Rework or remove Nurse

It's the only killer that is truly broken and never seems to get addressed. When the game starts I find myself pondering how many gens we can finish before we meet our inevitable doom. A match against a nurse with a decent grasp on how to play her is so often hopeless.

And I can deal with certain characters being stronger than others, that's normal, but it's the mechanics. IT IS SO MISERABLE TO PLAY AGAINST. It bypasses the only tools that survivors have to prolong a chase reducing the game to running in straight lines.

I love this game, I really think the devs have done a great job at keeping the game fresh for the many years it's been going. Will be happily jumping into my next one any moment now, but yeah, screw this killer.

    The game needs her.

    She is the only real SWF Killer in game. You don´t see her that often in normal games.

    And as already said - don´t just run - that doesn´t work well.

    Try to run as erratic and unpredictable as possible.

    Thanks guys, next time I play her I'll try somersaults instead.

    Like the nurse in samination say... "What's a pallet?"

    When you run, don't go in straight line, be erratic and unpredictable, and if you fell confident enough or well trained, go to her when she are going to blip

    We are running out of ways to gently nudge players miffed by nurse to try again and be more cognizant of how they're playing.

    If the whole point of this thread was to; Gripe, display your ignorance, and refuse to be open to suggestions, then congratulations - the unnecessary snark certainly locked you in.

    Edit: If you are US and actually receptive to improving, I will gladly get into a custom game with you, but you will be playing nurse and I will be playing survivor.

    Break line of sight, move erratically, double back, etc. Some Nurse players are just going to be better than you and predict those things because they've played her longer. Flashlights and Flash grenades will stop her from blinking when she charges up. That's all I can say.

    Meh the chances of you going against a really good nurse is rare especially since there are so many different killers to choose from.

    It’s kinda like playing call of duty and running into Optic Gaming in a pub match playing Domination or hard point. You just get beat and go next..


    Can anyone confirm she still has the lowest kill rate?
