BHVR Please read: Re-address nurse

I second that.

@Tro You will see it here:

It will say if the devs read it, or at least I think it works like that.

Not necessarily. BHVR read is a flag that the devs manually apply to a post, a bit like an upvote. I don't know how they decide when to use it, but they don't necessarily apply it to every post they read.

The only way to know for sure that the devs read your post is if they apply a "BHVR read" to it, or reply themselves, but just because they don't do either of those things doesn't necessarily mean they didn't read it.

What did I say?

As the strongest killer in the game, she would OP if she was easy, she has a low killrate because 1. she isn't great on console (she should get the Oni treatment) 2. People suck at playing her 3. she is buggy. Buffing her would not fix any of these things, once she is fixed she will be much more consistent especially when used by good players

Being a good player doesn't make you smart, it doesn't make your opinion valid either, consistently getting 2ks is exactly what the devs have said they want the game to be balanced around, any other killer doesn't have that level of consistency, unlike other killers it doesn't matter the map or the perks survivors are running, Nurse is still going to be strong. P.S. You aren't supposed to win every game, thats ridiculous, there will be times where survivors spread out and play optimally enough to make Nurse's lethality less of a problem, neither side should be winning 100% of the time. If you watch, a good nurse can end chases very quickly and that is the main gameplay of killers, chasing. Nurse is the best at chases and consistently downs survivors quickly when played correctly, just because the Nurse can't kill everyone before the gens are done doesn't make Nurse a bad killer, it means the survivors are playing around the Nurse and playing optimally to compensate for Nurse's incredible strength during chase

Everything Plaquer says in his post pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about the situation. There was a recent forum topic about the same, saying the nurse isn't any good. I disagree. She can be great depending on the circumstances, but can also be poor depending on the same. I think her base movement speed could be increased a bit to get her played more, but other than that, be careful what you ask for. If the Nurse's blink cooldown were removed and she had even 3 blinks, no survivor could ever get away from her, ever. The survivors in the game need to have hope of getting away, and it would be bad enough with two blinks, but 3-4 with no cooldown and she is a monster. Here are some tips for playing nurse better. First off, you have to blink to be successful with Nurse--a non-blink nurse doesn't work. Not only is Nurse too slow, but the only thing that potentially scares survivors and gets in their head is that Nurse can just appear suddenly and hit them. Second, Nurse is environment specific, so if you play nurse in asylum or tight levels with lots of walls, it can feel terrible, and the reason is because, if you can help it, you never want to start a blind blink without visual proof where the survivor is you are chasing, and with tight walls, you pretty much have to do that. In contrast, on open levels, Nurse is very strong because the killer can see you a lot and can turn a corner to see you run off. The exception is if someone keeps running a circle around a small set of walls. So bide your time and blink wisely. Fourth, don't blink directly at a hidden gen...blink to the side then blink at the survivors to get hit and generate a trail. It is too imprecise to try and get on one particular part of the gen to score a hit, especially considering you don't know exactly where a survivor is on the gen. In contrast, always go for the straight hit when you see healing taking place. Open gens don't matter because you can see each other anyway, but you should still go for the two-part shot because it is easier to get a hit that way. Fifth, always blink for hits and always take a swipe when close unless so close walking makes sense. Sixth, never blink through two walls if you can help it. If you do, try to have in mind a large landing zone (big open space). Things that come to mind are diagonally blinking across two walls of the same room to cut a corner. If you are far from the corner, don't do it because you set yourself up to faceplant the first wall and small changes in rotational view before blink make for large changes in distance relative to what you are trying to pass through. If you faceplant the first wall, you are set up for a blind blink. Specifically, consider the killer shack looping. The proper play is to go inside the shack and blink through one wall out of it toward the survivor (smart nurse), not blinking from one external wall to another external wall (dumb nurse). The above does not apply if your are only trying to pass into a narrow hallway through one wall. Sometimes you have to do that. Seventh, consider proximity facecamping to use hooked survivors as bait. This is extremely true if you have already killed two survivors and have a third either down or hooked. There are important reasons for this. First, if the hatch opens, you have to blink to find it most quickly. You are better off looking for the survivor (more on this in a moment). Second, if you choose to be slow to look, then the survivor has an advantage because you are slower regardless. Third, if you are blinking you give away your position and proximity to the survivor due to the noise you make. Even if you manage to get the hatch closed, the survivor can tell you are coming a mile away. So you should facecamp the third person and hope the fourth is dumb enough to get close. Once the third is gone, uness you know where the last survivor is, you probably will not get a crafty survivor. Eighth, and I almost forgot, do not add glowing eyes and heads to the nurse. Be as plain and inconspicuous as possible. Yes, I know there is a glowing red light, but all the glowing effects make you stand out like a sore thumb against all the dull backgrounds. Last tip, don't be so hard on yourself as nurse. The fun is in the challenge of playing well with her. Cut yourself some slack and just have fun. The game is very biased toward at least one survivor escaping. With a little practice and the right environment, Nurse can be great.

The add on nerf was deserved, not the basekit thou. Many killers and survivors, including myself, said that the problem was the add ons, not the basekit. People who complained about the basekit, usually were people who complained about god nurses.

I want to play against more nurses especially since I want to play her as a killer and understand her counterplay but I rarely see her as a survivor.

I think devs went too far in nerfing her.

I think the only small buff nurse would need is a shared cd for both blinks, your option "c" from the first post basically. I feel like the current situation is too crippling for her, because gens go way too fast and one single mistake means prolonging already the chase by a very good amount, especially in indoors maps such as lery's or hnl.

Also, I really feel like most players that keep calling nurse 'op' are just really lazy and don't want to learn how to actually counter her, and that's only because she's the only killer that requires a different strategy than normal pallet looping + the fact that you don't see many nurses so they're not used to her.

Her addons are also mostly trash, the only ones that are worth using are blink recharge reduction or fatigue reduction (both yellow and green paired together, never alone). Rest are... disgustingly useless
