest kind of survivor team to smash.

    Yamaoka is so bright and clean today compared to two years ago there is no problem seeing anything on that map. The only map where it's even remotely hard to see anything is the bottom level of The Game. Everywhere else is so bright it's painfully easy to see anyone trying to crouch. That includes Backwater Swamp which for some reason a lot of killers still have problems finding survivors in.

    Still think Endgame Collapse should start if the game hasn't ended in 20 minutes

    Don't have that problem a whole lot in red ranks but when you get down to the final two survivors there's times where they hop in lockers waiting for the other to die and obviously that causes a problem especially if they're not just sitting in one the whole time and they're bouncing from Locker to Locker

    This one is a legit issue. When it's down to two survivors they are going to die unless they hide and make a play for the hatch. If both of the survivors are patient and want the win bad this could go on for ages. This largely only happens in red ranks though mid-rank survivors don't do this.
