Nerf or removed the nurse on PC
Comments

Her being unique and having the highest potential is affecting the overall game. I stated that she doesn’t affect other killers individually, but buffing the whole killer side generally isn’t really a great idea when it also would buff Nurse even further.
just because her playrate i low (which especially in high skill play isn’t true) or that statistically she is ‚weak‘ doesn’t mean they should buff her in any way. The community always says the devs shouldn’t rely on statistics alone for balance decisions and here we have the best example of how they actually don’t do that.

Balanced gameplay is what has forced dbd into this stagnant point. The killer powers are copy paste cookie cutter crap that we have seen a dozen times. Killers like the crow lady, trickster, even slinger took no chances. This obssesion with making p0wers balanced puts game designers in a bind as unto8ched unexplored game concepts like ranged exposed killers, disguise killers, just out there designs.
In original killer design we had tombstone myers, teleporting killers like nurse, spirit invisible hunting. Are you saying were better off with current killer designs. Theres no wow factor to any of them there all orientated around the same looping crap we see every patch. How about more daring solutions to weaker killers. Go big on making there powers even stronger even if itm eans trimming back there less interesting aspects.
The game getting baseline changes isnt possible outside of some casual alternative gamodes. Pigs traps, pinhead boxes. But indivigual power reworks can be the key.

Frankly, I dont even know what you are trying to tell me here?
there is bound to be stronger and weaker killer powers and after this many killers some reused ideas and concepts are also inevitable..
also, with Spirit they have shown they can balance powers even if they are more creative/unique.

One of the OGs, plenty of guides out there, literally thousands of hours of video showing survivors of all skill level, from tater fields to competition level teams showing that she can be beat as long as you play smart. But the hell with all that, just nerf or remove her so the OP doesn't have to learn that there are multiple strategies for this game depending on which killer you face.

BHVR needs to bite the bullet and do a complete redesign and admit you made a mistake when designing her.

Yes, Nurse is very busted on PC, please send help. /s This match was like half an hour ago by the way, solo queue. Map was Temple of Purgation if that matters to you.

I don't see how you can even player her at this point. Every game I get into just ends up with suicides on hook or DCs. Seems like a very unfun situation. I guess it does make Nurse really easy now days, since your games on 3v1s.

The solution is simple.
You really believe she is OP? Show us. Take her for a spin. Play her and start winning most of your games ...
Or more realistically, get quickly stomped by good survivors who put up the work to learn how to counter a Nurse.
Learn what they do (beside clicking, laughing at you and tea-bagging you) and try to do the same.
Hint to improve : throwing a tantrum isn't the answer.

Better admit this game was fundamentally broken and make it killer vs killer instead of killer vs survivor, aka remove survivors.

Temple of Purgation isn't even a bad map for Nurse. Beside she had the range add-on (which makes that map easier) and the build isn't bad at all.
Going against 3 dead-hards and I'm assuming you are pretty skilled (looking at the sprint burst) and given the devotion I'm assuming 2.5k to 3k hours. So 1k is a good score.
Hey, I think I've versed at least 2 of the players in this list.

I could throw in so many screenshots to prove otherwise

Ive seen console nurses do just as well on console..

if i can do it...anyone can.

6 years later, then it begins?

Verified as truth. PC survivors decimate us ps4 nurses. They move in a way that makes it impossible to hit them.

Good console players are very difficult to hit as a Nurse. Between the high ping and the broken camera turns, they are more challenging than PC players. I've recorded a few games where they appear move faster than a Dead-Hard (120ms ping).
Learn to do that and you will have less problems against Nurse.

I have seen some lag but PC survivors move different. I have p3'd the nurse on two accounts and have yet to see a ps4/5 survivor vault a pallet before I blinked to the other side of it. Not all PC survivors do that either. When my mmr goes up, I see them in four man groups. They are unhittable. Often, the whole game, unless they stop and heal.

You need to stop.

If they do that, then they should limit the survivors ability to stack second chance perks :)

Is it bad that I knew exactly who made this thread without even looking?

People are like hurr durr nerf thinking something its trash after.
That's what happened with ruin after the rework until people realized its still a really strong perk.

Demands a nerf, provides zero explanation or justification. All you need to know about how moronic and troll bait this suggestion is.

She's a ######### design for a game like this. Where she is now is her nerfed state. If she gets nerfed more she's unplayable depending on what they nerf but she's not a fair killer at all. At the end of the day she can go through walls and ignore pallets so unless you put some crazy restrictions onto that it will never be fair and balanced. If you do put those restrictions onto her most won't play her. If they removed her going through almost everything she'd probably be much more fair, but as is she's just broken. They don't nerf her because her kill rate is so low due to people that don't play her or try to and give up and drag her stats down so they pretend she's not broken beyond belief.
