Nurse is bad for dbd.

Then again I've only played against a handful of nurses

There are not many really good Nurses in the game, but those who are, basically dont lose. And there is nothing easier than winning against a bad Nurse. Good Nurses also dont swing, which gives them a longer fatique, so the distance gained against a good Nurse is worse than against a bad Nurse.

Before her Rework, it was possible to compensate the lack of skill with Nurse by using more Blinks and/or Range Add-Ons, also one of the reasons why you saw more Nurse-Players.

But as I said before, highly unlikely that the number of good Nurses will increase, because a) she still has Bugs (which are known and being worked on) and b) there is not really a point in learning her, when you dont need her to win games. You can basically 4K with every Killer, and Killers like Spirit or Freddy are far easier to pick up with similar results.

Nurse has the lowest kill percentage of all killers in both all ranks and high ranks. Yes, she's nigh on unbeatable in the right hands at the right maps, but she has weaknesses you can exploit to gain an upperhand. And she is -so- hard to learn that most of the playerbase cannot play her against a competent team. There should be a 'hardest killer' for sure, and if you put in the time to get -very- good with that killer, you should do well for the most part.

I feel like Blight is bordering into a similar terrain, though to a far lesser extent. I believe extremely difficult killers with a high reward are the most fun to play, and as survivor I also love going against Nurses because it's fun to test them, and if you find them struggling, you can really feel the power in outplaying the strongest killer in the wrong hands.

This is hilarious. Nobody has the time to become a good nurse. The few tournament level spent thousands of hours with her... And they don't win every time.

I had 2 people in my last match (which was ironically as nurse for the first time in probably a month). Killed themselves on first hook. Then I got a dm saying it's nothing personal just a nurse thing.

What's hilarious is I'm a HORRIBLE nurse they would've easily beaten me.

Also what is this "instant win ability" ? She has a rare add-on that's sole purpose is making people scream when you blink through them... Her iridescent add-ons nerf her. So what are you actually talking about?

Edit: one other thing. If she blinks, swings and has a pallet dropped on her, she goes through the pallet stun then the blink/swing fatigue. That is almost 2 DS worth of stun for timing a pallet drop right!!!

You seem to be under the assumption that you always see survivors during your chases which couldn't be further from trurth. Good survivors will always get at least some LOS cover or another obstacle that forces nurse to predict what they'll do next. If you get close enough and have LOS, yes you don't need to predict anything (as long as your blink accuracy is good) and can reactionary blink hit survivors for free but no good survivor will loop nurse in a place where that's possible.

I've faced really good nurses and main difference between them and bad nurses is that they were able to predict survivor pathing far better then the bad ones.

I completely love to face good nurses, there isn't a single killer who's chase mechanics I enjoy more. You're free to dislike her but she definetly creates new chase gameplay even versus a good one, you have a lot of stuff you can do to beat her without relying on stealth.

This is on Almos Profile:

"We're aware of bugs in Nurse gameplay. They're on the list, we're working through it and fixing stuff as we can. The base kit rework is something we're happy with at the moment. When I play Nurse and miss a double blink and then can't again for a bit to get the second charge, it feels like the Survivor deserves that extra space. This doesn't mean it won't get further tuning, but it's unlikely we'd remove the charge system."

I mean, you can still doubt it. But I can only tell what I have seen written.

Its totally fine if Killers are complex and strong. Blight is an example, Huntress as well, even tho, she is not super-strong or compareable to Freddy or Spirit. Freddy on the other hand is strong and not complex at all.

But Nurse is over the top, because she ignores everything the Survivor has as defense. And like I said in my other post, she would not be released today and thinking that the concept of Nurse is fine, is simply not correct. Like, back in the days when Nurse got released, they had Infinites, no Window Blockers, way more Pallets, perma-sabotaged Hooks and all the stuff which got removed. So people who brought in this broken stuff also brought in Nurse.

I'm just starting to learn her, and in early stages it is very easy to be crap at her :D.

When she's played by a good player, then it's still possible to out-play her. She has to predict where you go and vice versus, so it's not non-mindgameable. But it's tough. & fun.

I won't go deeper into this since we would be here forever arguing about our different opinions reaching no solid conclusion. You're free to see nurse in that way, I find her to have more then enough chase counterplay as she is.

Still it makes me wonder if your gameplay of nurse is as straightforward as you claim it is. It sounds like you never get outplayed by any survivor you've chased ever while also never predicting meaning you never miss a blink by survivor's imput.

Would it be too much of a bother to play a few matches with me in custom game ? I love facing good nurses so I'd love to see your gameplay if I can ever juke you. I'm definetly not the best survivor but if you wouldn't mind I'd like to see how you play her to understand your point a bit better.

Are you a good nurse? you make it seem like nurse is such a piece of cake to play as. Since her nerf /rework i've seen only handfull of nurses and only 2 of them actually performed well ( with addons of course). I would like to challenge you to down me with your nurse. Should be easy, since nurse is basicly ez mode right? We play perkless and addonless.

As someone who mainly plays survivor I love going against the nurse. With her my group actually has to be careful, we have to plan better knowing if they are a good nurse we are dead, if their halfway decent and we make a mistake we are dead.

If they are new or struggling okay we've got this but only to a point, because again even a terrible nurse can get you if you screw up. We don't feel this way about many killers.

I have never seen the nurse on a map and gone, okay we've got this business as usual, so and so loop them, Ive got gens, so and so help the solo que player. I've also never gone, oh its the nurse, we're done, try your hardest, but we already lost this (cough *Spirit* cough). Shes middle ground for my group and we love her.

Also we've pallet stuned her, looped her and countered her, it just takes time and practice coming across a nurse who's obviously new and farming with them so they and you learn. It takes custom matches with friends and playing against people who know what their doing.

We still get murdered by a good nurse, but unless we do something stupid, like last night, my friends and I lost a round in 2 minutes to a nurse because mistakes were made, we can knock out a decent amount of the gens and sometimes even escape.

So personally I love her. I'm glad she's in the game, she's unique and I'm glad we have people who took the time to learn to play her.

Let's nerf a killer that's barely played and has one of the Kill ratio of the game. How many nurse do you encounter in your games? At around rank 1-4 I can safely say i might see 2 in a month , I think 1 month I saw 4 and i was ######### is going one here, must be a dai ly thing.

I just started mainning her because everytime i would face one, she would destroy me and i get it, it does feel like you could do nothing about it but it's just far from the truth, you just can't do to a pallet and t hink you are safe, because pallet don't do jack vs her 99% of the time, you need to play a different way, and that's where lies the problem, just like with spirit, some survivors just want to play a certain way and that's it, run fro safe pallet to safe pallet and that's it.

So i get it why some of you guys want to nerf her, but she already was nerfed, she's different and always will be, without changing her power there's nothing they can do, she negates,walls/pallet and window, that's her kit, but it has massive ######### drawback, one of the steepest learning curve in the game and the games you are bad at nurse will make you want to never play her again because you just feel helpless, at least other killer you can just press W and eventually you'll hit them, not so with nurse.

Don't touch Mrs.Smithson, she's the most rewarding killer once you get a hang of her.

The Nurse is a fantastic killer, unlike the Doctor (jokes 😁). I really like Nurses no matter if they are really good or bad. I respect players that decide to play the Nurse. She is a killer that heavily punish you if you miss a hit or fail a blink but once you play cool and think what you are doing (no matter if the survivors finished 3 gens in less than 2 minutes) she rewards you like no other killer. I remember that I almost cried of joy when I could gen grab 2 survivors in the same match (they survived anyway 🤣).
