Is The Nurse fair and balanced?

i think nurse needs a nerf, but i dont know how they would do it without making her horrible to play

I think she's fine. SHe is the hardest Killer to learn and also the strongest. Makes sense to me. Maybe change her Addons a bit but the rest is ok.

I don’t necessarily think she’s fair, but I think her difficulty curve sort of makes up for that. I don’t think she needs a Nerf, but I’m not sure how to vote.

The almighty STATS say pig is doing fine and needs no buffs. On the same stats nurse is at the bottom of the lost thus she needs buffs

This minus the nerf. I Don't think she deserves a nerf, its simply unfair to the people who have mastered her and rightfully deserve the ez kills they get. Nurse is actually quite balanced in her low tier/mid tier brackets. Most players in that skill area can generally still be a threatening killer you have a chance to outplay without ever feeling unfair to fight. A good nurse though? Like a REALLY good nurse? The average/above average Survivor has absoloutely no hope of winning against that and the match becomes more about watching in awe as your team gets demolished by this very rare sight. A skilled nurse breaks every possible option in two, you can't even use nurse specific outplays because they've mastered the killer to a degree where they'll read you like a neon texted book.

TL:DR Top tier nurses are a hopeless depressing fight, but are so rare that i do not think nurse should ever be nerfed further. She is OP in capable hands, though.

No, but she was never supposed to be.

 I dont think she deserves a nerf she is fine

It always bugged me when people are saying "really good Nurse are unstoppable, she needs a nerf", like, really good Oni will stomp on you, a main Blight even more than the Oni, etc... There are players that are "maining" a killer, that are smart, and that have mastered every string you have to know while playing the killer.

It is the same for Nurse, but the people who finally mastered her have a sh*tload of hours with her, so yes, they know how survivors are reacting to her (blame yourself if you're super predictable or running in the open), they know exactly how to charge to blink wherever they want. I'm sorry, but Nurse is my favourite killer to go against by a very very long shot. But to counter her, you have to exactly know how Nurse is working (basically, you have to exactly know where the Nurse wants to blink).

She's fine, after putting 700 hours in her, and playing wisely, I have 4K/12 hooks non stop. But I never loose against a Nurse. The required skill to win against a Nurse is to have mastered the Nurse.

Not really a Nerf, a complete Rework.

Her ability is outdated and should not exist in this form anymore. She is from a time where real Infinites were a thing.

There are two reasons why there are no mass-complaints about her:

• A good Nurse is rare
• A good Nurse took time to learn her

But thats about it. The thing is, nobody needs to learn Nurse these days. Every Killer is viable in Red Ranks and there are a bunch of Killers which help to 4K most of your matches. Back when Nurse was created, only she was able to do that, now you have a huge variety, so nobody needs to bother learning Nurse. You can win almost as many games with Spirit, while only using a fraction of time to learn her.

I guess if more people would invest their time in learning Nurse, we would see more complaints.

So yeah, I guess she needs a serious rework. It should not be basically impossible to lose once you learned her enough. It also should not be impossible to win when you did not put that much time into her.

Like, she needs to be tuned down, but also be more accessible for newer players (like, it should not be as punishing to swing after missing a Blink, as an example).

She's not balanced but she doesn't need a nerf WITH CURRENT GAME STATUS and i wanna focus on the CURRENT GAME STATUS.

I voted for buff, but I also want to add a nerf with the buff.

Remove the fatigue for doing just 1 blink, but increase the ability CD if you don't chain at least once. This way, the skill threshold isnt so high that people turn off Nurse as a viable killer because of constant fatigues, but keeps her deadly level down a bit.

A mechanic who ignores survivor defenses should never exist.

I play since 2016 and she was always OP and will always be.

The Nurse is not overpowered, and does not need a nerf, but that doesn't mean she's fine where she is either. A match of Dead By Daylight that features the Nurse as the Killer is not a balance problem- she's insanely hard and anyone who can stomp with her has basically earned it by being that much better at the game than their opponents. She is not a problem because of that.

The problem is that she has kind of a chokehold on how good any given killer perk or baseline mechanic for killers is allowed to be, because anything only even decent on other killers could be utterly beastly on her. I'm not sure what to do about it, but I'd support a full rework to try and mitigate this problem.

I don't want to see her be any weaker. I want to see her no longer being a thorn in the side of ongoing game balance.

She's really powerful but I think it's justified given that she is difficult to play.

yes nurse is fair and balanced bcs she is soo hard to play and takes a lot of skill to be good with her

To be honest I hate the “recharge” mechanic. She felt more elegant before the change. I’d like to see it removed along with Billy’s overheat (or significantly increase the time it takes to overheat.. at the very least make the cooldown only take about a second to get going again)

Obviously blink recharge was a nerf so it can’t exactly be removed but I wish she retained her elegance because the recharge just looks, feels, and even sounds clunky.

A true nerf on current Nurse could maybe be something like.. regardless of how many charges you have, blinking through a wall at any time and the destination is out of your line of sight then all charges would be consumed. This would limit her to pretty much 1 blink in a lot of situations so you’d really have to make it count.. possibly make it so blinking through a wall/LOS block can only be done if 2 blinks are available (traversing through walls can only be executed on your first blink). If you used a blink in the open without travelling through any objects then the last remaining one cannot be used to blink through a wall for example..

I'm going to say yes, those that are particularly skilled at Nurse are few and far between for me.

But I think that her steep learning curve outweighs the benefits of being good at her.

I don’t necessarily think Nurse is out of balance, but I think she’s really unfun to play as. That wheeze mechanic where you stare at the ground 1/3 of the match is incredibly annoying. I’d consider playing her if I could at least keep her head up while she’s stunned. Heck, if they kept her head up, and to compensate for that “buff” slowed down her teleport refresh half a second, I’d probably like her. As is she’s the only killer I actively don’t bother playing.

Underwhelming trash, let her look in lockers before going into fatugue and you have a good killer .

Certified locker moment.

Isn't Nurse the problem, but survs, with a normal premade, not good, normal, survs got easy win

tell me you don't play nurse without telling me
