How is this a thing???
Alright, so I just read the Nurse nerfs and could only think of one thing: WHAT IS THIS?!
Her "nerf" isn't even a nerf. It's the equivalent of Legion getting destroyed. How does anyone not see that her power becomes a joke, because any experienced player (those are the only ones who see Nurse much in high tiers) will know to just run in a straight line after juking or getting hit. It's impossible to follow up with another hit or keep them in sight. I already know these changes can't go through, as she moves slower than a surv and can't even follow them cause she's on "standby" for three seconds.
Nurse isn't easy to use. Anyone who claims otherwise is someone who doesn't use her much and fought any experienced teams. "It's just muscle memory!" That's another word for PRACTICE. You have to do A LOT of practice to get her down, which doesn't include the experience you need on the physics to her blinks. Hence, why very few use her and most refuse to touch her.
I can understand removing Omega and the increased blink add-ons. She really only needed range on massive maps or maps with absolute abysmal collision factos (I.E Haddonfield).
Nurse was the only killer that could handle the top 1% and the one who actually made survs feel fear. You turned a killer that didn't need add-ons, to one that requires them to just help her be what she currently is. Not to mention she still moves slower than a survivor.
Now all you have to do is juke/get hit and run in a straight line across the map, then repeat. It's going to be amazing to see how powerful rocks and trees really become. You blink twice and then the surv runs to a new LoS breaker location. A killer that is now afraid to use their own power...
I'm fine with the add-on changes. Absolutely NOT fine with her base kit changes. This was supposed to be for her add-ons. Leave her base power alone! Her base to any average player is not hard to juke.

Can we at least test it before making any judgments? People said things like this about Freddy after the details of his rework were announced. Even if she is weak, that's what the PTB is for, it isn't like the devs are putting the new Nurse on live servers with no testing. If they see it fit, the devs will buff the Nurse accordingly.

Oh goodness, the argument of just wait and see is what they said about Legion. I know Nurse as close as one can get.
They just better not touch her base.

It's also what they said about new Freddy.

She is easy to use. You won't change my mind ever. If she was hard to learn, I wouldn't get consistent 4ks after like 5 matches

I can go to rank 20 and get a 4k without blinking 5 matches in a row. I'm talking about the top 1%.
Does anyone read?

That's what people said about MoM: "Wait until you see it in-game." Sometimes you can tell just by reading the description of a game mechanic that something is not a good idea.

I am in red ranks. What is your point?

And what did the devs do? Nerf it. Although it was a very late nerf it was still done. As I said, if they see fit, the devs will buff the Nurse.

My point is that just because you get some bad survs, doesn't mean a killer is good. Nurse still gets destroyed against good players.

You just went from "let's wait until we see it in-game" to how her unjustified nerfs will be adjusted in a couple of months. That was quick.
0 -
Did you just ignore the bit where I said "if they see fit"?
1 -
I covered that with the "in a couple of months" part. But you are probably right, she is getting nerfed, and it will stay that way, no matter whether it's healthy for the game or not.

Despite what a lot of users on here may think, the devs do not favour one side over the other, just because survivors were OP in the past does not mean they are now, it also doesn't mean that certain killers didn't need their fair share of adjustments. The devs are trying something new out and a huge amount of users on here are acting as though the devs just punched them in the face.

Base Nurse is SS tier for years with Survivors being toned down over this time period. Clearly she doesn't need nerfed... cause Killer bias.
1 -
It's a suckerpunch to my face especially, because I've played her since her release.

Take a look at the current state of the game. Of course one side is heavily favoured. I'm not saying that the devs are doing it intentionally but that doesn't change the fact that a heavy imbalance exists.
And of course users here are angry. All Nurse needed was an adjustment to some of her add-ons (omega-blink, additional blinks). Instead she gets omega-nerfed which is a really big problem since she is the only killer who was able to face the hardcore SWFs.
