Now that the Nurse has been reduced to a bottom tier killer, i'd suggest you take a similar Axe to the non-interactive gameplay currently provided by the Spirit. Considering the high rank live servers already play like a Spirit PTB at this point (15 Spirits in 21 games, very fun), i'd say we can absolutely take her out the back just like the nurse in her latest iteration.

And after that, we can FINALLY adjust some of the base mechanics that have gone WAY out of whack, like taking Generator times back to 100, or preferably even 120 seconds. Right now, doing a generator doesn't feel like a commitment to an objective at all, it's done WAY too fast. There's reason the whole "gen rush" meme/meta has become so unbearably stale. Being able to do a generator in 80 seconds should be reserved for survivors using a purple mechanics toolbox on it.

I WANT to be less ridiculously powerfull as a survivor - because as long as my best way of playing is obvious, brazen, spamming crutches like DS and adrenaline, to the point of potentially being able to 1v1 a killer for the entire duration of a match. That's not fun. Hiding in a corner with Iron Will, skillfully out-mindgaming a killer is a WAY more satisfying gameplay experience, and too many no-brain detection perks and survivor crutches have forced a meta of picking killers and playstyles that are as non-interactive as possible. All in a bid to work around the base mechanics being way out of balance.

Hit the Spirit, maybe do a little bit against the Hags camping potential, and then when all the killers are on a more even playing field fix some of the base mechanics that CLEARLY need a touch-up, since they haven't been touched in a period of time that has seen survivors become WAY more optimal at exploiting them to their fullest potential.

I'll enjoy the game a heck of a lot more when i can get tense games and interesting gameplay setups against 10-17 killers, rather than repeating the same 2-3 over and over and over because i can abuse all the other ones to the point of noone using them in higher ranks anymore.

Seriously, look at the amount of matches played and won by killers specifically above rank 5. I bet you the distribution among killers picked is SO far off the charts tilted towards Nurse, Spirit and Billy (because they overcome the base mechanics as previously mentioned). You have the data. Act on it. Broaden the spectrum of viable stuff. I'll be hella thankful when you do :)
