Tired of overpowered Nurse

pretty much everything you say is true...

but Nurse is extremely hard to learn. Something isn't overpowered if it requires skill to use, which Nurse does. If Nurse had no punishment for blinking or missing an attack after blinking, she'd be overpowered because mistakes would not matter and anyone could use her.

Listen, I am one of the first to call out OP killers where I see 'em. But Nurse definitely does have counterplay. Break line of sight and don't be predictable. If you follow through with your run around a loop the first time, don't do it the second time and double back on her when she teleports. Also I don't feel as bad when I get demolished by a really good PC Nurse because I know that Nurse lost a ######### ton of games before she got good.

Spirit (With Stridor) and Freddy have no counterplay. Focus on them instead.

Well she's very hard but not actually mobile. Yes she can teleport and go through walls, and the wall part actually saves a bit of time, but outside of chases she doesn't patrol the map faster than 4.6 killers. Her range and fatigue is about equal to a walking 4.6 killer and in a straight line (or without blinking through walls) she doesn't catch up any faster to someone running away.

She also isn't affected by regular looping so pallets don't matter; usually a killer will have easier chases towards the end if the survivors used a lot of pallets while the nurse is looped the same all game long.

The game is usually decided by her skill level but also the experience of the survivors. There aren't that many nurse so most survivors don't have as much experience as they should against her. The game is played a lot differently with a nurse than other killers, so regular tactics don't work and then you get complaints for this exact reason.

So no killer should be able kill a squad of 2K+ hour survivors on coms.

Glad we can define a ceiling for killers.

a couple of things:

1) this isnt really a bad thing imo. if anything, this just proves that other killers seem to be lacking something Nurse has - just because you decide to play a 4 man sweat SWF should not mean you get a guaranteed escape every game.

2.1) toxicity has nothing to do with your choice of character. Its about the way a player chooses to play the game. Not every Nurse you see it automatically toxic, just because they picked Nurse.

2.2) an extremely experienced Nurse is not only the strongest killer in the game, its also by far the rarest killer you'll ever see. Nurse in general is extremely rare in the first place, and even when you get one you usually just have a decent to good level of Nurse, which is definitely beatable.

2.3) her map mobility has been nerfed quite hard with her nerf.

2.4) saying she had no counterplay is simply false. yes, she is very dominant throughout chases and has above average map pressure, but thats it. she is lacking in the both, the game slow down and tracking aspect of the game, which can be used against her. In fact, her tracking is way below average, due to the fatigue she receives after every blink, therefore avoiding her LoS is a lot easier than with other killers - in short, her counterplay is stealth. she cant kill what she cant see.

3.1) in solo q a vast majority of killers becomes almost impossible to escape from, given that the rest of your team is usually rank 21.

3.2) a killer punishing YOUR mistakes can not be held against them. you are the one that screwed up, now you gotta live with the consequences. honestly, i generally think more killers should be able to exploit a survivors mistake more than they currently can. though i would generally say that a Nurse isnt really one of those killers that exploit your mistakes - at least not in chases. she has the power she needs to not be reliant on you screwing up to win.

3.3) the exact same argument with the mistakes can also be made for the Nurse. any tiny mistake with her can easily cost you the blink, leading to a fatigue and you losing a lot of ground on the survivor.

4) she literally has a cooldown

also one thing i would like to add:

Nurse is currently riddled with bugs. from charging your blink but actually not charging it and then having to wait out the blink animtion, but not actually blinking, over not being able to blink through things / blinking in locations you never wanted to blink to, all the way to the game not registering your click, not allowing you to attack, letting survivors get away when you should have hit them.

this is also the main reason why you almost never see Nurses. she is extremely punishing towards players that havent reached perfection yet, however these bugs constantly force mistakes on you that shouldnt have happened, which just sucks the fun out of the character for both new and old players.

before we can talk about nerfing her, we need to fix her first.

Boohoo you can’t loop a nurse

Get good
