Can we talk about nurse (my fix)
How many games have you played where a character just goes straight through walls without a care in the world? That only happens when you activate god mode in games.
Now imagine not only being able to go through walls once, but twice. Yes—TWICE. This killer is a free-pass cheat code.
Now, because I feel bad for the good Nurse players—of which there are only a few—I’m not going to ask for a complete removal. But I do have a quick fix that would stop bad Nurse players from getting free wins, while also rewarding the good ones more fairly.
Bad Nurse players always, and I mean ALWAYS, rely on two blinks. The number of times these players misuse the first blink—only to avoid being punished because they still have a second blink with nearly the same range, resulting in free hits and quick 4Ks—is just absurd.
Good Nurse players? You guessed it—they only need one blink. They read survivor movement well enough to land hits with just one blink, only using two blinks for map traversal, not chasing.
So here’s the idea: give the Nurse only one blink but reduce its cooldown. This way, bad Nurse players will quickly realize they're not actually good at playing her and will switch killers (or quit, since she’s probably the only way they can get a win in this game) and survivors will get a fair chance against most nurses in average. Meanwhile, good Nurse players won’t be affected negatively for this nerf—in fact, they’ll get more respect because this is how they have been playing already.

The actual change she needs is for aura reading to not work when she uses her power.

just make her suffer from Blindness status effect while charging her blink and she's gonna be in a perfect spot.

She definitely needs nerfs.
Aura reading wont change this killer at the high end. We nurse mains dont need aura reading to still have a completely broken killer.
It wouldnt really matter if you had aura reading during blink you dont use it that way anyways at the higher end.
I dont get a fast down at the start of the game because of aura reading during power. I get it because shes fundamentally broken with little cooldown and too much distance.
1 Blink wouldnt really fix anything either. It would just make her inaccessible to anyone, her learning curve is already too difficult for the majority of the killer base that plays this game. (based on low kill rates at average mmr 3 times in a row). So your whole thing on "bad nurse players" would just turn into "badder nurse players"…
Since you think only good nurse players need only one blink, which they definitely dont, you need 2. Heres some research material before making claims like this:

His first hit is 2 blinks. You can watch where your 1 blink theory applies and it really is only on guarenteed close blink hits. Its 2 everywhere else.
This is the best nurse player in the world for DBD currently. So please stop spreading this nonsense on "need only one blink"-4 -

at the high end aura perks on both sides are banned, aura perks are significantly lowering skill ceiling on the killer on their own + screw stealthing aspect up and that makes them unhealthy on Nurse.

Good survivors stealth at early game when playing against Nurse and they don't give their scratch marks away in order to completely minimize her chances of having a secured hit at beginning. Lethal Pursuer goes around this.
Go scrim a bit and watch how good players behave against your Nurse and you will get true insight into Nurse counterplay. People in pubs have very bad macro knowledge :)

Nurse on Midwich is kinda yikes, but whole teams dying at 5 gens and being completely clueless as you can see just shows how bad average pub player is. No knowledge of LoS break chains, stealthing, rotating nor anything similar.

KnightLight is the best Nurse player in the world, tho that doesn't matter in this discussion. And if you want to actually determine strength of killer, judging by their strength based on matches in pub matchmaking against mid survivors at best, that's kinda yikes.
Tbh i really hate this mentality of judging killer strength by how best players of that killer perform against pub survivors, while judging strength of survivor role based on how average pub players play survivor.

Why don’t you try playing Nurse yourself and show us how easy it is to get these “free wins” before you complain about her.

The only change she needs is rework of the green lunge add on to bring back accuracy on telport spots. Otherwise she is balanced in current state. Said by someone who went multiple times against 5 blink nurse with old ebony mori and she is more than fair now, apart from that stupid green add on that gives her advantage of 200+ ping.
