So since we are wondering who will receive updates next..nurse please

She is so awesome that she is a unicorn.

The only time i see her is when match making screws up and puts a brown or yellow rank against me who is trying her.

People aren't complaining that Nurse is too strong anymore, so devs goal was accomplished.

You should be happy if they will at least fix some of her bugs at this point.

Only survivors are happy with her

It was always needed because Nurse is the only killer that ignores all game rules. In right hands she is unbeatable unlike other killers. That's why she got cooldown on her power.

Again, because a lot of people jumped to her after her rework who couldn't play her. This then dropped the kill rate overall, which the stays showed. Then people who can't play her or are just trying out all killers in general still try her out. This also drops the kill rate.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last official stats we had were about a month after her rework. We've had no more since then. So we don't know her official current rework stats, only those from just after her rework. Your experience doesn't equate mine, and so we have differing opinions on her strength, because we see different nurse players.

Also I'd like to again quote you on "I want a discussion with people aren't here to parrot that she's she still top tier". Your opinion is that she isn't top tier, correct? Therefore, you don't want to hear the opposite opinion, and so you don't actually want a discussion of her strength and the issues, you want your own thoughts parroted back at you.

@Peanits I know you're usually very active on these forums. Can you or another dev quickly give some stats to the kill rate and/or pick rate of the nurse currently on pc?

And yeah, the nurse players I see agree she's a shell of her former self too. Difference is they still 4k with ease most of the time, and when they don't it's because the map was awful, gens flew by at the start of the game, and they made mistakes ruining their snowball potential.

The Nurse still has most of the potential from before, with 3 differences.

The first: downing a survivor now has a speed limiter due to the blink cooldown which really just feels like handcuffs holding you back, which is what people dislike, It turns Nurse into a cooldown simulator and is just forced.

The second is that due to the cooldown, Nurse is overly punishing, any mistake that you do will allow survivors to just run a straight line and force 2-3 blink cycles, the time you take to down them just builds up over time resulting in you losing very precious time. There is no killer as punishing as Nurse, compare Spirit for example, Spirit moves at Mach II during the phasewalk but even if they miss the swing they are just reverted back to base speed while awaiting the cooldown, meanwhile Nurse gets stunned and forced to wait a cooldown while moving slower than survivors. Also, Dead Hard causes the Nurse to suffer what feels like the biggest falloff of any killer I have played, think to how Object affected Ghostface and Wraith prior to undetectable.

The third ties in with the first and second, which is LOS, when you lose LOS and miss your blink my a few metres, you of course are forced to enter fatigue, this can be remedied with better prediction by learning how the survivor plays and blinking to the certain safe spots, but this becomes especially a problem with indoor maps. In indoor maps you almost never have LOS on a survivor, the prediction and blink spots become almost useless because since you almost never see a survivor, you have nothing to make a prediction upon, and since indoor maps are a random mess you cannot ever be certain that your blink will not be blocked by some random junk in the middle of the corridor. The result is that you are forced to hit a completely blind blink, or repeatedly enter fatigue and wait the cooldown until you do, and the combination of the two makes so that even if you guess their general area correctly but are not quite on them, you will not gain any distance as they will turn a corner and by the time the cooldown is over they could have turned 8 more, and you are back where you started.

Most of these issues are not even about the Nurse's raw power, theoretically Nurse is still the best killer in the game, it is about how fun Nurse is to play, if that were addressed Nurse players would be much happier.

Now, just a question about your earlier post about the Nurse being able to catch up to survivors after the on-hit speed burst in a single blink cycle: Did you take into account the blink charge time and the time it takes for the blink to travel? I am questioning this because from personal experience it takes 2-3 blink cycles to catch up to them, they can usually run just outside your lunge range and force another cycle or two depending on how far away they were initially. (To clarify: 1-2 blinks to get into blink range, the remaining are the ones that can give you the hit).

Edit: Fixed a mistake in which I replaced the word 'time' with 'distance'

Okay so in regards to your question about my earlier calculations, I did try but didn't write it there. Theoretically, yes you can catch up to a survivor within a single blink, hit and down them. What usually happens, I will admit, is you use your first blink to get within range, then go back to fatigue, then blink again to hit them.

The reason for this is that you require split second perfect timings to do this, and most of the time it's just luck if you do manage it. From the numbers alone though, they make it 16m as you just come off of cooldown. It's possible but unlikely that, moving at 13.3m/s, you can catch up to them. Therefore from numbers alone (again, I can't play her for the life of me), it's more strategical to wait for blink 1 to come off cooldown, single blink for distance, and then go from there, be it waiting for another single blink for the kill or waiting for a double blink (which allows room for error but overall requires a much more precise first blink).

But yeah, to answer your question, I did take into account the charge time and time to move. We were, at that point, using hypothetical situations that could happen, hence why I included that. The reason it takes between 2 and 3 cycles to catch up is because survivors will move (gain less distance but will manage to trick a nurse) and because of the charge time/move speed. But technically, it is possible.

So you are saying there should be different changes limiting Nurse's ability to completly destroy whole survivor squad in a matter of second?
