The Nurse - Her add-ons suck

I've been playing the nurse recently and yes I get it, she's hard, but I haven't played, and can't find, any other killer whose add-ons I never want to use.

Every Nurse add-on has a downside. Increased fatigue, slower charge, remove a blink... some sort of downside. This is worse than any other killer as other killers have many add-ons that are all upside. Rusted Jaws for the trapper - survivors suffer mangled... no downside. Bone clapper for the wraith, no downside. Spiked Boots for the hillbilly. I could go on and on. I could list a massive multitude for each killer... no downsides to their add-ons yet FOR THE NURSE EVERY ADD-ON HAS A DOWNSIDE.

If that weren't bad enough, the higher the rarity the worse the downsides. THE VERY-RARE ADD-ONS HAVE TWO DOWNSIDES each. Usually one of them being to remove a blink which is the nurse's primary ability. Usually I'm excited to get purple add-ons for a killer but with the nurse a purple add-on is an "oh, well there's a waste of my time that I'll never use". I would literally rather use lower level add-ons because the downsides of her purple add-ons are so bad.

The end result of all of this is that as a nurse you are generally better off running no add-ons at all because the combination of various downsides from the add-ons is generally more detrimental to you than not running any at all.

The other killers just don't have this. The very rare Disfigured Ear doesn't read "Survivors who trigger a phantasm trap are deafened. The hag can set 3 less traps". No, it reads "Survivors who trigger a phantasm trap are deafened." No downside.

IMHO, the downsides should be removed from (most of?) The Nurse add-ons especially the removes a blink on the very rares as that makes them unplayable.

Thanks for hearing me, that's my 2 cents.


Examples:

\Kavanagh's Last Breath - Very Rare - Moderately increases chain blink window. Slightly increases fatigue duration. Removes 1 blink.

Why would I want to give up an entire blink to moderately increase the chain blink window? And it also increases my fatigue duration? That's absolute #########. Combine this with the fact that anything that gives you an extra blink (above 2) is also very rare and you find that you never have 3 blinks so the one benefit (decrease chain blink window) is actually useless because you have 2 blinks, this removes 1 so you'll never be doing a chain blink.


Jenner's Last Breath - Very Rare - Tremendously increases blink movement speed. Moderately decreases blink charge speed. Removes 1 blink.

The blink is already the fastest possible movement in the game so increasing its movement speed is fairly irrelevant. Decreasing the blink charge speed a bit is also fairly irrelevant as I've never found charge speed of the blink to be an issue. Combine this with the fact that anything that gives you an extra blink (above 2) is also very rare and you find that you never have 3 blinks so to me this reads "You have one really fast moving blink... good luck with that".


Bad Man's Last Breath - Very Rare - Tremendously increase the charge speed of the blink. Slightly increase the fatigue time of the blink. Removes 1 blink. Combine this with the fact that anything that gives you an extra blink (above 2) is also very rare and you find that you never have 3 blinks so to me this reads "You have one blink that charges up really fast... good luck!".
