Nurse rework idea
Before I end up getting burned at the stake this is mostly for my own entertainment okay? I'm just bored waiting on my train.
Okay so:
Nurse now has two "modes"
She starts off as a 110 speed killer with two blinks. She can't attack directly after blinking, having to go through fatigue first (but can still grab) The second blink will make nearby survivors scream, like that strange green addon currently does.
Like Dredge and Oni, she has a slowly-charging power meter, which fills up faster after an m1 attack or causing a survivor to scream via blinking. When it's full, she temporarily becomes the version of the nurse pre-nerf that we all knew and loved. Slow, can attack after blinking, no need to wait for blinks to recharge. But downing a survivor will remove a large chunk of the remaining time. When it's drained, she returns to the original mode.

I will consent to a nurse rework only when those 2 cases are resolved:
1 map design that's actually fair for everyone
2 swf being relegated in custom matches
But since we both know that this won't happen, consider this answer as a no

Ultimately if bhvr do change her they won't ask for permission first

No.
Next.

A complete rework of the addons should be enough:
The iridescent ones should be: Bookmark and Matchbox but it should increase the speed to 110% instead of 105%. Noone use it.
The purple ones should be: "Heavy", "Ataxic", "Fragile" and "Campbell's".
The green ones should be: "Bad man's tooth", "Catatonic", "Dark cincture" and "Jenner"
The yellow ones should be: "Metal spoon", "Wooden horse", "Pocket watch", "Plaid flannel", these addons are intended for beginners
The brown ones should be: "White comb", "Anxiuos", "Dull bracelet" and "Spasmodic", these are the negative and/or the point related addons
A new yellow and a new green should be created to fill the 2 removed.
After that lso make the hit after a blink but before the fatiigue an M2.
Everyone that says nurse isn't OP is ignorante about her power OR do not want his personal toy get broken.

true, but they will be forced to deal with a lot of people angry for that change...

The principle of the nurse is precisely to have this so particular way of chase. To be able to tp through almost anything, and to have a fast style of play 😊
A nurse who spends her time charging her power while walking around how all the other killers, and tp herself in the void because she just has to fill a gauge?
Sorry, but that would just be the death of fun. Pure and simple 🙄
So of course, if BHVR creates a new killer, which has the power, features and movement pattern you're talking about, yeah, sure, no problem 😀
But please, give Sally a break... 😫

"Everyone that says nurse isn't OP is ignorante about her power OR do not want his personal toy get broken."
So I'm waiting to see a playlist of videos where we see you winning against the best teams in the game, namely 4K and max 1 gen finished 🤗
So show us that the evil nurse is OP 😏
Or show us the opposite: a series of videos where we see you and your team being literally pulverized by these famous "God Nurses" 🙂

A total rework is needed, people have been calling for this for a long time but it's always ignored. Very interested to know why when the stats are glaringly obvious for her.

Youtube is basically filled with videos showing exaclty what you want to see.

I want to see the gameplay of those who complain here 😁
Not complicated to do (although actually, it looks like it is).

Thanks for the constructive criticism. My PoV is mainly that I think bhvr will rework nurse at some point, so nurse mains (of which I'm not one) should be involved in the discussion of how to retain the parts of her power that make her unique.
Because currently nurse mains generally maintain that nurse must not be changed in any significant way, and while I respect the opinion, I don't know if it'll be viable forever.

So, basically you are saying that to complain about the nurse you must be a nurse tournament player?
This is obviously pointless, devs are not tournament players, with your assumption devs should stop taking decisions and ask the tournament level players to decide for them.
The issue with nurse btw it is not on tournament level, even a pretty high level you easily can find a lot of nurses, beating a normal nurse is hard, beating a super nurse with double range is almost impossible.
But at the end of the day, what did i expect by someone that is using nurse portrait as avatar?

I agree to discuss the speed that his range addons give when the tp is under 20m 🤗 But for the rest, the nurse is ok. And that's why I keep asking for videos.
(We are told almost every other day that the nurse is OP. Ok, well let's see it on video, with the survivor's POV. Then we can see what they really call a "Nurse OP", if it's really about her ... or if it's about their gameplay, as a survivor, which is like ... crap.)

Not exactly, no.
What I mean is that when I ask people who complain that the nurse is OP, to provide videos of them playing against the nurse ... they never respond ...
When there is nothing easier than recording a game ...
So, forgive me for saying that ... if they don't show us their gameplay ... maybe the gameplay is not that strong ... and then, it would show on the video ... 😥

MAN I AM A NURSE!
I am not talking because i got bullied by a nurse and i am crying in a dark corner of my room on the pink unicorn pillow!
I talk by the point of view of someone that is bored that 2 addons make the killer unfair!

You're missing the point completely. It's not about playing against the best teams, clearly at the top 1% balance is different; for the majority of people Nurse ruins this game which is why the player count will never go much higher.
1 -
I know what you mean; but in this case, it is not the nurse's fault, because it is not the player who controls her who chooses the Lobby 🤔

It's besides the point really, something needs to be done cause it's ruining the game for a lot of people.
