Why do people genuinely want nurse nerfed?

man, so many angry people in here.

I would do a slight nerf to her range add on so you don't get a speed boast from it. Also make her blink attack count as a special attack but thats it.

one carzy thought for the high mmr players. If the kill rate for killers is low at all levels at the moment and you are often only seeing the same two killers, blight and nurse. Do you think small nerfs will to either of them will change the meta and you will start seeing more M1 killers? Nurse does need small nerfs but it need to happen with buffing other killers or I hope you have fun waiting 20+ mins for a match.

Because they just look on their stats and see nurse has the lowest killrate… but we all know that’s only cause new players have a hard time to play as nurse.

Nurse is a relic from an era of DBD that no longer exists.

The average player is not able to deal with what Nurse brings to the table (the complete disregard of every mechanic the game drills into you) and I do not believe she fits into DBD's current balance.

Oh gods. I was puzzled by the comment of @BrokenSouI about the baby killers you versed. I've finally gone to check your twitch channel.

You cannot seriously expect someone to watch even a single 3 hours video to find footage without pointing to it directly with a timestamp. I wouldn't do that for Otz, Tru3, CocunutRTS nor even pretty Rayoxium.

However, among the Huntresses and Bubbas, I've found one short video of the Nurse, from 2021/03/04 (nothing easy to find earlier). I certainly hope it was your first game with her.

Feel free to point to a few videos, with timestamp, where you play her "better than everyone defending her on these forums". (I'll watch, promise). Videos where you verse her would be nice too.

I can't be bothered to do that. I've offered up my profile to show that I play at a very high level, which is simply true.

I've offered this up which is much more than any of the people defending nurse are willing to do. Maybe if any of these nurse players showed any of their game footage that would help a lot. We could see where they are struggling, and maybe even help them.

Like I said, I have about 6k hours in the game, the vast majority of which is streamed. I don't care enough to go through my footage and timestamp things, but it is there for anyone to see. If you want to be proven wrong in how you view nurse, then you are more than welcome to find it yourself. If not, that's fine too.

I assume the video you are talking about is in highlights? Yeah.. I don't highlight nurse videos. It is embarassing playing a character so much stronger than the other team.

I've always had the opinion that Nurse is only balanced out by Dead Hard. Now that it's getting nerfed (and also DS) I think she needs a change.

I don't mind basekit Nurse being strong, so long as her add-ons don't make her stupid. Imo her add-ons (range and recharge) need looked at. I also think Blights add-ons need nerfed also.

I understand that perfectly. I've got this habit to push people to be their best (and then appropriately exploit their skills in my team, when it's a work thing). Liking or not isn't a factor : efficiency above all.

Oh yes, that match. I believe we have talked about it. It's a fine example of good plays and the mistakes (in insight) and how to fix them should be easy to understand to any player with enough experience.

From a design POV the Nurse is excellent. Powerful, creepy, unique. The sort of thing that I would watch a movie about TBH.

However DBD is no longer based around style, but balance. In that sense there is no justification for the nurse.

1. Her counter does not exist. For people who say "Do this to counter Nurse." just... no. Nurse no longer has a counter. Her original counter was stealth. Using the mist, combined with the darker lighting gave survivors the ability to blend in with their environment. That's why survivors could beat 8 blink Nurses. Although TBH it wasn't really enough. But that's how you beat her. You never let her see you, and if she did, you need to break chase before she hit you, using the darker environment. Maps use to be bigger to justify this. With maps reworked and lighting much brighter the counter to Nurse, simply does not exist anymore.
2. game balance is held back because of her. The entirety of DBD, needs to be based around ensuring Nurse is beatable. Which is bad design, when she is so far above the rest of the killers. Perks that are perfectly balanced, become way to overpowered, just on her. Infectious fright, starstruck. These sorts of perks are fine on most killers, sure they are better on some, then others. But nurse is the only one they are overpowered on, and killers are held back on the buffs they need because some killers like Nurse are simply so far removed form the norm, they have to remain weaker, holding back the weaker the killers. Survivors are the same, but survivors need the overpowered perks in order to beat her.
3. The current strategy to beat a legitimately good nurse is to gen rush. Its the only method to counter her downing speed. You simply do the gens too fast for her to get the hooks, thus Nurses have started running infectious fright to counter this and slug everyone until they all go down and get one hooked.

She is bad for balance and is holding DBD back from natural progression, despite the legitimate fun I find with her.

Away, troll.

Why does it look like you have such a hard time moving your mouse and looking backwards? Are you playing with a controller on PC? I'm not even trying to joke..that's exactly what it looks like. I would work on the most basic parts of character movement, first. Obligatory "even a decent nurse would destroy you..."

LOL. Oh my god. Found the video you're talking about. So you're just lying on the forums to save face. That is...sad. 5 generators left, 4k with nurse without using her undeniably broken purple range addon. Only missed blinks were due to survivors using their exhaustion perks. I'll use a bit more game sense next time and make it a 6 generator 4k, just for you. Not even my cleanest nurse game I can remember, but undoubtedly leagues better than you. Ready to show your gameplay?

I'm honestly disappointed. I doubt anyone will bother clicking to watch the video. I certainly wouldn't bother. But they absolutely should. This guy just blatantly lied.

Just nurse things, I guess. Shouldn't be surprised when that‘s how they try to convince the devs not to nerf nurse.

"Every Nurse uses the same, ..."

Absolutely not, case in point:

You'll also notice from the comments quite a few survivors enjoyed the matches, and at least one attests I'm not too bad playing her.

( no such thing as a god Nurse: )

I have pages and pages of end games with that build, I even have some without anything. Oh what the heck, here is one:

(And my valorous opponent here was right of course, trying to pressure the gens works against Nurse as against any other killer. It could have worked.)

I trust I've made my point.

In case it's something you aren't aware of, Nurses are weak to 360 and console players tend to excel at it. Granted it works less and less against the more experienced players but sometimes a slight edge is all that's needed.

The point was pretty clear but here is a tip: read the comment I've replied to, it shouldn't be too hard to understand.

I will not deign to comment about the rest. Getting a stream and not giving the timestamp is being immature, it's the last time I waste my time on you.

Must be hard to judge the gameplay of others from a gamepad. Are you using a controller or not...?

Are you joking? Comp DBD is an absolute joke. I only did it because I was asked to. Both sides have to be handicapped, the only way the killer (not nurse and Blight) can win is getting a fast first hook and getting a good first hook spawn. That's it. It's so boring. I didn't have interest in it while I was doing it. I don't now. I'm sure the footage is somewhere but yeah I have no idea where.

Sure, you don't need to know every spot of the map to blind-blink to them properly and stand a chance. Nor do you need to learn the dead-zones. It's not a thing, at all.

Spoken as a true connoisseur. /S 😆

Any good Nurse is going to bait DH out to make it completely irrelevant. Which means anyone that says that DH has any impact on Nurse just isn't playing a good Nurse

I watch a lot of streamers and they very rarely ever go up against many Nurse's, and even the Nurse's skill is often pretty debatable. So I don't quite understand how everyone on these forums seems to play nothing but Nurse, and also every time she's a god who 4ks in 2 minutes with the same addons and perks, every time. Well, is that surprising? What killers don't often use what's best for them? I'd say the only people running into "nothin but nurse" are probably SWFs, and I suppose I would be upset if I couldn't easily win against non-top tier killers with my friends, too.

It's not.

Just having her Blink perfected automatically on its own just negates a majority of the gameplay. You don't need to be a long distance blind blinking ace to consistently win with ease without having to worry about conventional looping, vaulting, pallets, or map layouts.

And this is before you throw on all the Aura Reading Perks you want to negate walls, ceilings, and floors for the purpose of "blind" Blink Attacks.

Not to mention that an attack after a Blink counts as a Basic Attacks and carries all of the benefits of the Perks that work with them.

The face some people dont understand why Nurse needs to be nerfed is hilarious.

She is the best killer in the game by far and there is nothing you can do againts a good Nurse.
