I used to think nurse is garbage because everytime I met a nurse they are just baby, but now crossplay is out and I met lots of god nurse on different platform. My juke time of nurse from 5 gen run goes to 20 seconds now. But seems like it is only nurse's addons orperk make she op?

Nurse is a top tier killer it all depends on how the player plays her so she can be op and trash.
well there is no "balanced" option, considering that 4/6 options are OP and 2/6 are basicly "trash".
A good nurse has a lot of pressure and mobility, but also a lot of counter play. Imo she's fun to play against, but I'm really bad at playing her.
There is no option "Nurse is fine, but a good player can play her as if she was OP". So I chose this.
Nurse is the second most powerful killer in the game, after Spirit. Her basekit was nerfed into oblivion, so in this state, if you are average, she is only somewhat viable against potatoes. But in right hands, with Infectious and Deer Stalker and with addons for cooldown reduction she is able to kill the whole squad in few seconds. Having a match against strong Nurse-main already means that you have lost. No matter how good you are at looping or evading her hits. As someone once said: bad Nurse can be outplayed by anyone, good Nurse can be outplayed only by good players, but no one can outplay the God Nurse.
Then again, the God Nurse is pretty much able to kill everyone even without any perks or addons.
P.S. I get the joke, but why would you make it if she is an original character, who was inspired by Silent Hill's nurses only a little tiny bit?

I'm not sure I really liked any of these options
Nurse is viable .
There isn't this option so...
Anyways, being viable says a lot since she and Spirit are the only ones that enter this category.
still my baby though
I think she's miserable to play as. And, on PS4, most of the Nurses I've gone against are countered by just... running. I don't try to loop or anything fancy, I just run in a straight line and they either chase me while gens pop or they give up. The thing that really sucks about that is she falls so far behind neither of us get chase points.
I'm sure she can be good in the right player's hands, any killer can be, but it feels like trash to play her. Blinking is so damn disorienting and then there's fatigue on top of that plus she still moves super slow even though she's forced to wait for blinks to recharge.
My answer would actually be "Nurse is strong" tbh. She's not OP, she's just really strong in the right hands. I feel she is completely fine as she is.
I would have agreed with you on the old nurse, but new nurse is absolutely fine. She still needs to recharge to get her 2nd blink back, just get enough distance and LOS blocker.
She's the strongest killer atm, and likely she always will be. However due to how infrequently you encounter one that is capable of using her to her fullest potential makes her fine enough.
None of the above.
She's the strongest killer, but she's not OP. If anything she could use a few improvements.
Yeah, nurse really depends on the skill of the person playing as her.
Went with trash because she´s so unbelievably miserable to play as. Adept Nurse and 500 Blinks are the last Killer achievements I need on steam but I can´t bring myself to play her.
Nurse is fine imo. I wouldn't be opposed to making some tweaks to her power, but I don't think she's OP. She's hard to get good at, but a good Nurse player will be very strong. I think that's fine. She isn't counterable out in the open if she's good, but she's slower than base survivor speed, so breaking line of sight is entirely possible against her. Once you break line of sight you can dodge and mindgame with some success, even against a good Nurse.
She is overpowered of course and she will always be. But thats alright, im glad she is in the game and im fine with it that she can destroy every team in the game. At least when it happens to me i know it takes a lot of practice to get there.
She's a very powerful killer and I always have fun going against her because it often presents a challenge (except for the baby nurses <3 )
My problem with nurse is that if you have no walls, you're dead. Plus the fact that she can immediately blink right after landing the first hit. If you are in an open area, no amount of mindgames will save you. If you run backwards, she'll just look down and blink, and even if THAT gets her, she'll use her second blink to hit you, or lunge and knock you down. An expert nurse is guaranteed a 4k unless all survivors bring a BNP and genrush the living heck outta her.
IMO she needs one of these changes:
She's fine but very different from the rest of the cast. 5 blink and omega blink were op but they are long gone.
I still hate her cooldown and still think it was a terrible idea.
Also most of her current addons are trash except for those that reduce that cooldown.
She's fine, she's really hard to play & get good at and you rightfully get rewarded for having mastered it.
