Here’s a reminder that the nurse cool down needs to be removed
The cool down takes you out of the groove of playing her having to watch for the second blink to come back is very annoying..she also has less map pressure because of that and she’s a killer that moves at 96% movement speed right? So that’s how she gets around ...all you’d need to do is remove the cool down and she’d be fun again..not having to wait for that 1 blink it really takes you out of the game

Isn't it just a 3 second cooldown without addons?
1 -
Yeah, the cooldown, dedicated servers, and the multitude of bugs ignored by the developers really make her unfun.
Only her add-ons were the problem. Her basekit was strong and offered counterplay. Now her counterplay is litterally just holding the W key.

The Nurse is still a top tier killer, and I'm not the only one with that opinion. It just requires more patience to learn her now than before the nerf.
Arguably she becomes more powerful as Survivors run into fewer Nurses and cannot adapt fast enough if they do face one.
2 -
For each blink that’s 6 seconds if you wanna use both taking off the cool down would make her much more enjoyable and give her back her map pressure/main way of getting across a map
2 -
3 seconds per Blink, you can say that it is 3,5 seconds Cooldown for two blinks, because 2,5 seconds are Fatique anyway. So when you wait for one blink, you only wait 0,5 seconds after Fatique.
@Topic:
The Cooldown makes sense to actually give a chance ot get distance. This was the problem with old Nurse, you can simply just blink again, which left not much Counterplay.
2 -
she is the best but she’s just such a pain to play now
1 -
I can tell your a survivor main or have never played nurse
5 -
Yeah but your fatigued after you blink anyway which is pretty much the time it takes to get one recharge, so really you wait about 3-4 seconds for your second blink to come back which isn't long at all. She's still one of the best killers she doesn't need buffed other killers need buffed.

Great counter argument. Maybe you need to get good?
3 -
Ok lol It’s not a buff it’s a QOL change having to wait for a blink is annoying,frustrating and just takes you out of the experience taking away the cool down would not only make her more fun to play as but also make it easier for new players to play her..the reason you don’t see many nurses anymore is because of the cool down it was a over nerf
4 -
yup Definitely a survivor main i can’t even take you seriously now 😂
4 -
If you are saying yourself that she is the best, what's the problem?
0 -
Haha lol
0 -
You know what else was annoying? Being physically unable to escape a good nurse. Good nurses would literally triangulate a survivor's position and would be inescapable. At least there's a 4ish second cooldown associated with that now.
2 -
You know what also annoying? Being physically unable to catch survivors, because the loops are simply uncounterable by killers. Good survivors will just abuse those to their full extend.
7 -
You could get away from a good nurse what made it impossible we’re the broken addons not her base kit ..I’m sorry you couldn’t bully old nurse base kit
5 -
She doesn't even need a QOL change, do you want to remove the power recovery for spirit so she can phase and then phase again straight away? The cooldown really isn't a problem at all once you get the hang of it, it would be unnecessary to revert it back.
0 -
To take a page out of your book, yup Definitely a killer main i can’t even take you seriously now 😂
3 -
Ok well I strongly disagree with you on this nurse needs it taken off it is annoying and unfun her counter is running in a straight line now
0 -
I play survivor and killer 50/50 if you were even active on the forums or looked at my post history you’d know this lol I know the frustrations of both killer and survivor
1 -
If they run in a straight line how come you can't just reach them with a blink though? I feel like you can blink further than a survivor can run
1 -
The cooldown is necessary to balance her power. Just learn how to play her right.
2 -
No try it then play nurse then you’ll agree with me
0 -
I am active on the forums, and why would I care about your post history.
Did you comb through all almost 4k posts by @brokedownpalace to find out if he was a "survivor main" or did you just throw it around like some automatic discrediting insult?
1 -
Because I can tell lol it’s not a insult it’s just I can tell he’s never played nurse and I’m betting you have not either and if you have you didn’t play her for long
0 -
I bet you didn't play against good old nurses for long either.
1 -
I do play nurse and played against her and running straight isn't that good, looping is still best with a mix of running straight
0 -
There was plenty of counterplay, survivors are just lazy
3 -
The nurse can still win, killers are just lazy
Two-way streets are fun.
1 -
Run in a straight line, she can't get you with the new kit, vs break line of sight and put some thought into your actions against old nurse
1 -
I don't have much faith that the devs will do the right thing. Maybe in a few months.
0 -
Can you show a video of a player running straight and a nurse not being able to catch up
1 -
Well shes impossible to learn unless you where a god tier nurse before the patch went live, I'd say now Spirit is strongest killer ONLY because the Nurse's learning curve is SOOOOOOO big
0 -
B-b-b-but it's just 3 seconds!!!! There's no way a top tier killer has a counter of just running across the map in straight lines! Baka.
Like did anyone on the balance or dev team ever actually play Nurse for longer than 10 minutes outside of rank 20? It does not seem like it at all.
1 -
Not really it just makes it easy to gen rush her by removing her map pressure
0 -
It doesn't remove it all it does is reduce it, she still has some of the best map pressure in the game
1 -
No she doesn't, killers like billy and spirit have way better map pressure than this nurse. Old basekit nurse, yeah she had the best map pressure, but she doesn't now considering to actually get some form of map pressure you can only blink once to keep a blink for a chase.
Literally a survivor can outrun a nurse in a straight line without add ons. Imagine making the strongest killer in the game needing add ons in order to catch a survivor holding W in a straight line.
Spirit and Billy are stronger than the Nurse now.
3 -
She needed a nerf but she was way over nerfed. Now she has one of the lowest kill rates of any killer for both experienced and new players alike.
Ive suggested before that either:
a)remove or lower the cooldown for blink, maybe make the cool down reset both blinks instead of one per cool down.
b) Remove fatigue and leave everything else as is.
c) increase her base speed to 4.2-4.4 like hag/huntress/spirit or
d) give her 3-4 blinks and leave everything else as is.
Any ONE of these would put her back at the top or near the top tier without making her as OP as she once was.
1 -
How about making the cooldown only start after a swing (successful or not) and / or while in a chase. So you can keep her map pressure but the chase offers more time to react after a failed blink
1 -
Yeah I didn't say she had the best I said some of the best?
Also show me the footage of a survivor running str and a nurse not catching up.
And too your end point just cause she's not the strongest anymore doesn't mean she isn't still strong, she doesn't need help the lower tier killers do.

Big brain survivor plays be running in a straight line occasionally switching directions around walls.
Such engaging gameplay it's hard to imagine why anyone plays any other killer ever.
0 -
Cool down was not the way to go, made her unfun to play (former main base kit nurse). Add on changes were totally fine but base kit wasn't needed.
Seems like people are confusing fun with getting 4 kills which is not the case, at least not for me
2 -
You can just play her. Most people now immediately start running in a straight line towards the nearest LOS break when a chase starts. Why? Because if you miss even one single blink a chase can be utterly and totally reset, if you can even find them again.
It used to take skill to juke Nurse and outplay her with LOS breaks. Now you can just run around a corner, wait for the blink and fatigue, then almost guarantee you get away.
2 -
I do play her and I don't find this a problem, what kind of nurses do you go up against because they mustn't be any good
0 -
You either get map pressure or the ability to blink in chase but you don't get both which is one of the things that kills her
2 -
I think that's a big overreaction like the majority of this discussion, it's less than 4 seconds to get a second charge if you can't do well with that then run addons to reduce the time. If you still can't do well then sorry but that's on you. The nurse doesn't need anymore work ATM all the attention needs to be on the actual killers with bad mobility.

Ok boomer

Okay so you ran out of the ability to converse properly, no worries mate until next time.

Man im all for this i use to play her on console but after that basekit change she went from challenging and fun to ridiculously annoying harder and even un enjoyable she is so unfun as it is.
On top of that between the cooldown n fatigue survivors get far enough away to where u have to blink just catch back up ridiculous
1 -
Thank God that`s never gonna happen, at least not without compensation nerfs elsewhere.
