When will Nurse be nerfed?
Do we have an ETA?Because its the killer everyone complain the most about and this time,for good reason.
Now that we have given the killers some buffs,its time to adress the issue that Nurse has been,FOR OVER 6 YEARS and she was still not properly nerfed yet.

"Now that we have given the killers some buffs"
Wait for it to go live. Wait for it to be studied.
5 -
You don't need to wait for the killer buffs to go live to understand that nurse is in dire need of a balance change. People have been saying that she needs one for years.
40 -
Bruh,what's there to study,its been 6 years.
It doesn't take much to realize how strong she is,few hours of watching Nurse gameplay at most is enough to understand why she's busted.
4 -
People always find a subject to complain about.
Also I never mentioned anything about Nurse, I was just pinning the fact that the New Patch is not a factor in a Nurse discussion.
1 -
The new patch.
0 -
Nerf her Add-Ons, but if you die to an Add-Onless Nurse, it was a skill issue
10 -
Now by people do you mean everyone both killer and survivor mains or just survivor mains, Nurse isn't the problem survivors need to learn how to counter her and the maps is the biggest problem as a lot of them rule out a lot of killers being viable so killer mains have to go to the only couple killers that can handle the problem of maps.
2 -
She doesn't need a nerf, they need to rework her.
Eliminate her ability to ignore the chase.
12 -
The only thing that is busted about her, is that people instantly disconnect or suicide when facing her.
How do you nerf that?
12 -
So because you don't want to learn how to counter a nurse she needs a rework.
11 -
All she needs are her addons looked at. I was once a Nerf Nurse person until I.....learned how to play her....by doing that I learned how to loop her....how to escape her....how to deal with her.
The skill level to learn how to play her is equal to the skill level how to escape her.
2 -
That's pretty much goes for all killers if you play them and get a understanding on how they work its a lot easier to counter them, I had a friend that only played survivor and hated the DR but she played some matches as the DR and got a understanding how to handle him.
0 -
Her basekit doesn't need a nerf or a rework except for the M1S turned into a special attack
1 -
As soon as they nerf well coordinated swf swat teams. Not before.
5 -
Tbf it seems to be a pretty effective strategy to get killers nerfed if we look a Freddy’s current state
1 -
She probably will be at some point
0 -
This.
I'm ok with nurfing the nurse, when they find a way to nurf swf sweat teams. Or buff the other killers, so we'll not have "TIERS" anymore.
Tbh, this thing as "Killer tiers" is the concept of Unbalanced game. Which means, you can win most sweatiest teams only with certain killers.
With other killers, you're doomed to lose, no chances.
So yeah, bring up nurfes for swf, then we can talk about nurfing S-tier killers.
4 -
Yeah, its a worrying trend. Last night i watched a streamer who complained about having someone suicide on the first hook in every single match. Chat confirmed that several streamers had the same issue.
Almost like they want to scew the kill rates/get to a lower mmr that is below their actual mmr.

If the problem is survivors then list 3 VIABLE counters to her.
0 -
Leave the Nurse alone.
She is fun. Always has been.
3 -
Hide / Run / Break line of sight
You' ll learn to love lightweight on next patch ;)
3 -
It’s a common thing in a lot of games to purposely lower your rank or MMR. As to why people do it in a game where matchmaking is essentially random is beyond me though
0 -
Worst part is I'm not fed up of Nurse
I'm fed up of Ranged addon Nurse
It's just not fun or fair in the slightest
1 -
But professor, those are just countermeasures all professors keep citing, those arent the viable, 100% surefire way to always lose her in chases, finish all generators, not get hooked and escape buttdancing - countermeasures. /s
His emphasis on VIABLE measures proves yet again you cant force anyone to listen.
1 -
Alright tell us the counterplay. You people love to say to us that we need to learn how to play against her, so what’s the counter? Please don’t just say “be unpredictable.”
4 -
"bReAk lOs"
14 -
I mean they have actually buffed her. It looks like the devs are perfectly happy to have two killers that you can't lose with if you get to a point in terms of skill.
1 -
Good Nurse players dont rely on her addons to do good,just nerfing her addons wont change the fact she's the strongest killer in the game.
She needs to have her power looked at.
0 -
Her power is fine what trips people up are the addon nurses. I have escaped plenty of times from a nurse and have minor issues with it. It all depends on if they use addons like that or are a pure sweaty or GodTier Nurse. It's not hard to do when you actually know how her Blink works and interacts with the environment.
2 -
So you think if she has her range addons removed she wont be the strongest killer in the game?
0 -
after 2 genesis later.
0 -
You do realize there's a difference in "strongest" and "overpowered"... right?
3 -
She is strong and that's fine not every Killer needs to be made into trash or nuked because players don't want to learn how to deal with her
4 -
Her power is not fine. Nurse is not a DBD character, has never been. If they want to keep her that way then fine (in fact, I'm totally okay with it, it makes her very unique) but she needs some actual drawbacks to keep her in check. She's been trivializing the entire rest of the killer cast for almost six years now, it's time for an actual revision.
1 -
She does have drawbacks and quite a few actually.
5 -
Hopefully sooner than later.
3 -
I believe she actually has much more weakness than usual killer roster, just that those weakness doesn't completely negate her unlike those killers.
1 -
You do know killers are meant to be the power roles in these types of games your not playing a 1v1 your playing a 1v4 survival game, so the killer needs to at least be able to handle a 1v1 with easy and if its a 1-4 try and control it.
It's really starting to look like survivors won't be happy till they get bot killers .
1 -
She's been the strongest killer in the game since her release,she is so much stronger than the other killers to the point she is overpowered.
She is overpowered even without her range addons,her addons is not the only issue with Nurse.
Power role does not mean you have to be overpowered,its just wild to see people actually trying to justify Nurse being the strongest killer in the game for over 6 years.
Power role?Yes
Overpowered?No
0 -
Players that justify her are ones that took the time to learn her weaknesses and learned how to loop her.
Most players want her counter play to be like every other Killer....pre drop pallet and able to loop her for 3-4 gens.
1 -
The whole nerf nurse bandwagon didn't really start until recently. I rarely saw people complaining about nurse, when she was nerfed all I remember from reddit were complaints about the devs taking it too far with the power gauge.
it was a couple of months after they reenabled her that people started to complain about it (and the whole omegablink 2.0 thing). My guess is that people actually got to see what going against a competent, bugless nurse really is like.
1 -
You can't loop a nurse.
2 -
"She is overpowered even without her range addons,her addons is not the only issue with Nurse."
You never had to play nurse to say that. Can we see a video of you playing against her, by the way?
"You can't loop a nurse."
The same as above 😁
1 -
So, the basic attack cooldown reduction, does that also affect Nurse's hit off of a Blink?
Likewise, to anyone who played her on the PTB, how much does the speed boost reduction affect her?
0 -
It would just have to be that the range addons don't allow the nurse to be faster if his tp is below 20 meters 🙂
Recharge addons are absolutely not a problem. The nurse can teleport faster, but this does not prevent the survivor from putting some distance between him and her by using straight lines, for example.
The fact that a nurse slugged 4 survivors has nothing to do with her addons, it's just that the player is playing like an ######### (or that the survivors had it coming, but that's a case by case basis).
2 -
Forever Legion.
Filthy Blade + Defaced Smiley Pin.
Penti, Ruin, PR and Thana.
50% longer gens at 1 stack of Penti, 50% longer healing at 2 stacks.
Enjoy.

What's the point you don't want to listen. There is one thing communicating with people who are open to having their minds changed and it's another talking to someone who goes into something not even willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. If it's not "Nurse mains never give good counterplay/advice" it's "Nurse Mains write entire essays to defend a busted killer" there is literally no winning so tell me why anyone should try if you yourself aren't willing to listen. So please tell me why I should even bother?
2 -
Yes you can loop her there are videos on YouTube they shows it as well.

"Nurse already isn't the strongest Killer in the game anymore"
10 -
The nurse isn't affected by cooldown perks the way other killers are because her blink attacks are counted as a special ability similar to deathslinger in a way, though I don't play deathslinger enough to know if the cooldown addons work on his ranged attack hits. The only addons that affect the blink are the fatigue addons and that's about it, though the fatigue addons right now I have heard are bugged specifically the catatonic boy's treasure. (Though the fatigue addons have always been a bit awful..) So for the most part the Nurse only is getting the speed boost so I wouldn't worry about a huge strength increase unless the devs accidentally made it affect powers.
The only thing that may make it more difficult is the speed reduction on hit, but we have yet to see it in live so we will have to wait and see if it really is significant. Though to be clear, here are the reasons why it won't be too much of a big deal.
A.) Nurses don't need to break pallets or breakable walls.
B.) The cooldown reduction only is there if a Nurse walks toward a survivor and that is a big misplay or mistake on the person who gets hit in this manner.
