Nurse should have one blink

Is nurse even that hard to use...?

In my opinion: No.

Is she harder than others? Yes, but not that much at least to me.

She DOES take the most skill but when people are like

"well yeah she has that UNFATHOMABLY high skill cap only like 10 people are good at her"

Why?

I truly believe no killer needs nerfing. In fact, every killer needs to be buffed. Surviving is meant to be hard. This game wasn't meant to be balanced. The killer is supposed to win. Surviving has become so easy that people lost sight of what this game was supposed to be.

nurse is fine. git gud

You can't play Nurse without two blinks.

You git gud.

my nurse is p3 and i have no problem with her. you are the one whining.

git gud

Your Nurse is P3 because she has two blinks. That's my point.

If you're gud, you won't mind one blink. Yet here you are whining at the suggestion.

Scared of a challenge? Sounds like you just want to use an OP killer to stomp people, then claim your skill is why it happened rather than bad game balance.

Do it with one blink then come back and talk about your 1337 sk1llz.

If you CAN do it with one blink, you prove my point - she only NEEDS one blink.

[...] If a huntress is able to 360 scope me from 30m away, I'm deadass giving that hoe a free hook. THAT IS ACTUAL SKILL LMAO. Her hitboxes aren't that broken. Hell, I'd suck bunny mom's dick if she 360'd hatchet-hit me from that far. I'd even be her #########.

If you think waving your chainsaw left-to-right with the fat man, binging your bong with cloaked boi, or pulling 4 survivors at once into your pretty dream world is skill, than you man really need to check-out. These killers are so weak it makes them laughable.

That's exactly why it IS skill.

Leatherface, Wraith and Freddy all have to legitimately win chases to get kills. They can't teleport through walls or 360 noscope with hatches from the other side of the map. They have to CHASE and WIN.

Every rank 1 Leatherface/Wraith/Freddy has ten times the skill of a Nurse (especially before emblems, when kills were required to rank-up). All of those players have something beyond the killer's innate power - they have mindgames or gameplans or counter-jukes that Nurse mains can't comprehend because all a Nurse has to do to counter a pallet-loop is press one button.

You've been playing this game on easy mode and you think you're an elite player. That's a joke. Try a weak killer and see how good you REALLY are.

Or... if you're so good... prove it by supporting the one blink Nurse idea.

Can't you kill survivors with one blink? If you can't, you need to git gud. If you can, you prove my point that Nurse doesn't NEED two blinks.

Uh... You're mistaken me for a killer user and that's funny.

Again we can see your ego present in every single comment you make.

I'll hand it to Freddy's who manage to get 4K, that's some strategic play. His power does require some strategy.

To summarize your post, it is "If you win with the weakest killers, you are more skilled than the ones using high-tier killers out there." That's not true. Put your ego aside and really take a look at the high-tier killers. I even broke it down for you in the post before, reading glasses will help you comprehend better.

There is no skill in holding M1/L2 and binging the bong. There's no skill in getting an easy chainsaw down with fat boy by holding M1. There's nothing skilled about simply holding a button when properly timed.

There is indeed skill in Nurses, Billy's, and Huntresses. The Nurse has to deal with jukes, precisely-ranged & timed blinks, dealing and knowing how to handle the fatigue, alongside with predicting movement. Her benefit is that she gets to counter the broken mechanic known as loops. As a survivor, you know how EASY it is to juke a nurse? It's actually the easiest killer to juke. Next, The Billy, and in third place the Huntress. Their powers are simply the easiest to avoid, but deadly when LEARNED how to use it right. Essentially this is making chases HARDER FOR THEM. Wow, unbelievable! Who knew having a harder power to use, would make chases more hard for them.

Their powers are not simple. Their powers are not placing a trap down for 3 seconds, or simply waving your chainsaw by holding a button. They require setting up and knowing the perfect time to use them. Not just simply pressing a button to attack and letting the animation do your job for you.

You sound like an insidious Leatherface to me, truthfully.

Edit: No, I don't support the one nurse blink idea. She is perfectly viable with one blink, but I don't support making it her base amount of blinks. That's dumb? Her first blink is usually meant to be used as closing in for range, and the second to secure the hit. That's what makes her fun to use! You know she's slower than the survivor itself right? You know she can't even pass through most objects, right? It just sounds like you want her nerfed because you typically get outplayed by her. Her skill cap is where most killers skill cap should stand, removing her second blink would tremendously lower that and in no way do I want to support that when killers are already weak to begin with.

It also could be said that no other killer main can comprehend the mind games nurse mains have to play considering how different chases are for them

Once again over-blowing nurse like she's some incomprehensible killer. It's not that hard.

I don’t she believe is incomprehensible I was making a point. Not to you so your opinion isn’t needed or cared for here. Don’t @ me anymore buddy

I don't even need to say anything. Just read it. No context needed.

Immediately going to name calling shows a lot of "Maturity"

@ThePloopz said:
@Shadowchao121 idk if you can see it but there’s a part where it says “ I was making a point” now tell me who was I making that point to and why did I say that to them using those specific words? Oh wait you can’t smh you say you don’t need context though lol what a fool and btw I just call it like I see it. If someone’s pathetic I call them pathetic. If someone is an ass I call them an ass. I just call it like I see. Goodnight sir quit your #########

Do you understand the English language? When using the word "Considering" it means "Bearing in mind" Which very plainly shows assumption of validity.
I don't assume you're a dumb/ignorant/whatever person i simply made a point about players trying to put The Nurse on a pedestal and act like only 10 people can truly play her correctly.

You @/quoted nobody meaning it is open to the discussion. As in not a direct reply to a given statement.

-Increasing her base speed to that of regular killers - No because her blinks make up for it. She originally (As Im aware) did have the regular base speed but needed a nerf. Might be wrong on that_
-Increase her lunge range (if not blinking) -_ Already done_.
-Slightly increase her FOV when fatigued  - No, because the fatigue was a nerf to begin with._**

[Nerfs]
-Slightly decrease her blinking range - Already did and originally she had 3 blinks at base. Now she has 2.
-Allow her to be stunned if blinking through a pallet - Already did that.

Every time I go up against a nurse I think to myself, "Uh oh, 4 kill incoming". That only happens sometimes. Most nurses aren't good enough, even with ruin, to get a 4 kill on a regular basis. Against a really good nurse it is game over even for the best survivor team. I don't see where she could or should be changed.

I totally disagree on reducing her to 1 blink at base, because the 2nd blink is essential to deal with a survivor that can do something more than running in a straight line.
Imo the Nurse is considerable OP only when she has 3+ blinks because she can correct almost any mistakes. Otherwise a 2 blink Nurse is quite balanced if you know how to juke her.

Honestly can we all just admit that playing The Nurse isn't actually all that hard?

@TrumpJunior said:
That’s utter garbage, sorry, especially the stun while blinking through a pallet is something that completely breaks her.
Whoever made this decision at BHVR should be fired.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't find it happening that often. lol

It's already in the game (I'm pretty sure), and it hasn't changed Nurse's viability, from what I can tell.

The nurse is not overpowered at all, if you play sole survivor with killer friendly perks and verse a good nurse, you most likely all gonna die.

If you play full swf with flashlights, decisive strike, sprint burst or dead hard, you get away with atleast two people, if you are good.

They should make her noob-friendlier (Show where the blink lands) and don't reward her when hitting a player (the weapon swipe is replaced with a normal fatigue).
Maybe reduce the blinks to max 3.

She needs a buff-ish nerf so people get used to her faster and don't have to main her, allowing people to play other killers too.
In general killers are in need of a giant buff.

They do need more killers with a bit higher skill cap.

They also need a couple more higher end killers.

Nurse, Billy, Huntress

Those are very much the top 3 killers in that order. There's also a nice gap between Nurse and Billy.

The Clown has potential to be up there with the Huntress. Personally I think he's right below or equal to her.

She's fine with 2 blinks and when she gets 3 she's a nightmare with the addon in a good or better nurses hands. But as @thesuicidefox said blinking through walls is an issue especially when she can go through an entire building at once. Perhaps giving her a quick fatigue when she goes through a wall would help and the more walls she goes through the longer the fatigue. The fatigue wouldn't trigger until after 1-2 seconds like normal which would still give her the chance to attack.

Something I did notice on both Macmillan Estates and ones like it where the walls have corners with map area on other side. She can't blink through the void in between those sections not even if it's on a corner.Autohaven is another similar map that.

I think that if the nurse ever gets nerfed again, it should be after the survivors have been nerfed first and some of the other killers have been buffed. Then we'll see where she stands but, as for now, I see no immediate need to nerf her. As for skill caps, every killer has their own challenges but the nurse does have more of a skill ceiling. As for killers like Wraith, Hag, or Freddy, their core mechanics are easy to grasp but they have so little tools to utilize that it does take a good amount of skill to perform well with them in higher ranks. I agree that they should be buffed and increasing their skill cap would be a welcome change as well.
