Small Nurse Change

Its pretty obvious Nurse is the best killer in the game and has no counterplay. Alright so you know how Plaid Flanal ad on shows Nurse where her blink is going. I think that same animation should be on survivor point of view so they can see where her blink is going. I think this would give her actual counterplay Thoughts?

    One this doesn't address anything since all since nurse mains DON'T USE IT.

    Two this is a purely spiteful change as this is solely to let survivor stomp newer nurses who'd need the addon to even be able to play the killer.

    The killer wouldn't have to use the ad on Survivors would see the Animation all the time

    That's frankly ridiculous as nurse would never land a blink..nah

    I cannot believe that I'm seeing this.

    No counterplay? Oh my god.

    Maybe survivors should glow bright red when ds is active. Besides most nurses don’t use that add on anyway

    I regard the Plaid Flannel as a "teaching addon", something that's there to help newbies to the Killer learn to use her power more effectively. The last thing such an Addon should do is also alert the Survivors to her directions.

    ^ I 100% guarantee you this player logged on to Nurse one time after being rolled by an experienced Nurse with thousands of hours of gameplay wanting to do the same thing. Came on here having failed miserably at Nurse and /OMG_NURSE_OP_BORING_KILLER_NO_COUNTER_PLAY.exe


    • I used Plaid Flannel for the first couple of weeks so I could get an idea about her base distancing. (this is a Nurse training wheel addon essential for new Nurses)
    • I then packed my Plaid Flannel away for far better addons having learnt her base distancing.


    If they were to show Nurse blink location to Survivors only if the Nurse has the Plaid Flannel addon all it does is punish new Nurses learning the ropes making it even more difficult and unlikely that they will bridge the extremely high skill gap required to grasp even the basics of muscle memory required to wield her correctly.

    This in turn would mean the only Nurses you would ever encounter would be god Nurses which you would STILL complain about, grasping at straws asking for more nerfs which will never happen because you cant nerf skill.

    If they were to show Survivors and lets be fair to show Nurses where blink location was going to be to regardless of weather or not she had her Plaid Flannel added, (essentially removing the need for it as an addon) nobody would play Nurse.

    Which is after all your desired outcome. To nerf all Killers to the point where none of them are viable any more and all we're left with is an empty lobby simulator.

    Why? who knows. Some people want their easy-mode so much they are willing to blow up their entire game to get it. Some of us just enjoy the challenge, push through and adapt regardless.

    I do believe plaid flannel should be base-kit since when you already trained your muscle memory it's like you already have it. And besides. knowing where you will land doesn't mean you will know how to hit a survivor.
