Addonless nurse, weakest killer
It's been over a year since the nurse got a nerf (adding the charges mechanic, probably the least fun thing in the game) positioning her in the "weakest killer" spot, according to the stats at least.
Now, of course she's still S tier material if you combine skill + good map/rng + good addons, but if you're missing one of these 3 key components she's mediocre at best.
You get a bad map, you'll probably lose. You get bad luck, and the game decides to feed your blinks to the void making you not go where you're supposed to, potentially losing a chase. You use no addons, have to rely a lot more on survivors making mistakes.
I would like to expand on this last point, which is why I think the nurse is not fun to play as anymore. Pre-nerf nurse had already drawbacks for having such a strong power: fatigue and the lowest moving speed in the game. The problem is, she's been nerfed by adding the charge system ON TOP of the already existing penalties for her.
You move so slow and have to wait for charges to come back up making really easy for survivors to run away if they just... Keep running.
In my opinion, she just has a lot of penalties that are not justified even for having the most powerful ability in the game, and it's really easy for survivors to take advantage from that. Said penalties were first added because she could use her power at will, but now she has less power and more penalties?
(I know you can make her a lot more powerful with addons, but I'm specifically talking about addonless nurse here)

Nurse is still S tier since she can ignore all chase mechanics

A real good nurse does not need addons to do well.

Nah worst addonless is myers. Addons are actually what carries him tier wise. Without the green to charge your stalk faster it takes like 15 seconds of stalk to get out of tier 1. He's the embodiment of a m1 killer meaning the easiest to loop. He has to walk his ass everywhere so no map pressure. His stealth lacks in where ghostface excels as myers has to go up his modes. And tier 1 itself is just bad design. Nurse is actually the best addon and perkless as if your very skilled with her you can beat a meta team with nothing.

I play nurse without addons most of the time, and I can say for sure that she by far is not the weakest killer in the slightest without addons.

I never, ever use her add-ons. Ever. I have no drive or reason to. And I very rarely lose even as a mediocre Nurse. I actually find her to be quite boring and repetitive. The only thing that gives me trouble is indoor maps, but map offerrings are so rare that I get bored trying to practice my indoor Nurse gameplay because of all the boring regular nap gameplay.
In short, Nurse doesn't need add-ons. Just practice. And once you have that practice she's extremely dull.

Myers basically lives and dies by his addons. He and Trapper are certainly worse than nurse basekit (and I'm sure others are too)

Add on-less Nurse is still S tier. Source: I 4k every game with no Ruin/Pop at rank 1 without add ons on Nurse.

Napkin without add-ons is arguably the strongest, definitely top 2, killers in DBD.
What've you been on and where can I grab some?

Don't call her dull 😩

Honestly i find her more fun then spirit. Step 1: equip stridor. Step 2: Smack a survivor. Step 3: go into phase. Profit. Nurse rewards for muscle memory and forethought not just taking all the power from the survivors. And she's way more punishing if your not good at either of those.

When your blinks work.

Bing Bong, your opinion is wrong.
Add-on less Nurse is just as strong as she used to be. The cooldown is just a mild inconvenience and nothing else.

Bugs are always going to be an issue. The devs don’t want to fix nurse because they clearly regret making her

She is indeed weaker than a bunch of killers when playing without addons, and certain maps u are obligated to camp in order to get a single kill, however, she is still a very powerful killer and i'd clasify her as a Top Tier killer, together with killers such as Spirit, Blight, Hag, Plague and Huntress when all of them are played without addons.

I prefer Spirit because I don't use Stridor and I don't do 50/50's or standing still. Also I guess my brain works in straight lines so Spirit is pretty hard for me. I know, ironic, the girl that calls Blight and Nurse easy can't play Spirit. I'm just wierd.
