To people saying nurse has the highest skill ceiling

What's the difference?

Nurse and Blight almost the same. Very hard only at the start but then they are easy to play.

Hillbilly is the hardest to master imo, And all the ones who master him is from 2016-2017. No new Billy mains which makes them also very rare.

You can ALWAYS improve on Nurse. There's always something you can be doing to get better with her. The only limit is the player. The myth of the "god nurse" is just an example of someone who's reached that point. There's no such thing though because nobody is or can be that good.

You can play pinhead and hit every possessed chain, I myself can hit it fairly consistently because the hitbox is pretty forgiving tbh, but at the end of the day he can only do so well against a well coordinated team. You can only be so good with him to a point where it just doesn't matter anymore and that's the point where you've reached his "skill ceiling". The survivors equal to his skill ceiling aren't exactly amazing either because he's just not that good of a killer.

Blight is a way better example here. Eventually though there is a point where even a theoretical master blight will be hard loopable by a good or smart enough survivor.

With Nurse on the other hand it's may the better player win. A survivor won't just be able to prethrow 20 pallets while their team slams 5 gens in 4 minutes against Nurse. You can do that against Blight though. Against Nurse you need to use mind games and conditioning which the Nurse can pick up on and adjust to accordingly. There will, in theory, always be a way for Nurse to gain a hit in any scenario where she is blinking to a survivor. You can't say the same for any other killer. Will she always get that hit? No, but there are many ways she can improve to be more and more consistent at it. Your blinks can be more precise, you can react faster to the survivors movement, you can make better educated guesses based on your own experience and how the survivor is playing and pathing and several other variables.

I think the problem here is that Nurse doesn't HAVE to be that good in many cases though. That's why you get so many Nurse haters claiming she's easy. No the majority of the survivors aren't very good at and don't know how to play against Nurse. That is why. Why is this the case? Because the majority of Nurses aren't very good either. So when you get a Nurse main who's played this very unique killer for 2k hours against a group of 4 survivors with 2k hours each who've played against Nurse in about 5 percent of their matches with even less (much less) of that being actually good Nurses, then who do you think is going to win? This is why if you want to get better at playing against Nurse you need to play her yourself or find a good Nurse player to scrim with. To the people who claim that Nurse isn't as hard as people make her out to be: play her against good survivors that actually understand how the killer works and then tell me how easy it is. Believe me I already know how easy it can be to play against survivors that only know doubling back at every corner. Tell me something I don't know.

I'd also be curious to see how Nurse is performing at top mmr where players claim to be facing her every other match. If that's the truth then the players should have more experience with her which could make the stats go either way. The only issue is the amount of diversity in player skill that is allowed in top mmr so it may not be very accurate.

Really depends on who you're playing against. You don't have to account for a whole lot against most players, but there's a tier of player where you have to utilize a lot of different mechanics and techs.

Only killers in her difficulty tier are Blight and Billy. I play a lot of Pinhead and don't think he's close. The chain difficulty is pretty overstated. An accurate portal equals an easy chain, and there's no point in going for difficult chains.

I think Blight is harder. People say Billy is harder but that only comes from the fact that he's so clunky and weak by comparison. Anyone who thinks Nurse isn't difficult to play well has only ever played her against low MMR survivors. Playing against bad survivors vs good ones is an entirely different game. Bad players will just run in a straight line and let you blink on top of them which makes nurse seem easy when you are starting out. The most bad survivors will do is repeat the same patterns which can be picked up on very quickly. If a bad survivor tries to run back at you then they are probably going to do it every time you blink.

That argument has nothing to do with Nurse though. There's still a distinct lack of challenge for those with 5k+ hrs (just throwing a number out there) who play killer with the intent to win every game. That's what happens when MMR is capped and the acceptable range is that wide. But I'm not sure what that has to do with Nurse.

The skill ceiling of Nurse raises with the survivors she faces. A nurse against survivors that dont predict is very easy to play as, as soon as survivors predict and play more unpredictable she will be way much harder to play as. Thats why Nurse has the highest Skill ceiling, tbf Blight comes really close aswell to that next to Oni.
