Nurse Tierlist

In the last time I have seen several tierlists, in many of them the nurse was positioned in tier S but some of them even put her in tier B

I haven't played for a long time, just under a month, but from what I understand if you know how to use the nurse you are very strong and therefore I was wondering why this choice

    Maybe the people that put Nurse in B tier made a tier list based off of all skill levels. But even then, she’d have to be lower than that because there are so very few good Nurses which is why she has the lowest kill rate.

    I am learning her currently and she can be EXTREMLY powerfull but also extremly hard and punishing.

    But many people say she is stronger than she is because they think she simply has to blink correctly but totally forget about the fact, that survivors arent bots and and predict and dodge her easily, depending on how predictable you play. Lost of sigh is her big counter and there is tons of room for mindgames as a survivor, especially with iron will.

    Thats why you should always blink to corners where you last saw the survivors but if they know you will do this, it will be wasted too.


    Nurse is still one of the strongest and yet hardest killers in the game.

    She literally can go from F tier if you have no clue how to play her to S+++++

    She ignores everything and good nurses rarely miss so yeah if your really good she is the best killer in the game.

    However i have no idea why they put her in B tier it might have been their own personal tier list with how well he does with each killer.

    Probably because of 3 things.

    1. Survivors have probably played against the nurse hundreds of times and have successfully evaded even those who are actually really good at the killer. They know what to do and where to go since nurse doesn't offer that much in gameplay variety

    2. Nurse doesn't have an instadown ability so even if chases are short, just dead hard can extend them massively

    3. Many of the add-ons change the nurse in ways that mess with player muscle memory, making them more or less trash

    People tend to have biases based on past experiences.
