Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

Nurse vs SWF

Can we keep the same energy survivors put on nurse to SWF as well?

because I’m tired of hearing “she’s OP and needs to be nerfed/deleted from the game to help other killers get buffs”

ok but what about SWF? If we nerfed/removed SWF from the game then we can buff solo survivors.

you don’t like nurse.

we don’t like SWF.

so if you want to keep SWF the way it is, expect the same with nurse

    Nurse is a glaring design flaw that invalidates almost every mechanic of the game, but we actually just can't get rid of her.

    Same with SWF.

    Except we can actually kind of bring Solo up to a similar level, which is something we really can't do with Nurse.

    Nurse is a huge problem that keeps the game from being balanced. SWF would be fine if solo got buffed and other killers got buffed. There’s a huge difference between the two.

    I think my issue lately is... my matches today for example. I played 8 matches. 6 of them were against nurses, 2 were blights. It's just boring, and since I play solo and 4 of those nurses hit their blinks, those games were cakes for the nurses. The other 2 lost all the gens, one just slugged us all on the floor and bled us out, the other hid in the corner till we left.


    I just wish we could change our killers and the lobby would let you know if you're going against a swf. I feel like A LOT of killers, assume they'll go against comms and thus bring the best add ons for their killers. I know I would play more chill or look at my own skill level if I knew I was going against solo or swf(granted it can be obvious for SWFS)

    What world do you live in? You can’t balance Solo with SWF. SWF is strong because they can communicate fast and efficiently. Without making a bunch of perks base kit it would be boring for killers

    You can get them close enough.

    A chat wheel to convey information wouldn't run into a language problem, doesn't run into a mic problem and can be done fast. Sometimes a slight bit of info is all you need.

    But you literally can't bring the other killers closer to Nurse unless they also stopped playing Dead by Daylight.

    I never said to bring killers to nurse level. I’m saying it’s hypocritical to delete a killer but then you want to buff SWF which has become an ongoing problem for killers

    Neither are a problem inherently though. Nurse is the best-designed/balanced killer in the game. The issue with SWF is the difference with solo. Give solo a pingwheel and status indicators so they have the same info SWF does, and rebalance around everyone being SWF instead of trying to juggle solo and SWF balance. Which is exactly what BHVR is testing right now (the indicators).

    i mean sure but swf doesn't ignore all game mechanics like nurse not that i think either are bad but theyre also not comparable
