Nurse
Has anyone even seen a nurse since her nerf? I haven't seen one and I play survivor in purple ranks everyday for multiple hours and multiple matches.
Can any dev give me the pick rate for nurse post nerf because I am genuinely curious about this?

I've seen a few. I miss playing against nurses. Being able to juke her felt more rewarding than looping killers around safe pallets.

Never saw cuz everyone thinks she got gutted and also no one knows how to play

See her even less on PS4 than I did before and when I do they are always hopeless.

I know right? one time I juked a nurse around a loop and stunned her when she blinked to me, I was clicking my flashlight so hard after that.

I still use her on PC at red ranks. Results vary. I'm no god Nurse by any means, but I at least 2k more often than not.

Maybe I'll have to just grind to get into red ranks so I can see my beloved killer again

I'm also in red ranks. And I think I'd be right if I say I've played against three red rank and two purple rank nurses after the nerf.

So when are you gonna fix the oni map for nurse and the remaining bugs on the killer?

She's literally the least played killer now in all my games and I play way, way more than the average person.
When I have seen her she gets destroyed.
This is red ranks on PC.

You don't see Nurse for three main reasons:
1) She's absolutely painful to play on maps with lots of Line of Sight blockers. This would include maps such as Lery's Treatment Center, Haddonfield, The Game, Springwood, Yamaoka estate, and a few other maps.
The reason behind this is that she relies 100% on predicting the movements of survivors. If you give survivors more than the usual number of pathing options and also prevent line of sight, you drastically increase the amount of skill necessary to get a hit and drastically increase the difficulty of predicting survivor movement.
2) Killer sounds are still bugged. This varies by map, but the sound bugs make tracking survivor movements during chase very difficult, especially through walls or other obstructions. If you have to rely on JUST hearing to predict survivor movement through walls, any inaccuracy in the sounds will obviously make your blinks not accurate enough to get a hit.
3) Nurse still has to deal with Dead Hard, so with the changes to her blink reappearance, good survivors will 100% always have enough time to react and use Dead Hard. This makes it so that Nurse ALWAYS needs 2–3 blinks in order to down a survivor with Dead Hard.
Ideal situation:
2 blinks are up
1 blink to approach and hit
2 blinks are up
1 blink to move closer
1 blink to get within lunge distance
Dead Hard
1 blink to get down
