I haven't seen any other killers besides Nurse and Blight since 2 days straight.

I'm strictly a Solo Q player and I've encountered solely these two 2 killers since the last couple of days, it's downright absurd. I've lost many games in particular to sweaty Nurses who know how to abuse their broken killer and yet my MMR won't lower enough to match me up with other killers.

The experience is absolutely awful, I'm unironically bringing perks like Last Survivor and Left Behind now just to gamble on making it out during endgame. Teammates are behaving like you'd expect, there's no competent help to be found. You're quite literally on your own.

    Thats quite interesting. As a solo Q player who plays against a lot of tournament players in pubs, even I don’t get Nurse and Blight exclusively, much less for multiple days in a row.

    Sounds about right with Solo Q, maybe it’s an issue with MMR if they don’t belong against these killers, why would they be paired with you?

    People are probably playing more Blight because he's the current tome killer and are cleaning up the tome challenges.

    As far as Nurse goes, my guess is killers are trying to enjoy her before she gets gutted, since every time the forums hyperfixate on complaining about one killer in particular they get nerfed into the floor. This pattern has been seen with Deathslinger, Billy (a bit of an outlier since the main complaints were the charge speed addons yet BHVR gutted him completely), Spirit, Freddy, Pig, Bubba's masks, and even friggin' Wraith of all killers during the brief period where his power was actually pretty alright at pallets, all directly preceded by bandwagon complaining. If I cared about playing Nurse, I'd be getting rounds in too before the inevitable.

    Nurse has been the focus of complaints since YEARS, I don't think they're actually worried about any potential changes. BHVR seems to flatout neglect any critique when it comes to this busted killer just because absolute newcomers seem to lower her killrate once they give her a shot.

    I'm more than convinced that her personal killrate currently is the highest ever recorded in the history of DbD due to the influx of tired survivors who simply give up onhook or outright dc now.

    Sure you haven't. We totally believe you.

    Seeing blights almost every game is understandable, since this tome is about him.

    Solo q player here too. I see mostly nurse and blight too. More nurse than blight though. Seems like people only want ez mode even after the recent killer buffs. Nurse should be nerfed.

    Well see, there's a really simple solution. It's called buff solo queue's information levels up to the level of SWF, so that the game can be balanced around all survivors being SWF. SWF doesn't inherently mean good teamwork, it only means ability to share info. Which an info level buff would achieve. Then killer doesn't need to juggle balance for solo and SWF anymore either. Then buff all weaker killers as needed to match the new level, and voila, you now have a lot more killers who are appealing to play because they can also keep up just fine and dandy.

    Me and my friend have played against like five killers non stop for the past few days, nemesis, nurse, plague, Oni and blight, we get different killers but it’s very rarely only happens once or twice that we get a different killer besides those five.

    Pray tell how does one abuses Nurse?
