Just played my first PC game against Nurse
I've been playing this on PS4 for a year where Nurses are very rare and good one is like a unicorn. After playing a good one on PC, what a pile of BS. I know, I know, this has probably discussed many times before. What was the thinking in creating a killer that voids survivor's methods of escape? The only reason people stick with this game is because there is nothing else like it.

Count yourself lucky that you've only just started experiencing this.
Nurse has been in the game for quuuuuuite some time now for us PC lads...

Survivors defenses: pallets , loop, even bigger loops.
Some new defenses you unaware of: stealth, mindgaming, breaking a chase.

Stealth? Never thought of that. Thanks for the hot tip. /s

You're a console player. Your experiences mean nothing here. PC is where all the true killers & survivor elites roam. Console players actually try to loop nurse. I'm a nurse main and play her on console so I know.
Nurse is the god of the game and for good reason. Learn how to play against her and stop crying.

The narcissism is seeping out of your post.

She has too be in the game in order for high ranked players too have a killer who can get past a safety pip, when they should just be buffing weaker kills so everyone is viable at high ranks.

I agree with you. The other killers are too weak. Nurse is the only sure thing against coordinated SWF.
5 -
yeah, she is too strong.
that is where everyone can agree with you.
but she is also the only killer that actually has the power to call herself "killer". her presence is the scariest thing in the entire game, because you know once she finds you, you are dead. thats honestly how it should be with all killers, yet the trend drifted off to "ha lul you cant even touch me, your not scary!"...
stealth is pretty much the only way to win against a good nurse. yet, thats also very hard, since the nurse can equip perks that help her get rid of that weakness (not completley, but stuff like BBQ or discordance can really help her out). in a chase, your going down, unless you somehow managed to trick her and sneak away .
there is also the problem, that you cant really nerf her without completely breaking her. she is already extremely hard to master, so making her even harder will probaply not affect the really good nurses that much, but actually the babie nurses who themselves are already getting bullied enough.
if you ask me, she is okay the way she is right now, as long as the game stays the way it is. however, when the game changes to the killer's favour, then nurse needs adjustments.
7 -
I think at base she is balanced, with add ons she is broken.
9 -
I disagree. It is very obvious BHVR has been focusing more on the chase aspect of the game for a long time. There are several anti-stealth killers and perks so you should definitely not die every time a killer finds you because they're so strong.
Furthermore Nurse is perfectly capable without add-ons, but some add-ons make her an even stronger omeganurse.

That's because survivors are supposed to adapt to the killer. Nurse is countered hard by stealth. Doctor and a number of other killers, quite the opposite. The problem is that so many survivors want to play the exact same way against every single killer and that's not what they're supposed to do. Yet the development team has done so many things to help them get their way that they've grown entitled into thinking otherwise.

Consider yourself lucky it wasnt a P3 Legacy nurse

Survivors have more ways to escape. But since running in circles is so braindead easy, and nurse counters exactly that. They think she's OP.
Just yesterday I had a really long and exciting chase against a God nurse. Only died, because I tried to pick up another survivor who was about to bleed out.
5 -
Nurse isn't that hard to counter to be honest, you just need to go more stealth instead of the "LOL YOLO" playstyle of running mindlessly in circles.
5 -
Pallets, Loops, Bigger Loops vs Nurse? LMAO!

Coming from a Nurse main, the best way to learn juking Nurses, is playing Nurse yourself. I used to be bad at juking Nurses, and always got caught. But now that I play her, I know how to loose her in a chase.
She is not OP ( some of her add-ons might be), its just that her counterplay is unconventionel and unique.

there isn't really any counterplay against a good nurse
fortunately, there aren't many "god" nurses around since most of them got bored of winning every game, so now the only problem players are the ones who slap on omegablink or 3 blinks + range. you don't need to be good at nurse to use that stuff
4 -
What if they just learning a nurse?
You dont have to use sprint burst to win as survivor but a lot of people use it
0 -
if they're just learning nurse the best thing they can do is use 0 addons so they can get used to the muscle memory. using range or +blink addons only teaches you to use those addons
2 -
First time and already complaining, don't you think you should try and learn how to counter her?
2 -
Back to PS4 with message of doom then?

Did you ever played as the nurse?
Tips against nurse:
Break line of sight.
Run Iron Will, good killers, especially on Nurse, are using their ears. Urban Evasion could help too as well Quick and Quiet.
Use the fatigue to your advantage to stun, blind or sneak away. You can even hide in her blindspots.
Mindgame her Blinks.
Don't roam the map carelessly. It just helps her to snowball.
Learn, adapt, overcome.

If this is your first game against a PC Nurse you're definitely still in the low ranks. You haven't even gone up against the good nurses yet.

You missed the point of his post entirely.
Nurse isnt too strong. She has a high skill ceiling so at the highest levels she is extremely hard to beat.
But most Nurses aren't God nurses. Nurse is one of the easiest killers to juke, if not the easiest killer to juke. Lots of coubterplay against her and mind gaming her blinks then going for a quick juke to break the chase is the way to counter her.
It's unfortunate that most survivors are too focused on looping to do this, that's why they think nurse is OP. A really good nurse with good game sense and tracking and some detection perks is one of the hardest things to beat in this game. But those nurses aren't very common. It's hard to get to that level of excellence.

Last night I faced a 3 blink Nurse who chased me for 5 gens before she DC'd because she couldn't catch me.
Learn to mindgame her. Most Nurse's expect pallet looping, so when you don't, it really fecks them up
1 -
I mean, you came from console. What do you expect? The skill cap of console is much lower + pc has more experience because well DbD is longer available on pc.
Also, you are probably low rank when u just started on pc
1 -
@Mochan. Well, record a video and show us how to escape from an p3 omegablink nurse, please.
0 -
Depip squad, have you heard of it?
3 -
Maybe stop being a Loopy looper when facing nurse?
When looping will go loads of salt is expected
2 -
Whatever helps them is called SWF. It doesnt take a much of brain to win when everyone know about killers whereabouts. Just take OoO and that info is given to you
0 -
You apparently don't know jack about the Depip squad
They were able to pull off the same ######### with no comms
2 -
Then blame player. If you cant 4k every game as omega blink you suck no offense
1 -
I didn't say anything about 4ks. I only pointed out that the depip squad - 4 very experienced players, went in and destroyed just about every single killer they went up against easily - even without comms, and sometimes without perks.
Because they knew the game THAT WELL that they understood at top level play, survivors hold all the cards.
To be completely fair, that was awhile ago and lots of things have changed since then (such as the universal healing nerf that finally took self-care off the meta). I'd be curious to know if they'd be able to pull off the same thing today.
2 -
And every one of those killers were playing "daily". None of them played to get 4kills they were playing simply for points.
1 -
@KaoMinerva you're completely wrong. I came from console, and I'm actually pretty good at juking Nurses on PC, I was since day 1.
You are completely wrong about this and it's offensive.
0 -
If you're pretty good you shouldn't be complaining. It's common knowledge a GOD NURSE will kill you 9 time out of 10. They've seen it all and miss are legacy 3. Accept your L and move on.
0 -
yeah dude just run a depip squad when you solo queue into an omegablink nurse, easy
1 -
Oh man, asylum building... A nightmare, nearly impossible to down a decent survivor who is running that building optimal.
0 -
@Slayer You said stealth! OMG! I'm laughing so hard right now. There is no real stealth play in this game anymore. So many aura perks, then add in the new GF perk that even negates Dance With Me - because that was too powerful to deal with.
There is no stealth play in this game. That is one of the primary reasons I switched to killer a year ago and never looked back. It's loop, blind, stun, loop. That is it.
