Stop saying nurse mains are good
I just played nurse, for about 3 weeks, and I instantly got into top %, and destroy survivors honestly every single match unless its lerys or coldwind. Nurse isn't that hard, she even takes less skills than any other killer such as pig and spirit, if you don't trust me you can try her, she needs a nerf, even as a rank 1 it is extremely sweaty to play against a purple rank nurse, she is more broken than anyone.

Then show us your games since you are apparently really good with her. If not, then don't bother posting these types of threads.

...care to post a video of some gameplay? I gotta see your skills. Im working on my nurse personally i only have 500 hours on her. Rank 1 killer and survivor 6000 hours i am always looking to forward my skills.

Ah ######### you beat me! I can never be original because you all are so fast!

Playing on PC instead of Switch, I’ve found Nurse kind of easy to pick up. I had more issues initially with Spirit. Trickster seems way more technically difficult to me than Nurse and that’s just my own experience.

The Nurse is by far the weakest killer in the game. There are myths and legends about her which are mostly false based on the original prototype of the nurse. Nowadays, people who play her are essentially playing on ultra difficulty mode. Most people respect that. The official company statistics bear this out. She has the lowest kill and lowest sacrifice rate overall. I don't know why people literally lie and try to say otherwise. Even in red ranks the Nurse's sacrifice rate was almost identical to the clown when the clown was almost brand new. The nurse has even been out much longer than the clown. And she is still essentially the weakest killer.

Did this guy just say Nurse takes less skill than Spirit? Either you are just really new to this game or you are telling big lies.
7 -
At least when playing spirit you need to be able to listen carefully and follow scratch marks, but nurse? just press m2 and kill survivors.
What mind games do you need to do at a pallet loop and nurse? none
What knowledge you need for controlling gens as nurse? None. Because you can honestly blink towards the gens with a higher speed than billy.
Im pretty sure you have never actually been in a high red rank match.

Hmmm sounds like a survivor main in disguise to me lol.

Good hearing and basic game sense is all you need for Spirit. It’s really not that hard to play her considering that you can also just stand still and the survivors will come right to you. Nurse requires a lot of aim and precision with blinks. If you miss a blink by a little bit you’re punished with a fatigue and survivor making more distance while you also continue to chase them as a 3.85 killer for 3 additional seconds. If you miss a phase walk by 4 meters then you’re not punished at all because she has no stun coming out of her power.

Yes a video like others have said

I know I’m known for hating nurse but this is just BS

You can make personal attacks all you want. All you have to do is look up the actual statistics which show nurse has the lowest kill rate.

What other metric is there to judge how weak or strong a killer is besides sacrifice percent rates?
0 -
"be able to listen carefully and follow scratch marks"
ah yes, you must have the ability to see and hear the extremely loud feng moaning
also epic dodging video proof
i am extremely doubtful that in less than a month you got into the top 1%
7 -
I don't say Spirit mains are good and they always get the 4k easily
I say Nurse mains are good because they actually had to put in the effort
4 -
"unless its lerys or coldwind"
well then you aren't in the top % of nurse, coldwind is basically an open playground for nurse as long as you can slightly see through the corn and predict people
also top % is more of a realative term, there isn't really a measure as its more of a spectrum of how good of a nurse you are
if you want an actually measure of top percentage of rattata then maybe it can be considered if you are on the top 150 of the leaderboard, and the minimum to be on it is 23,656 blink attacks so good luck getting there anytime soon

Even red rank nurses are very weak overall. I don't know why people need to make personal attacks against me for citing actual statistics. But this is just the way the world is now. If you actually look up the statistics which is very easy to do the nurse is extremely weak--almost pathetically and pitifully so.
1 -
she’s easy to play. sorry nurse mains, you’re not good for blinking through walls, past pallets/vaults, negating distance. things that other killers need to work around or break. they are also not good for predicting people, it’s easy to predict survivors if you play both sides.

Please upload a video, I want to see your amazing Nurse

Playing Nurse is essentially a different game mode. If that's all you do, it won't seem hard because you learn. What makes it hard is that other killer skills don't carry over. I can't chase/M1 with nurse like I can with any other killer, I either learn to use her power well or lose.
But if I played any killer for 3 weeks, I'd get way better at them. Even so, Nurse takes a lot skill and is easy to fail on.

ArcticGirl36 is correct. There are a few fallacies brought up by others in this thread on which I'd like to comment. I won't use poster names as who said the fallacies is not important.
One: Statistics on kills do not tell the whole story, even though nurse is extremely difficult to use.
Answer: They do actually tell the whole story because somebody who can get very good at nurse can actually get better at the stronger killers if they wanted. In fact, many of the best nurses who are used as examples of nurse strength played the game for thousands of hours, and the only thing one can infer from such a person playing nurse is they enjoy it. When someone gets so good at this game, it's natural to pick something more challenging to play well. This does not make nurse stronger. It arguably makes nurse more fun at high levels of expertise. But the statistics across all ranks do tell the actual and whole truth
Two: But nurses are strong because they can best defeat groups of survivors using voice communications to let each other know where the killer is.
Answer: This does not mean the nurse is strongest. It means these teams in question are terrible and rely so much on their voice warnings that they become inferior to solo survivors who learn to do well without the assistance of voice and team practice.
Three: But there are so-and-so nurse players who can annihilate anyone they want at will
Answer: Just because a very good killer can use a rolled up newspaper to kill somebody does not make the rolled up newspaper a better weapon than a knife. The rolled up newspaper is far weaker. It may, however, be more fun.

If this isn't a bait post, I kinda agree that her difficulty is so ######### overrated it's absurd, but she is still one of the hardest killers to learn if that even means anything in a game as mechanically simple as DbD. But to say a main of that killer isn't a good player is just a whack statement to make. Of course they're good, they've played the character enough to be proficient with them, no matter how easy or hard that character is, the player is probably good at the game.

Didn't take me long to pick up Nurse either, but does that mean I mastered her? no. Am I a better Nurse than I was before? absolutely. If some one puts the time into learning Nurse, (which most people don't even attempt to learn her), she becomes the easiest killer to play in the game
0 -
I find her difficult and nauseating to play. So anybody who who can play her well is skillful in my eyes. shrug
Also... if she's so easy to play, why is her kill rate so garbage?
3 -
So with your logic all these top tier tournament teams are full of "bad players" because they lose to nurse? The nurse is the only killer that can ignore all of your safety and instantly clap you up, the reason the nurse doesn't have a high kill or pick rate is because she's hard to master and people get bullied so much when they try her out that they give her up all together and pick an easier killer to learn , I've played nurse for years and I can't remember the last time I actually lost a match with her its been quite a while , I started playing oni and the twins more recently just to switch things up and because not alot of people play as twins and I'm sure people would enjoy the game.

Oh, I forgot to add the red ranks. Nurse is still lagging.....

@IOIOO I agree with you 100%.
I was able to pick nurse up in about 5 games, and since then every game is a cake walk. I'm not even amazing with her, but I'd be beating a dead horse if I invested any amount of time improving with her. I'm better than the competition, and at this point nurse is so easy that I find her boring to play as.
Slap on both her Blink Recharge Add-Ons and she's a joke--you get both your blinks back before she finishes fatigue.
---
All that said... people come into this game from different backgrounds, and what comes naturally for one might not come naturally for another.
Just because I only need 5 games to learn Nurse, doesn't mean that everyone will.

I need to see this gameplay I still can't play Nurse.

Clearly you don’t play Nurse

I really hope this is bait, but just in case it isn't...
Those statistics you're quoting are not reliable at all. There are far too many variables that determine the outcome of a match for those stats to mean anything:
How good was the killer?
How good were the survivors?
Were meta builds used or meme perks used?
What add-ons did the killer use?
What items did the survivors bring in?
Big map or small map?
Is the killer on console or pc? Or switch?
I could go on but hopefully you get the point. Those statistics should not be used to judge how good a killer is. Going by stats, Pig is one of the best killers in the game. But it's common knowledge that Pig is NOT one of the best killers. Go watch SupaAlf on youtube. He's a 5-6 thousand hour nurse main and he's insane.

Hi, BrokenSoul. I hope you're well. It's true one of your comments was part of what I addressed, but you're overlooking the whole of my contentions. Some posters here, including you, are giving anecdotal evidence to argue a bigger picture.
I will use real life history as a concrete correlative. Have you heard of Miyamoto Musashi, a very famous samurai from around year 1600. He is known to have fought around 70 real duels and much more, but often, including in duels, he used a wooden sword against his opponents who were using real swords.
By the rules of this thread as many would have us believe them, that would make the wooden sword the best weapon in the game.
What my point is that it does not make the wooden sword the best weapon. It makes Miyomoto Musashi the best swordsman.
Likewise, if someone dominates with a Nurse, it does not make the Nurse character the strongest killer. It makes the player the strongest player.
Look, seriously I have no interest in persuading you and others who so firmly believe in your anecdotal evidence. I'm fine with that and hope you are all happy, honestly. I simply was inclined to join the conversation, and now I've said my piece, and you've said your piece, and all is well :)
*Bows*

Laughs What rules? People have a misunderstanding of the rules of the game if one of the killers created by the developers is breaking them.
I appreciate the fun comment, however :) Thanks.

Hi, The_Krapper. We do not disagree on the premises. We disagree on the conclusions.
If a team of survivors can beat all types of killers except nurse, that is a weakness on the team and not the killer character.
Likewise, if a nurse player beats everyone, that is the credit of the player and not the nurse.
The nurse does not break rules. She is her own style with her own strengths and weaknesses.
Across the board the nurse is the weakest killer, proven by statistics. One cannot take specific examples to refute a generalization. That is an informal fallacy of logic.
Again, we do not disagree on the premises. But I contend the premises do not indicate the conclusion you think they indicate.

You know this is a unpopular opinion, but I agree nurse isn't that hard to use. I'm not that great with her, because I have like almost no time into her at all, but when I do pick her up I usually 4k with her pretty easily. I feel like other killers such as Trickster, Huntress, Clown, and few others require a lot more mechanical skill, and a lot more knowledge of tiles. While Nurse requires some mechanical skill, but just focuses more on knowing what survivors are going to do.

I'd have to agree. She needs a total rework because her ability is super busted no matter how you look at it. What other killer can beat going through walls?

its easy to predict both sides if you play both sides lmao

Aww, did a nurse get you when you were self-caring on the corner?
