Would adding a lot of LoS-blocker nerf Nurse out of S-tier?

The thing about nurse is that most of the people who play with her to the point that she’s S tier will still be able to predict survivors fairly easily since they probably got hundreds of hours on nurse. The only way I see something like that really affecting nurse is it’ll make her harder to learn but I still think she’ll easily be the best killer in the game.

Making her harder to learn isn't what I'd propose personally. If you wanted to change her I'd re-balance her kit to make her slightly faster walking but limiting her blink range and speed more but only after bugs are fixed. I genuinely feel Nurse shouldn't have addons and that's the only way she is fair to play against. Granted all things considered I wouldn't change her at all as she currently is basekit.

I play Nurse without addons to clarify - I'd personally delete all her non meme addons. She doesn't need them.

Gatekeeping Nurse to only the best of the best is only going to allow those insanely good players to be frustrating to play against and deny any fun Nurse players from existing.

Yeah pretty much can't do much without the power without deleting it. Only thing I'd genuinely do as said though is remove any addons that make her power stronger in any regard.

That would probably require them to create a completely unique way for nurses bloodweb to work and let’s be real if they did that they’d probably accidentally remove huntresses hatchets or something

You see... Even tho' Nurse does not benefit that much from "looping" nerfing loop would buff her regardless... Less terrain to blink through, less LoS... I really don't think we need to either nerf her or bring the roster up to par... How many real good Nurses you face in a daily basis? I don't think I get 1. And I'd rather get wooped by a good Nurse than lose to a stridor spirit...

Indoor maps already do this, add any more los-blockers and the game will become a labyrinth.

So no, I don't think it'll make her weaker for as long as her base mechanic remains the same.

All this will do is that it'll force nurse players to become better at predicting where the survivor will be; it'll only give them a rough patch at first but people will get used to it.

The nature of her power already requires for her to predict where the survivor will be whether she sees them or not; it's just a bit harder to do when there is no los.

I think there's a better way.

Nurse becomes a problem due to being able to correct a mis-blink with her second blink. At some point, you're not gonna be able to double-juke her, and she will catch up. This is also why the double blink recharge add-on combo is quite popular, it means you can always do a double-blink.

So my suggestion would be: Increase blink recharge time by X% (Maybe 20, 25?) but then also make it so that if you don't have any blink charges, it recharges faster to compensate. This keeps the single blink on the same cooldown, but makes a double blink-whiff slightly more punishing.

Or just have double blink incur a slight recharge penalty. Either way, having double blinks specifically be punished a little harder.

There are already a lot of LOS blockers on maps that survivors can use against Nurse. Most survivors just choose not to utilize them. There are filler tiles at the edges of nearly every map in addition to the regular tiles you would use against regular killers. I always caution against balancing around less skilled players, because it causes a lot of power creep in more skilled matches. Adding more LOS blocks wouldn't necessarily even nerf Nurse against the average player because the average player has no clue how to run a Nurse in the first place. It would just make her even harder to play against a skilled survivor.
