Should nurse have a nerf?
Comments
-
Nurse is the only killer that can reach a 2 kill average under competitive circumstances.
The devs consider a 2 kill average balanced22 -
Shes only good if the player is good. You can see a lot of players that can't play her well even in rank 1. They keep missing hits.. You just got a very noob team wich you can get while playing every killer.
I dare you to play with only 1 blink and no addons with a decent team. Good luck.

I just think her extra blink addons should be removed.

She needs no nerfs, she takes time to be useful. Y’all either sucked or she was experienced6
-
Only her add ons.

Just going to share this with you all:

I do think Nurse should eventually get a nerf, but only **after** all of the other killers have been buffed to her level.12 -
I'd concur with one of the users above and just remove extra blinks. No killers need nerfs, if anything I'd love to see a patch where every killer gets a buff to make them as useful as Billy/Nurse so people aren't funneled into playing those two killers.

in my eyes, nurse is in a difficult spot right now...
if you buff her, she will be super SUPER OP.
if she stays like this, she will be OP (in the right hands) and UP (in the wrong hands)
if you nerf her, she will be one of the worst killers, since its already hard enough to play her as it is.
my opinion!7 -
Why are some people so obsessed with 1 blink Nurse? Yes, I can hit them with only 1 blink, but it has to be a short distance. It's really hard to hit someone that is far away with 1 teleport.0
-
If a killer is balanced without running any add-ons, then what happens when they do decide to use them?
She obviously needs a nerf. And the majority of killers needs buff.
3 -
Sure but only once every other killer is viable or there is no meme pick killer2
-
Any game I play whenever discussing issues of balance, I feel like before nerfing any particular class, spec, whatever that seems OP, you should first bring anything that is underpowered up to speed, then watch and observe for a while, then carefully tune down or nerf one thing at a time that might be overpowered.
In other words, buff the killers that need it before touching nurse. Also, look into the reasons for why nurse is overpowered -- because pallet looping is a huge part of the game, and she counters it. Either change the game or give other killers better ways to counter looping.
I get what you're saying and I agree nurse is too strong compared to the other killers, but I think that's more because the other killers are too weak than that she is too strong.

She has had nothing but nerfs let the poor girl live

The only thing that should happen to her is to rework some of her addons. Specifically the ones that gives her more than 3 blinks. She should never have more than 3. But she needs 2 blinks base. The first to cover distance and the second to readjust. Third blink is training wheels then you once you get good with her you use other addons.
The Nurse is the only killer that is only as good as the player. Her victory is completely on her own skill. Every other killer need to capitalize on survivor mistakes.
2 -
Yes, I just wanted to take the precious moment where a survivor realizes that the same logic he uses to get nurse nerfed actually applies to all survivors.
Sorry if I interupted you trying to get nurse nerfed
5 -
Nurse only seems too strong because of the looping meta in DBD right now. If stealth and stealth perks were more popular, nurse wouldn’t be nearly as powerful. Survivors are just mad they can’t click a flashlight and heal each other in her face and not get punished for it.5
-
The nurse needs no nerfs. She received plenty of nerfs since her introduction. Where she sits now is fine. The only nerfs i would ever consider for her is some of her addons. The 4 and 5 blink addons should be removed or reworked completely and her no down side 3 blink addon should be an ultra rare. With regards to her base form she is golden.
1 -
Only balanced nerf I would give her is to make her blind while she blinks, this way she cannot anticipate whether a survivor runs left or right around an object.
3 -
Oh she definitely needs nerf.
Some people can say that she is the only killer that can get 2 kills in competitive matches but those matches are being played without perks and addons. Survivor perks like selfcare, sprint burst, etc. are not powerful against her but bbq, nurse's calling etc. is really really good for her.
She shouldn't have infinite amount of blinks I think. Survivors should be given a chance to go and hide after a nurse fck's up a couple of her blinks. Then, just like huntress or clown, she should need a little bit time to refill her power.
Experienced and good nurses will still dominate but mediocre nurses will not be able to get 4k every game anymore.

The only nerf she needs is to cap blinks at 3 maximum. Bad Nurses need to git gud, not rely on a 4th or 5th Blink.

Yeah a balanced idea for an unbalanced killer, sorry you want every match to require no brain to play and just down everyone within 15 seconds of a chase.

Balanced in your mind but to those on this forum without delusions on what is considered balanced your idea would make her worse than freddy lol

If you can't keep track of a survivor during a blind 2 second blink then you deserve to lose them. Nurse and billy are overpowered in their current state, other killers are relatively balanced besides Freddie. They are the goal the game should strive for, not more killers who don't require any skill to play in the long run.

Virtually no one agrees with you. If your changes were implemented there would not be enough people left to play killer. Dont fool yourself. You know nothing of what is and is not balance.

Nurse does need to be toned down a bit. It's one thing that her power helps her for chases and map pressure, it's another thing that she can entirely subvert core mechanics of the game (pallets/windows) and at the same time just ignore walls altogether. The Game is generally a good killer map, but against a good Nurse it just becomes an instant loss for survivors. The fact she can go up and down without using drop downs/stairs (which no other killer can do, bar the Hag but even she can't do it willingly) and go through the blocked doors (which again no other killer can do) makes it just impossible to get away from her. The fact she ignores basic map geometry is what makes her so strong. No other killer can just cut out a ton of time by phasing through a wall. I get she is hard to play but there comes a tipping point where the difficulty of using her is surpassed purely by her ability to just ignore everything in the game.
I think that they should tweak the Nurse. I don't want her to be "nerfed" but she does need to abide by some of the same rules as normal killers, namely that she should have to respect map geometry and not just fly around at will. I'd suggest giving her 3 blinks BUT only allowing her to blink to a point that is in line of sight. Then she can't just ignore walls/floors and has to play the pallet/window game a bit more, but she'd still be quite powerful in a chase and would still be able to maintain high map pressure.

Bad Nurses need to git gud, not rely on a 4th or 5th Blink.Agreed, I think she should have a 2 base blink and perhaps make the 3rd a Rare or Ultra Rare addon. A 4-5 blink Nurse in an experienced players hands is pretty much a down within 15 seconds or so. Most of the time that is and especially on any wide open map where you can't los juke her.
By the time you prestige her you should have a pretty good idea of how to play her, especially if you play her a lot.

Right, because only survivors agree that Nurse is too strong.
Of course
The only reason why nurse is powerful is because all survivors do is loop and in case you havent noticed she was made for countering looping. You cant call her too strong if you are doing what she was made to destroy you in.

Looping wasn't a thing for several more months when the Nurse released, so that statement is inherently wrong.

If survivors would use an equal amount of time to learn how to play against a nurse, as that nurse player did to master her. Then NO ONE would ask for a nerf.
When i was learning nurse, survivors ran around me, clicking their flashlights and teabagging me. Telling me after the match, that i need to git gud. That i´m not on their skill level. That i´m a baby nurse.
But when i do a 4k with her, she´s suddenly OP and needs a nerf.No one spends 200+ hours looking for pennies on the ground, because the floor tiles are so interesting. People spend so much time to master her, so they could finally beat survivors on high ranks.
Git Gud? That´s exactly what people did.
Don´t like it? Stop saying it then!10 -
step 1 : killer profile pic
step 2 : "PS; I play both survivor killer equally"
step 3 : create BS killer nerf thread
step 4 : profit?On a serious note, nurse as in her base kit is fine and balanced. Her add-on(s) need a rework tho. 2+ blinks shouldn't be in game or atleast not as common as it is today. Period.

Infinites were a thing and infinites could be looped. git gud at the game and maybe she wont destroy you

In my opinion I feel that her lunge should be smaller I get hit by her lunge and most of the time I disagree that it actually hit me other than that the nurse is skill I would just like to see a small lunge for better blink accurcy skill.

Infinites and loops are inherently different, hence the different names.
And fu too, I have no trouble facing Nurses.
infinites waste the killers time and prevent them from hitting you...sounds the same to me
thats nice you can play against her.
Know what? Not gonna bother with you, just wasting my time.

I can see taking away the extra blinks. But until the looping game is put into balance, leave her alone.
