Nurse
The Nurse is the only reliable killer in this game
Why do I feel forced to play her in order to have fun as killer?

Embrace the feeling. Enough people start sweating at nurse and maybe BHVR will stop listening to survivor mains.

I agree that nurse is the strongest but I disagree about no other killer being viable there are a handful of killers that can compete at high level if you play them correctly and not every team you face is a sweaty comp swf, I've mained nurse from when she first dropped all the way up till a few months ago and all I've been playing is pinhead, clown, wraith, oni, and blight recently and aside from a few bad games with wraith and clown I've won majority of my games with pinhead oni and blight even against good teams

Nah.. they will just nerf nurse again. 1 blink with a 10 second cooldown.

I have recently switched to playing (7 days ago) Nurse, and I really enjoy this killer. Yes, you get punished for missed attacks, but you don't have to deal with all this other poop in the game, like pallets, exhaustion perks (except dead hard) and so on. I am not saying I don't lose, but I can learn something new every match.

Idk why you are talking
If you don't have anything useful to say

and you do?
If you honestly think you only have a chance as Nurse in pubs the problem is not the game
2 -
Yes I do

lol

Any killer is viable, even the weakest ones. Sounds like Nurse is just a crutch for you, because you fail to snowball as other killers.

Don't you even bother playing her, she's gonna be reworked soon

jajajaja sure mate.

I main Piggy, Nemesis, and Huntress. Win roughly 90% of my matches, with 3-4 kills. The matches that I get 3 kills, either the survivor found hatch, or I let them escape, because they impressed me during the match. Entitlement is so bad in this community. All these people acting like they are oppressed, when they can't just accept they got outplayed. The whiners like to rely on crutches, whether it's certain killers, items/add ons, playstyles or perks.

Some fun Nurse gameplay.

Sweaty nerds keep forgetting that there is a difference between doing a job and playing a game. Unless someone pays you for getting 4k every game, there is absolutely no reason you can't enjoy gameplay by even the weakest killers.

I was consistently a red rank killer, before MMR. MMR is pretty meaningless to me, because it doesn't do anything. But whatever makes you feel better dude. Nurse is the strongest killer, yes, but she's far from the only strong killer in the game. Spirit has an add on combo, that makes her stronger than before. Blight has consistently been strong. Twins are crazy strong. Huntress is strong. Oni is strong. Nemesis is strong. Trickster is strong, and now can abuse an oversight by the devs. Billy is still strong, even if they gave him a unnecessary overheat mechanic. Wraith and Bubba are actually pretty good now. Haven't played Deathslinger since the changes, but he does look a lot weaker than before, bad power design on the devs part imo. Even killers on the weaker end, like Pinhead, Clown, and Legion still gets 4ks. The entitlement is strong in this post, like y'all really expect matches to be handed to you. With whatever killer, you pick to play as, learn how to snowball with that killer. There will always be an opportunity to do so. Even good survivors, are only human, and will make mistakes, capitalize on those mistakes.

rank colors mean nothing for MMR. im ash at the moment still my MMR is so high that i only get 2k hs survivors (at least) because used to play killer way more and win consitently, so even after reset i still get these kind of survivors with most of my killers. seems you dont understand that MMR has nothing to do with the Rank. most killers you mentioned rely on survivor mistakes, the only ones that can deal with good survivors are killers who dont rely on survivor mistakes and at the moment there are only 3, well kinda Blight can find his way and spirit got kinda nerfed but with good addons she is as busted as she was before... but still, only those 3 and the reason 90% of my games in my high MMR survivor is agaisnt one of those 3 guys when i play solo, when i play with friends with different MMR i get some variety (sometimes).
so with low MMR i believe you, i believe that you (because we all know) can win with any killer, because they make mistakes all the time and are not efficient...
dont get me wrong i enjoy playing weak killers because i like the challenge, but sometimes u feel powerless because they dont make the mistakes u can use to capitalize with, why? because they actually good at the game. and dont get it wrong, to lose as survivor they neeed to make A HUGE mistake, not a mistake of we are human, basically they were trolling or greeding too hard in order for that to happen, especially when going agaisnt m1 killers, is always survivors fault losing against those guys, never killers fault, due how predictable they are, tahts why only 3 killers can deal with all that bullcrap... on top of that, if they made a mistake they have multiple second chance perks to run, always expect one unbrekable per game, 4 ds, and a couple of dead hards so no, even if they make mistakes they can fix them.

Not sure if you are just bad with reading comprehension, or just talking out of your ass at this point. I mentioned nothing about the new ranks. I mentioned Red Ranks, which were part of the old ranking system. The system that did play a big part in what your MMR was initially set at, since the devs took months of your play data, to determine your MMR skill level, before SBMM went live. You keep claiming to have high MMR, yet it's a hidden figure, for all you know, you could be getting mediocre SWFs. You assume mine is low, yet I win the majority of my matches, in the old system and new system, that includes SWFs, with all the meta perks, killers like to complain about. I've even watched people with 7000+ hours in the game make mistakes, playing as survivor, so don't tell me surivors don't mess up, no matter how good they are. I've watched people 4K against old system red rank survivors, with Burger King Myers build. But yeah it's impossible to win, without using Nurse ? Lol. Even had the meme Backpack Piggy build end the match faster than a Nurse could. But you assume my MMR is low, and yours is high. Yet I'm winning my matches, and you are losing yours. I've been playing this game for 2-3 years now. I'm fully capable of using killers to the best of the ability, and making builds that benefit them. You have yet to have any reasonable argument, only a bunch of strawmen and assumptions, based on your poor experience, and a hidden number, that nobody even knows what it is. Things haven't changed much since the old system and the new system, so I don't even bother sweating to rank up anymore, as it's pointless now. I just play my matches, to do my challenges and/or gain bloodpoints, and because I actually enjoy playing the game. Instead of whining about unnecessary stuff. We all get it, there's strong perks, killers, add ons, and items, in the game. None of its OP, besides Circle of Healing, that does have the potential of being OP, if played right. Other than that, the game is mostly balanced for both sides than it has been in the past. Quit getting upset and acting like a child, because you lost, or else develop your own game, and so we can all see what you think is balanced and fair for everybody involved.

join the blight club, i guarantee you even if you don't get at least 2k, he feels much more rewarding and skilful to play rather than ez blinks that only takes 30 mins to master (at least that's my experience)

Because you're probably not that good. Or you just don't like the standard DBD experience. In any case, why are you playing this game if the only source of fun is the killer that negates the elements that make it challenging? Go play Dark Souls.
Many 'A Tier' killers are reliable, even in this MMR mess. Feeling's entirely you.

I was going to comment something related to the topic, but your abnormally large profile pic distracted me, because I REALLY want one too.

You do realized that the being red ranked meant nothing right? A good majority of people including the devs said rank didn't mean much outside of you played a lot.
Spirit: A killer isn't strong if you have to run an addon pairing every game and it's not even a brown or yellow addon pairing it's a purple.
Blight: I don't know about consistent but he definitely is strong no arguing that.
Twins: Twins is only good against solo Q. Against competent Swf's not so much.
Huntress: No argument here.
Oni: If you go against a good team then oni is really bad cause he never gets his power. You only get those games at the very top of MMR though.
Nemesis: Literally everyone says Nemesis isn't strong. Good? yes Strong? no. He isn't bad just not good enough to even compare to Oni or Blight, and even Huntress.
Trickster: I definitely do think that Trickster is underrated but he is not strong enough to be considered strong. Similar to Nemesis: Good yes, strong no.
Billy: I haven't seen a billy get more then 2 kills in a really long time outside of some streamers.
Wraith: No argument. He's ok.
Bubba: He is actually someone I think is good not ok.
Deathslinger: No argument. He sucks.
Clown: Only works at lower MMR.
Legion: Only works at lower MMR.
Pinhead: Interesting that you didn't mention they're franklin's, hoarder combo. Without the engineer fang and their franklin combo they're are indeed on the weaker side.
Survivors are humans yes, but they have a bunch of second chances. Unsafe unhook? BT. Getting Tunneled? DS. Getting Slugged? UB. Messed up in chase? DH.

Barely anything has changed about Spirit, she only has a directional audio while phasing, to give her some sort of counterplay, instead of it constantly being a guessing game. She still moves at 7.04m/s, while phasing, and plays exactly the same. The add on combo, that makes her stronger, increases her speed by 40%, and gives her killer instinct. As soon as you hear the killer instinct, you swing, because it'll automatically hit.
When it comes to Twins, you'll be in Victor the majority of the time. Even against SWFs, you'll continously slug, and prevent them from getting to full health.
The only way to prevent Oni from getting his power is dropping pallets early, which is a finite resource, except on Gideon's, not sure what they were thinking with that map. Once Oni gets a hit, he can snowball easily.
Nemesis isn't punished by survivors' resources, and can easily hit survivors through them. He's more strong than just good.
Trickster can throw knives quickly, and doesn't have to wait like other ranged killers. No matter how good the survivor is, they will not be able to dodge 30 something knives.
People who think Billy sucks now, were the ones that relied on his crutches, instant saw and crack Billy.
The only real thing Pinhead has going for him, is chainhunt. His main power is terrible, and the chains break far too easily. Sure Hoarder is a good perk on him. Franklin's can be replaced with something better.
Most killers are fully capable against playing against good survivors. All depends on how you play them. Clown and Legion aren't really the best when it comes to good survivors, but a lot of the time survivors underestimate the killer, not the player, and end up throwing the game.

just read like half, because didnt make much sense, again you can pull that off with low mmr survivors, just that is not that deep. face decent survivors and see how your m1 killers get destroyed with 3 to 4 hooks at best.

Wouldn't that just make them nerf nurse?

Spirit: That movement speed means nothing if you don't know where they are. Also apparently there is already counterplay for the dried cherry blossom MD ring combo so.
Twins: I don't remember which videos it was but I remember watching at least 3 videos where Dowsey, someone that I can confidently say plays Twins really well, couldn't kill more then 1. Twins is not as strong against good Swf's.
Oni: Saying Oni can get a snowball easily is a overstatement. Against average players sure it's easy but against good players no it's not. It's not even a matter of it they hit you early or not it's not easy to snowball against good survivors.
Nemesis: Easily hit is a huge overstatement. Also he is punished by survivor resources. Just not as much as most killers.
Trickster: What do you mean he doesn't have to wait? Do you mean like how fast he raises his knives? Cause his is not that different from Deathslinger's. It also doesn't matter if the survivor can't dodge 30 knives cause if they at least dodge the initial amount of knives the Trickster is wasting much more time then they would have as Deathslinger or Huntress.
Hillbilly: I don't think Hillbilly sucks. He just can't win against good players. He's good against average but that's it.
Pinhead: No argument.
You say most killers are capable but you listed less then half of the killers. Also if people underestimate Clown and Legion that's not the killer being capable that's survivors underestimating them.
