Does anyone play nurses games anymore?
Seems like no one wants to play nurses games anymore. First person downed immediately dc's and everyone else kill themselves on a first hook or dc's too.
I actually like playing againts nurse and it kinda makes me sad. Some of the most memorable games in dbd was againts nurses. Yeah, you'll lose 90% of games, but miss those epic games and moments when someone manages to juke good nurse for few minutes and help team complete last gens.

DCing/hook suiciding is not unique to Nurse. I’ve seen it happen with every killer and very often. I’ve seen it happen against Wraith more than Nurse. Usually, people stick it out with Nurse as long as she didn’t throw in a Midwich offering.

I havent had a fun nurse game yet. But I only played for 4 years so maybe one day

You can have a fun game againts Nurse if:
- The player is not good with her and makes some mistakes, allowing for Survivors to have extra time in chase and allow them to outplay / mindgame the Nurse sometimes.
- They don't tunnel
- They don't run the most sweaty build with best add-ons
- They don't send you to great map (like Midwhich example)
Then she can be okay I quess. If you are facing a good Nurse you are dead from the start and it's not even fun.

Considering that you see the same 3-4 Slowdown-Perks and the same 2 Add Ons (Mangled and increased Lunge-Range) on almost all Nurses, I cannot really blame people who give up against her.
It is bonkers that she is still in the game like this, she is a design failure. And yet she has access to all this Slowdown like any other Killer. (And she still has access to Mangled, because someone thought it was smart to give her an Mangled-Add On after removing her synergy with Sloppy Butcher...)
Considering that the Nurses who run Shadowborn will also have a Perk-Slot freed in a few days it will not really become better.

Nurse is boring to go against. You will stomp them if they are new. Or opposite. This killer is offering zero fun. So it's understandable why people are giving against her and SM. Boring killers.

I think Nurse is fun to go against, if she isn't a god-tier Nurse that downs you faster than you can... blink.

The other day I went against Nurse for the first time in a while, and it was fun even though she was strong and she hit her blinks well.
I understand she can be OP but I feel like there’s nothing wrong with having one OP killer in the game.

I enjoy facing her. Most players are catastrophically bad at facing Nurse though and think doubling back at a corner is a thing that works against a good Nurse. Or they vault, take drop downs, or other things that will never, ever work against a Nurse.

she's not fun if she's too good the round is just boring and predictable

nah, i also just die on first hook and go next. nurse games are so boring as survivor.

I enjoy playing her and I like to up against her. Well only if the player doesn't tunnel or facecamps but trying to juke a nurse is somewhat refreshing after running around loops for hours.

I can completely understand why people opt out of Nurse games. She has this weird case of being the absolute strongest killer who really doesn't need much besides practice to steamroll survivors, but at the same time, she's the most likely killer to be played like an absolute sweatlord.
I don't remember the last time I played against a Nurse who didn't hard tunnel out the first person they hooked, because it's just so fast to do so on her. Even if you play decently and survive a while against her, your reward for sticking with the match is 4 mins spent laying on the ground waiting for her to trudge around the map looking for the survivor who's crouched in the corner waiting for you to die, because god forbid she save us all the boring wasted time if it costs her 1000 bloodpoints.

It depends really for me , I used to main nurse so I feel like I can kind of stay a step ahead sometimes, but then there's other times where you run into supaAlf or someone who's really adept with nurse and then it really falls to whether I'm solo or in a squad, solo I'd probably not have a great time but a squad it's always more fun with friends and you can sometimes win those games if you don't give up

If the nurse makes predictions so mindgames are possible, sure, on occasion. Safe blink playstyle is viable with no counterplay other than abusing blink deadzones and shift W and it is very common (and boring) to see. And the times you basically do 50/50s behind a wall and hope the nurse messes up are not nearly fun or engaging enough to make up for the fact that she ignores every other game mechanic there is

I'm mostly playing killer and don't think i get to crazy killers if i'm ever playing survivor, but i really like playing against nurses.
I won't win most of the times but it's very different regarding mindgames against her and therefore very fun to me to play

You do not juke a good Nurse for a few minutes. A good Nurse will end her chases in 30 seconds at the very max. There is not much room for juking.

I have fun anticipating where the nurse going to be but it get dull fast when they using a full aura reading build.
