Nurse's rework
After the Nurse's rework, her base power is fine but some addons need changes. Many of them are not runned so I wanted so suggest some possible changes, to make these addons insanely fun and useful.
COMMON ADDONS:
Wooden Horse: Moderately decreases additional post-Blink Fatigue duration applied by missed Blink Attacks. 50% decrease or 0.5 seconds. [this addon is fine and I don't wanna touch it]
White Nit Comb: Increases Bloodpoints for Blink Attack Score Events by 100 %. Moderately decreases post-Blink Lunge range.
NEW: Tremendously reduces Blink Recharge time. 50% or 1.5 seconds. Moderately decreases post-Blink Lunge range. [personally, I think giving the Nurse no cooldown on 2 blinks and removing her ability to lunge is a fair deal.]
Plaid Flannel: Allows The Nurse to see Blink Target Locations. [this addon is good for begginers so I don't want to change anything here too.]
Metal Spoon: Moderately increases Grunts of Pain Volume after hitting the Survivor with a successful post-Blink Attack. This effects lasts for 60 seconds.
NEW: Slightly increases blink maximum distance. +10% or +2 meters. [ it works as old Wooden Horse. Because it's a common addon, it has a cost by changing muscle memory but it'll be helpful while blinking across the map ]
UNCOMMON ADDONS:
Dull Bracelet: Increases Bloodpoints for Precise Blink Score Events by 100 %. Moderately decreases maximum Blink range.
NEW: Slightly increases Nurse's base movement speed. It's an increase of 3.75% up to 100%. Considerably decreases Blink maximum range. -20% or -4 meters. [ This addon was really useless, caused game just harder. Now I want to give it something more at cost of muscle memory. ]
Dark Cinture: Moderately reduces Blink Recharge time. It's a 20% reduce or 0.6 seconds. [ S tier addon, don't wanna touch it ]
Catatonic Boy's Treasure: Considerably decreases additional post-Blink Fatigue duration applied by Chain Blinks. It's a 100% > 90% decrease or 0.5 > 0.45 seconds [ I have directed the addon, that allows you to blink many times, so this one needs a slight nerf to not be too op ]
Bad Man's Keepsake: The Aura of a Survivor healing or being healed is revealed to The Nurse within 28 metres after hitting the Survivor with a successful post-Blink Attack. This effect lasts for 60 seconds.
NEW: Moderately increases blink maximum range. It's a 15% increase or +3 meters. [ Many Nurse's runs A Nurse's Calling, so this addon isn't using frequently. Because it's still not rare, it comes at cost of your muscle memory ]
Pocket Watch: Moderately increases Chain Blink Window duration.
NEW: Slightly increases Blink movement speed. Decreases reappearance time by 9%. [ This addon was one of the worst Nurse's addons. When you missed your blinks you were only able to see running away survivors. Now, this addon grants a small blink speed change, so survivors have less time to react and dodge it. It works as old White Nit Comb ]
RARE ADDONS:
Spasmodic Breath: Temporarily disables Spencer's Last Breath and increases The Nurse's base Movement speed to 4.6 m/s after hitting a Survivor with a successful post-Blink Attack.This effect lasts for 60 seconds.
NEW: Increases Nurse's base movement speed to 4.2 m/s. Removes 1 blink charge. [ This addon was funny, but I want to give something more, so I'm replacing Matchbox with Spasmodic Breath. ]
Heavy Panting: Considerably increases maximum Blink range. Considerably increases Blink Charge time. [ this addon is strong, and there's no point to nerf it by changing muscle memory. ]
Fragile Wheeze: Considerably reduces Blink Recharge time. [ this addon is strong too, and I don't wanna touch it ]
Ataxic Respiration: Moderately decreases post-Blink Fatigue duration. [ still nothing to change ]
Anxious Gasp: Blinking past a Survivor causes them to scream and awards 200 Bloodpoints in the Deviousness Category.
NEW: Moderately increases Blink movement speed. Decreases reappearance time by 12%. [ Just slightly better Pocket Watch ]
VERY RARE ADDONS:
Kavanagh's Last Breath: Tremendously increases maximum Blink range. Tremendously increases Blink Charge time. [ very good addon, no need to change anything ]
Jenner's Last Breath: After Blinking, allows The Nurse to immediately Blink back to her original position by pressing the Active Ability Button. This effect must be triggered before The Nurse succumbs to post-Blink Fatigue.
NEW: Moderately increases maximum Blink distance. +15% or +3 meters. Moderately decreases Blink Recharge time. -20% or -0.6 seconds. [ this addon is the most useless and definitely needs a rework. Slight punishment is changed muscle memory ]
Campbell's Last Breath: After reappearing from a fully charged Blink, The Nurse immediately Blinks at half charge in the direction she is currently facing. [ this addon is insanely fun to run so I don't wanna change anything ]
"Bad Man's" Last Breath: Grants The Nurse the Undetectable Status Effect after hitting a Survivor with a successful post-Blink Attack. This effect lasts for 16 seconds and may only be triggered once every 60 seconds.
NEW: Adds 1 blink charge. Blinks are restricted to locations in Nurse's line of sight. Does not stack with additional blink addons. [ I want to make survivors think, which addon the Nurse has. This is worse one, because you can't blink everywhere and through every object. ]
ULTRA RARE ADDONS:
Torn Bookmark: Adds 1 Blink Charge. Blinks are restricted to locations in Nurse's line of sight.
NEW: Adds 1 Blink Charge. Slightly decreases Blink maximum range. -10% or -2 meters. Does not stack with additional blink addons. [ Much better 3rd blink addon with slightly changed muscle memory ]
Matchbox: Increases The Nurse's Movement speed to 4.2 m/s. Removes 1 Chain Blink Charge.
NEW: Removes Nurse's cooldown on her power. Grants her total amout of 5 blink charges. The Nurse can still lunge but cannot walk. [ this addon finally would be very interesting and fun to run. You would be able to play 5 blink Nurse that only blinks to move. It could be really punishing because usually Nurse walks to get the line of sight during recharge. In this case, you cannot walk and to get the line of sight, you have to be very precise and blink to the correct places with the limited amount of your blinks ]
interesting addon combos:
- "Bad Man's" Keepsake with Metal Spoon is kind of worse omegablink that is difficult to control and precise blinking is harder.
- Spasmodic Last Breath with Dull Bracelet grants you very weak 1 blink, that only helps you avoiding pallets, windows but you are faster than T1 Myers and slower than the Spirit.
- Pocket Watch with Anxious Gasp grants you very fast blinks.
- Catatonic Boy's Treasure with Matchbox allows you to blink 5 times with a decenlty short fatigue.
- Torn Bookmark with Jenner's Last Breath grants you toxic 3 blinks, faster recharge speed with a little more range and that feels just right.
- White Nit Comb with Dull Bracelet makes you as fast as survivor and grants you very fast recharge with weaker blinks and no lunge.
Hope you guys enjoy these changes. I was thinking about possible Nurse's addons rework and this is my idea. Write in the comment section what would you like to change in Nurse's addons and what do you think about it! Love you guys!

I stopped reading at "After the Nurse rework, her power is fine"
It has not been fine since her rework. Half the blinks glitch or fail to go through obstacles.

Man, her base power is balanced
0 -
Attempting to balance nurse in her current state isn’t possible
0 -
A power that works only 50% of the time is balanced? Her power was balanced BEFORE her rework. Ever since they gave her a cd her power barely works. That's why she has the lowest pick rate. I don't like the CD but I can live with that provided the blinks worked when I used them. As of now her blinks don't work so her power is not balanced.

Maybe you are wrong, maybe I am but they still can search for some ideas how make this game more interesting

True just nurses power is super hard to make addons for hence why hers are so boring
0 -
If you say that, it means you never tried to main her (not play her for 3 days, I mean, play her for an entire month at least). Every serious Nurse main would 4k at least 90% of their games. She's fine, I had a hard time to learn how to play her, now I can literally manage the survivors hooks for them while winning at the same time.

She is my 2nd main. I know how to play her. When I use her I'm fighting the blink mechanics more than the survivors.
The reason you 4k 90% of your games as Nurse is because most survivors are potatoes who only know how to loop pallets. Pallets don't work against the Nurse. Heaven forbid they adapt for once.

Don't think I only meet potatoes since I'm rank 1 for ages :p
"Fighting" as you say blinks mechanic is the thing that allows you, as a player, to always improve when you player her, I love that, and blinks are sometimes bugged (blinking above is pretty bugged, even if I think it's more than human misunderstanding, otherwise I'm confident while saying blinking is somewhat consistant), but now I know how to play her I know where I have to be cautious while blinking, it's a matter of experience.
But hey
She's bugged uh ? Why does every experienced killer say she's the strongest killer in the game ? Why do OhTofu and SupaAlf 4k with Nurse every game ? Tell me ?

She's the strongest killer in the game because the survivors 1 trick pony doesn't work on her. I think that is the reason the devs have ignored her bugs for so long. Against a god nurse there's nothing you can do except gen rush. Those god nurses are only a handful. Against an good nurse you stand a fair chance provided your breaking los instead of treating her like a M1 killer.
and if you want to drag streamers into this. Otz and Ardetha released videos like a week ago playing as Nurse. Their power bugged every 5 blinks. Considering she literally needs her power to even catch survivors that's a pretty big bug. One time DS was bugged and they patched that within a week. It's been what? A year and a half since Nurse's rework and BHVR hasn't even acknowledged there's a problem.
If we want to go by their charts Nurse is the least picked killer. Does that mean we should buff her? :P
