Could Blight be a better killer than Nurse?

Footnote: I can't play either of them well but I want to start.

    Blight is still bound by his environment, whereas Nurse completely ignores it.

    No.

    Blight doesn't ignore game mechanics like Nurse does. Nurse (unless they change her) is always going to be the best killer in the game.

    Mindgaming or juking a good Nurse is like landing a 360 against a good M1 killer. Might happen once every (long) while, but its nothing you can rely on.

    I'd say on huge maps like Mother's Dwelling and Shelter Woods, Blight is better. On indoor maps he also suffers less because he can still chase being 115%. On everything else Nurse is better.

    1. Nurse

    2. Spirit

    3. Blight

    or

    1. Nurse

    2. Alchemist Ring Blight

    3. Spirit


    So no, even his strongest Add-on can't compete with Nurse. She ignores everything while Blight doesn't. AR Blight comes close to Nurse but not higher than her.

    Without add-ons, Blight is better than Nurse. Against competent survivors, that is.

    Give Oni power from the start. Then he will be the best.

    On console, Blight beats nurse, I can say that much for certain.

    Blight can get around the map better but that's about it. In every other category nurse is leagues better.

    Nurse ignores walls, pallets, and loops in general. Blight still has to respect these things, so no. Blight can't be better than Nurse unless they physically gave Nurse a brand new power that just happened to be weaker then his.

    I won't repeat the power difference since it's already been said.

    But power and strengh aside, the biggest difference between the two is that as blight, the survivor need to read your move just like any m1 killer, while as nurse, it's you that need to read them so the logic is flipped. Basicaly, if you have a good grasp on player mentality, playstyle and can confidently predict what they will do in certain situation, nurse should be quite easy once you get use to the blink distance.

    Blights biggest problem is uturns sure he can run anyone down but any map with plenty or curves and walls and hes weak due to his power being under utilized as well as dropped pallets and low walls. If he could have the mobility that legion has while running then sure he could be up there with nurse

    No. Nurse is and probably always will be the best killer in the game. Blight comes close to being as good as her but he can still be looped very badly by good survivors.

    No chance but you can make an argument for Spirit being at Nurse level on console.

    No. Nurse ignores walls. While imo Blight is stronger than Spirit which puts him in the no 2 spot imo he isnt the no 1 because Nurse just says ######### you to walls. Looping a nurse more or less is making the nurse take as many guesses as you can and then praying they guess wrong.
