Why does nobody want to nerf Nurse?

Nurse isn't as mobile as she used to be so she struggles with survivors who spread out on gens. The amount of large maps and maps that are quite unfavorable to her are also quite large. She has huge snowball potential and if you group up against her then you will pay the price, but he same can be said about plenty of killers. If you spread out and did gens and broke LoS while maintaining distance, you could Shift W even a good Nurse and beat her with gen efficiency.

The biggest issue is that most survivors are garbage at this game, and even moreso against a killer like Nurse. So you have all these bad players thinking every Nurse they play is "godlike" when the reality is it's their own lack of skill that causes them to perceive it as OP.

Yea sorry I misunderstood I have seen too many people say similar things meaning that. I have become very umm hardened lol

Honestly I think the Nurse is fine where she is and we should honestly hope that BHVR developers look to her as inspiration for designing more killers going forward. Not necessarily oppressive killers but those that break this tedium of killer ideas that they are currently mired in. For example, why don't we have killers that fly across the map or dig tunnels and capture their prey from underground? Why not killers that can use fog our strike from darkness? We need more killers that break convention and invite new ways to play this game instead of the same old boring tag/hide and seek simulator that has arguably been stale for the past couple of years. What this game needs is growth and experimentation, not bringing killers that actually have some uniqueness back into the same old mired drudgery that most of the others are currently in.

I wish that was an option for me but her blink gives me motion sickness. It's a shame because she looks cool with the WW2 mask, and I usually like a challenge.

She is the best killer in the game....but she's also one of the hardest to utilize properly. She's one of the few actually balanced, gameplay wise, killers in the game and all they did was bug fix a lot of her issues, this needs to be done for almost every killer in the roster. Just because the nurse player is good at predicting where you're running doesn't make the kill itself broken, it makes the player skilled with her even if they have the right addons to help track your aura to line up the shot during those small windows when they proc. It's not like DH or DS where you press a button and good things happen for example. Nurse also has, from my understanding, the lowest kill rates in the game because of her difficulty. Overall that sounds rather balanced to me.

she doesn't need any nerf. not to mention rpd or other indoor maps kill her.

Nurse can't get nerfed. That's her problem. Any nerf to her Power would kill her.

You should look at Nurse like this:

In games, you grind and overcome some tough challenges to unlock some uniquely difficult mode to test your skills. In Dark Souls you push your skills to get the toughest NG+ cycle where one mistake will kill you over and over. Literally working your way to get the most difficult and satisfying challenge.

Nurse is the opposite. You grind the ######### out of her to unlock DBD's secret very easy mode. Because after really getting a good feel of the 'Nurse game', because she plays a different game than DBD, you essentially have nothing stopping you from breezing through 99.99% of the game. No obstacle can limit you. No enemy skill can truly hamper you. Anywhere, anytime, you can destroy the opposition.

Of course she isn't balanced, that's the whole point of Nurse. Enjoy your very easy mode those that bothered to grind out this secret DBD setting. Nerfing her would probably make her pretty poopy too. Which I wouldn't care about lmao.

I never said there should be. It's a bad idea that they can't get rid of, and an easy solution for baby forum whiners that keep complaining the game is astronomically survivor-sided. Though then again they'd need to pour some effort into Nurse.

She isn't fair. It's crap design. And people who benefit from it will defend this dreadful thing to the very end. Let them, it's not like you're forced to play her, and you can just let yourself die if you don't want to face her.

Woops oxymoron. It can't be easy mode if theres intensive skill involved with utilising her power correctly. Nurse consistently scores below 50% kill rate. If you nerf her any further then she will go from being playable by 5% of the community to 1% which at that stage you might as well delete the character. Nurse is actually the ideal example of good killer design.

She's not limited by large map sizes l, bad blinks cost you distance, her and blight allow killers to compete with actually skilled players without being universally usable by players like initial reworked Freddie.

She adds another layer to dbd gameplay by creating strats that involve doubling back or changing your route up to shake the killer. In an era of crow lady nemesis and killers who have zero punishment for power misuse she stands as a heavily power dependant killer that dramatically changes up how survivors play.

Controversial opinion but Nurse is the epitome of the killer and survivor gameplay I want more of in dbd. None of this hold w crap. If thy did rework Nurse I promise you it would likely make her easier to play, less powerful for upper tier play and overall play into the killer design of easy anti loop application with limited means of punishing misplays.

When survivor-mains want to further nerf a killer who has already been heavily nerfed (and suffered severe game-losing bugs for years that Nurse players had to play in spite of), and these survivors consider fixing those bugs as "buffs" (like they were reliant on Nurse being buggy to play against her), it really makes you wonder where the entitled survivor-main narrative comes from.

I'd suggest spending a few hundred hours playing Nurse first and witness first-hand how difficult she is to use, and how effective just simply holding 'w' is against her. Then you can tell us whether she needs a nerf because she's too easy... or whether you find yourself winning because you've developed the skill that survivors (generally) refuse to learn to counter.

I say generally, because I've gone against many survivors that know how to juke my nurse too easily - random pathing, breaking line of sight, and straight-up baiting. If you're getting your backside kicked by a nurse, it's because the killer is more skilled than you are, so you just need to up your game instead of calling for more shackles for killer.

i feel nurse is in a really bad spot where if you nerf her she becomes terrible and literally d tier but at the same time where she is, is not a good spot either and opens up a lot of problems for overall game balance for things like perks but i think shed need an actual rework to change her power lvl

Someone else had a good suggestion - make Plaid Flannel part of base kit but allow Nurse to toggle it on or off using the Activate Ability button.

I hope they never nerf Nurse. She is fun to play and we need more killers like her to play, not because she’s op, but because she’s different, she’s challenging. I can say the same to Huntress and Spirit.

They have cool powers and high skill ceiling.

Well everyone learns differently but my opinion is this addon should not be used. I can only say that as someone with hundreds of hours in Nurse alone and as someone who pretty much only plays Nurse. I would never recommend this addon in any context.
